Surveys, Surveys, Surveys
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

up a frenzy wherein all the world's music can
do that which music does best: celebrate." -

soul. This Brooklyn-based quartet's original
songs by trained opera singer Susan Oetgen

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.
