| You're a kitty! |
[14 Jul 2009|03:04am] |
I hope this sort of post is acceptable--I checked community guidelines quickly and didn't see anything, but please let me know if it isn't, mods. Also, er, hello, everyone.
I literally found two very young kittens on my doorstep (in SE PDX) this weekend, with no sign of a mother, though they look too young to be away from one. Their eyes are just open and they're running around, and as dangerously cute as may be expected. They look like strays: a little thin, a little sick, but they're incredibly sweet and already affectionate. They'll run to you and fall asleep purring in your hands. They're irresistible in the flesh.
We've called the Humane Society, who won't take them, and referred us to Multnomah County Animal Control, who would take them but where they'll in all likelihood be killed soon. I'd like to avoid that. But I'm moving out of my house Wednesday night, and can't take them with me.
Does any of you want two (or even one, but they seem like a good pair) very young, very adorable, very sweet kittens? Can you foster them even briefly? Do you know anyone who might, and can you please ask around to see if anyone you know can take them? Please feel free to make your own LJ posts, or copy from mine, but please link back here to keep coordinated.
ETA: To make it extra sad, both kittens have what I am told (thanks, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pandoranoir) is an upper respiratory infection--it's what's making their eyes extra weepy, and they sneeze sometimes. It's unfortunately very contagious among other cats, so this may make finding homes even more difficult. My knowledgeable friend who is helping foster (and who has a full-grown, healthy cat) tells me they've gotten better since we got them and they should be all better in a week or so; however, it's something you should know before taking them on. Unfortunately, I'm sparsely employed and can't really afford vet care.
I'm really in a bind, please help if you can. Even posting to your friendslist, or asking a single person today whom you know, would be something. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Okay, I think it's a reasonable time to post this, now. :) My mistake on doing so in April, when the glaciers were just retreating through Montana.
2009 Reed Reunions Class Dinner. It's my 5th year reunion. I'm moving away for graduate school, so I figured this was like a last Reedie hurrah for me in town. Are people going to attend? I think it would be fun.
Reunions: 6/2-9
Class dinner: 6/5 Friday

| Reed Alum looking for a roommate in NE Portland |
[10 May 2009|04:43pm] |
This room is available Jun 1st, and is ideal for a student staying in Portland for the summer, but I welcome anyone looking for a longer term.
We are looking for an awesome roommate to round out our community (open to couples). We’re committed to creating a compassionate space in which we can all grow and live well. We look forward to making dinner with you, hearing about your day, and chatting about who’s going to clean the bathroom next.
A large 13.5’ x 19’ room is for rent in the desirable NE Portland/Piedmont area. This ranch style, corner lot home is on a quiet street near NE Michigan & NE Bryant.
Come home to your wood-paneled and plush carpeted room with lots of closet space and big windows.
There are spacious indoor shared spaces: a newly painted dining room and retro-style kitchen with lots of surfaces. A living room w/fireplace and projector make a great place for watching movies. We share a bathroom with a newly installed shower. Do your laundry in-house with the washer/dryer. Surf the high-speed wireless internet around the house or on the plush office couch.
Like to sit in the sun? Enjoy a fenced in garden area with beautiful rose bushes, or get your hands dirty in our vegetable garden.
Bike rider? Take a short bike ride to Fresh Pot Coffeehouse on Mississippi or check out the Common Grounds Wellness Coop on Alberta.
Near Bus Lines: #4 & #44, which run between St John’s and Downtown, and #6, which runs through Lombard and down NE 42nd and SE 39th
Want to take a walk? Enjoy the original Portland Rose Garden at Peninsula Park with Tennis courts & swimming pool; or pickup some groceries at the Arbor Lodge New Seasons; or hop a ride on the Max into downtown if the weather is funky. AJ Java is right around the corner as well.
Your Housemates:
Matt: 503-415-9533
Matt ('07) currently works in higher education and is into yoga, meditation, gardening, cooking, random tree climbing, biking to nowhere, and reading about how to fix the things that he breaks. Hopefully, this will start paying off soon.
Corey: 503-799-8838
Corey currently runs a Farmers Insurance Agency located on Mississippi Ave. and enjoys anything active and outdoors - camping, hiking, mountain biking, boating, snowboarding as well as some things indoors - working out, reading, and now working on home projects. :-)
1st month’s rent of $500 with fully refundable deposit of $250 due at lease signing ($750).

