Tao-<br><br>the trash bins are by the elevator. you are welcome to help with emptying the smaller bins into the big black bin (or blue for recycling).<br><br>the big bins need to go out 2 nights (Monday and Thursday) a week for pickup the following day. i think you just take the bins down in the elevator and put them on the curb just outside 2169 mission.<br>

They go in the cabinet under the stovetop in the kitchen. There is a roll of some cheapy ones now but they don't fit our cans well and rip easy.<br>

This is exactly the sort of "personal drama" post I dislike & wanted to avoid, but I can't really overlook the boulder that just landed on top of me & I don't have time to write a mass of individual letters right now. This is the first time I've been online since Tuesday night, when the universe - my universe anyway - seemed to begin a slow meltdown that culminated in total implosion.<br>
<br><b>ZiP Issue One is going to be delayed slightly due to circumstances presently beyond my control.</b> I'm determined to finish it, hopefully in the next few days, because too much work has already gone into
it - mine and the work of others, notably Adam, Miloh, and Gavin - to
throw it away. <b>This is as far as most people need to read. Anyone who wishes to know more about my personal circumstances, read on.<br></b><br>For anyone who doesn't know, I've been squatting for the last few months, and Wednesday morning - following a horrific night in which I got absolutely no sleep due to the drug-addled antics of a former "friend" who owes many people, including myself, a MAJOR apology - a man claiming to be the owner of our squat came over with police & threw us out, along with all my stuff. My immediate goal is to find a place to crash temporarily, and hopefully somewhere to stash some of my stuff so I don't lose everything I own in a flash. I was a first-time squatter. I had two months that were really quite lovely, and then it suddenly ended in a way that was not lovely at all. I knew this could happen when I started, and I accept it.<br>
<br>My future in SF is very much in doubt at the moment. My 3 years here have been an endless series of catastrophes wherein I am unable to ever find stability because my living and/or employment situations are constantly on the rocks. As much as I like Noisebridge, it is plagued with needy people who take and give nothing back to the space. I don't want to be one of them - I never once slept there, never will; actually brought a number of homeless or shiftless people from NB to my squat, in an attempt to alleviate that issue; usually have and prepare my own food which I share with others when I can (but not when I can't). I've been able to get lots of creative work done - it's my passion and really the only thing I care about - over the past few months largely because I haven't had to work full-time and have been floating on unemployment. I haven't figured out how to make a living, at SF rates, through writing, zine-making, & other forms of creativity yet. The paper I was writing for paid $50 an article and I wrote about 3 a month for them. That doesn't even pay the bills when you're <i>squatting.</i><br>
<br>So I'm giving serious thought to leaving the city. And going.....anywhere else! Maybe back to Portland. It seems to be calling to me. I fought for a long time because leaving felt like defeat & failure, but you gotta know<br>
when to fold 'em<font size="4">*</font> and I think it may be that time. Maybe I'm wrong and there actually is a life for me here, we'll see. I'm really in the mood to travel the world with everything I own in one small suitcase & start over fresh somewhere new, outside the U.S. But I don't have a passport or money for airfare, so that's a pipe dream for now.<br>
<br>Maybe I'll come to NB this eve to attend 5 Minutes of Fame, but I'll probably feel lame for flaking out.....so probably not. I hope it goes well.<br><br><br>End of File<br><br><br><br>Tony the Dilapidated Tiger<br>
