Surveys, Surveys, Surveys
"Move the Frame" Blog Survey

My friend Anna, who has had a video dance blog Move the Frame for some time now, is conducting a little survey to collect information about the perceptions of Move the Frame blog and videodance in general. This is to help improve the blog and make it more useful to the videodance community. Also, she is writing a case study on Move the Frame for her Media Management class on branding at The New School, so it's a good time to take stock and get some feedback on the blog. This survey is really short. It should only take a few minutes to complete, and your feedback will be helpful to Anna. Don't worry if you don't know what videodance is, or have only glanced at Move the Frame blog once or twice. All information is useful information

Sway Machinery with Likeness to Lily
Veteran subway-performing singer Jeremiah Lockwood teams up with an all-star cast of NY underground greats. Calling upon the sounds of Malian guitars, Saharan beats, Afro-pop horns and the B-L-U-E-S, Sway Machinery goes knocking at the gates of prayer with muscles swollen and eyes clenched. "Lockwood's arrangements of Jewish cantorial songs whip up a frenzy wherein all the world's music can do that which music does best: celebrate." - Village Voice
Likeness to Lily is a rare blend of style and soul. This Brooklyn-based quartet's original songs by trained opera singer Susan Oetgen evoke timeless tales of romance and reality, tinged with modern savoir-faire.

We have two rooms becoming available in my apartment,.
First, the apartment:
It's a 4-BR, 2 bath duplex occupying the top 2 floors of a 4-story brownstone on tree-lined 6th Ave. in north Park Slope. It's 2 blocks from either the B/Q or the 2/3 trains and a 10-minute walk to almost every train at Atlantic Ave. It's on a residential Ave. between the bars and restaurants on 5th and the shops on 7th, and a short walk from Prospect Park. For any of you not familiar with the area, it's beautiful and has everything you need. The apartment has been very recently (as in, still finishing up now) painted and spiffed up with new fixtures. There is a laundry room with washer/dryer in the apartment, hardwood floors, kitchen is small but with a new stove and a dishwasher, large living room, free DirectTV. We share the building only with our landlords, who are a couple who live on the bottom two floors with their dogs.
Bedroom #1 is available anytime from around May 10 to June 1--we're flexible. It's on the top floor, street side, on the small side, but there's enough room for a bed, a dresser, and a desk, and there's some additional storage space available elsewhere in the apartment. It's newly painted, and it's $770/month.
Bedroom #2 is available June 15. It is also on the top floor, street side, lots of light. It's a big room. I'm not so great with the square footage, but people have fit a queen-size bed, a dresser, a desk, and a futon/couch in there, with room to walk around. There's also a (non-working) marble fireplace and a large closet with some built-in organizers. It's also newly painted, and is $917/month.
There are 4 people total living in the apartment. I live on the first floor, everyone else on the second. The new people would share the top-floor bathroom with each other (so you only have to share a bathroom with one other person). My roommate Dan is a writer and works for a children's book club as well. I am a book scout. We're both in our early 30s. We're looking for someone friendly but fairly quiet (we read/write a lot at home), responsible, clean, down-to-earth, etc.
Rent is as listed above, heat & hot water included. Utilities (includes electric, dryer/cooking gas, and wireless internet) run an additional $30-$50 per person, depending on the season.