I just went to sign up for my 2009 Reed Reunions Class Dinner, but I admit I balked when IRIS reported that exactly zero of my classmates had registered so far. Are people going to attend? I think it would be fun.
Reunions: 6/2-9
Class dinner: 6/5 Friday

What's the stupidest or most ridiculous thing you did to balance sleep, social, academic and other needs while at Reed? My roommate once ate breakfast in the shower.* Can you beat that?
* I would have forgone either food or the shower, but whatever. As for me, I regularly slept in the twatch office junior year in order to maximize the amount of sleep I was getting. My senior year roommate says that leaving campus at 4am counts as ridiculous, but he has different priorities.

| Reedies in Denver - Historic Opportunity to Get Out The Vote - USA |
[31 Oct 2008|11:28am] |
Dear All,
This weekend I'm in Denver helping Progressive Future in a "Get Out The Vote" effort. The effort is all partisan as we just want as many people to vote as possible.
The problem is, we need helpers as we are short for this weekend. If anyone is willing to help please e-mail me privately, g-chat me, or call me at 646-315-0632.
This is a great opportunity to help the United States of America hours before the election.
Anyone in Denver - please contact me! This is truly a historic opportunity.
Please note - this is cross posted.
Best Regards,
Kylee H.

It strikes me that I've learned a fair amount about brewing beer. If any Reedies want someone to ask questions about the process, please feel free to contact me.

Hey housing searchers, or friends of housing searchers,
An old Reed house has a roommate leaving for SF soon, and we are looking for someone (or a couple) to replace her. You would be living with 2 reed alums ('07 and '08) and one non-reedie in SE just a couple blocks from Holgate and 39th.
we are friendly, clean, and supportive. our house just got a new paint job. we love people who like to chill out on the porch and eat good food. we expect you to do a chore once a week and prioritize aesthetic. We have a loose commie food structure so that we DON'T each have our own eggs and salt. we like to share.
Please email koren@alumni.reed.edu if interested. Rent is $375/month.
Thanks for passing this on to your friends!

Portlanders: I'm having trouble finding used brewing equipment: I'm looking to purchase all sorts (racking canes! sparging tools!), but especially a few 5gl corny (cornelius) kegs, a CO2 tank, and a gas regulator. Those three new would cost about $250. If anyone has any local contacts, please let me know. Otherwise I'll keep calling these restaurant supply stores and scouring craigslist. Thanks.

| Obama fundraiser - volunteers needed |
[21 Sep 2008|11:16pm] |
Hey Griffonites,
There will be a big fundraiser for the Obama for America Campaign that will be held THIS WEDNESDAY Sept. 24th from 7-9pm. I need 2 people to be greeters and work the elevator, as 40-50 people will be trying to navigate from downstairs to upstairs. There will be food and drink, and of course, you'll be indirectly contributing to Obama's Victory Fund.
Please contact me if you are able to help out. This event will be held on the South Water Front. I'd love to meet you if you don't know me and I don't know you, but of course, for the Reedies I know, it'd be great to see you again.
Best,
Matt Koren

| In Search of Reed Shirts! |
[31 Jul 2008|09:42am] |
I’m making a Reediana quilt out of old/new Reed t-shirts. Fun, no? Anyway, I’d love to get t-shirt donations from alumni, current students, faculty, staff, or campus organizations. Have an old shirt that doesn’t fit? Is it covered in blue picter paint? Is the back charred because you got too close to the RKSK bonfire? Do you just never wear it or no longer want it? Do you work with T-Shirt Kollective, Fetish Ball, Renn Fayre, the Print Shop, etc. and have old shirts you can’t sell or that didn’t print well? Well I want them all!
If you have a Reed shirt of any size, color, message, design, or year, damaged or not, please let me know!
The plan is this: You mail/FedEx/UPS/Pony Express/teleport/etc. the shirt to my home. I will mail you an envelope containing reimbursement for your shipping costs (within reason), a photo of your block/piece of the quilt, and a thank you note. If you choose to include the information, your name and year of graduation will be embroidered onto the quilt once it’s completed. I will keep the Reed community updated on the progress of the quilt and will include pictures periodically. Eventually I will donate it to the library archives (if they want it).
If you’re interested, please email me at natalie (dot) troxel (at) gmail (dot) com or ntroxel (at) ucdavis (dot) edu or just respond to this post for more info.

We are two Reed alumni trying to start a small business. We need website design services & printing for marketing materials. We prefer to use other Reedie businesses if possible, so does anyone provide or know someone else in the website/printing biz?
