Host a Red Square (AKA “Living Out of a Backpack Part 0”)

Want to host* a red square for a bit? And by that I mean: me, on your couch. You know, hosting-hosting. Not “hosting”.

I’ll write more about “perma-traveling” and working from a laptop, soon. Short version: it’s awesome.

For now, here are the bullets:

• This is something of an experiment. It’s going great so far. I’ve spent the last few weeks at the kickass and amazing Colleen Wainwright’s place in LA.
• I’ve spent the last few years turning this Twitter+Tumblr thing into something special. It lead to me quitting my job and making a living as a freelancer. It’s lead to amazing friendships with beautiful people, and my life has changed drastically. Who knew “posting stupid shit on the internet” could do all that?
• Now I’m taking it to the next level. Instead of flying back “home” to Brooklyn next week (to be with the admittedly kickass and amazing @EffingBoring and @phylhrmnix)…
• … I’m looking to keep bouncing around the west coast for a bit.

OK, but WHERE and WHEN?

• Contact me.
• Starting next week around 21-June. That’s just the beginning, though, in theory. More later.
• Any or all of: California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia…
• … for now. Today the west coast. Tomorrow the world!
• One week, two weeks, three weeks… whatever. I can always fly back to NYC if I need to or want to.

I mean, yeah, paying rent sucks. I hate it, too. What makes you special? Do you NEED a place, or just WANT a place? 

• Want.

Can you provide anything in exchange?

• I’m open to doing some occasional bartering for web design / strategy / “social media” reality checks / etc.
• I could pay you money, but that would go against the grain of this whole freeloading hippie thing I’m doing.
• I’ll do your dishes and entertain your family and pretend to like petting your cat.
• Non-profit work extra-preferred on the bartering front.

How do I know you’re not insane / How do you know I’m not insane?

• You don’t / I don’t. (Though I don’t much care.)
• I’ll get a proper “perma-traveling” site up soon, post some “Facebook kissy face pictures”, and throw up a portfolio later when I’m between clients.
• For now, it’s all on faith, baby. You could read my Twitter, but depending on who you are, that might help or hurt.
• About me.

I think your idea is retarded and / or I don’t live on the west coast, but I love you and wish you well.

• I love you too.
