[jovino]

So, here is more information for you to look over. Please pass it  
along to those quality candidates. Ideally, we'd love to get someone  
in here by the first of August, but we can be flexible for the right  
person.


As of August 1st, there's an opening in our awesome house! We have  
20' high ceilings in the living room and the workshop, and here's all  
the details:

The house:
2800 sq ft converted warehouse space located in East Oakland. Yes,  
that's a LOT of space. And as a bonus the living room has a 20' high  
ceiling. Also in the living room is a DJ rig, a tiki bar, a dance  
pole and a 15' projection system for that in-home movie theater feel.

Downstairs also includes jovino's bedroom and the sewing studio.

The studio:
M and jovino run bunnywarez (http://bunnywarez.com/) out of this  
mixed-use residence. In the back-end of the bottom floor there is a  
sewing studio with a large cutting table and industrial sewing  
machines. The adjacent rooms have fabric storage and our inventory of  
furry goodies. If you're interested in learning how to sew, we got  
the goods to spoil you right.

Usptairs:
The mezzanine level houses the rest of the space with M's bedroom,  
your bedroom, our kitchen with gas stove and many tools and  
appliances, a dining area, the bathroom with a tub/shower and a  
washer & dryer. Yesh, clean laundry and no coin op for us!

Your bedroom is just off the kitchen. It's a quirky "L" shape which  
creates a nice bed nook, and has a window, an opening skylight which  
gets great breezes and even an AC unit to help cool things off on the  
hot days. Arlette painted the room a nice deep red, but if you want  
another color then it's all yours. She also added some additional  
sound-proofing so you're sure to get a good night's rest even when  
people are hanging out down in the living room. We should mention  
that while our place is great for parties, we rarely throw big ones.  
Once a year we do have a joint birthday party that goes pretty late,  
but for the most part we're more into small gatherings and movie nights.

The shop space:
The workshop has a pretty good set of tools like a drill press, a  
(small) bandsaw and a welder. We also have a decent assortment of  
hand tools and ample room for projects. There is also a set of large  
double-doors to help facilitate moving those larger projects in and out.

Storage:
Inside the shop, there's a loft space with shelves to hold those  
things that you don't use all that often. We also have a bunch of  
hooks high up to hang bicycles. Mostly it's for the playa bikes, but  
it's a neat system to keep the clutter down.

Parking:
We have the fortune of being on the end of the parking lot which  
means we have space for two cars inside the secure, gated parking  
lot. With careful arrangements it's even possible to squeeze another  
car in there. If not, there's always ample street parking in the  
neighborhood.

The neighborhood:
Speaking of the 'hood, it's really quite mellow over here. The  
majority of the area is mixed use and residential. BART is a mere 5  
blocks away and 5 more blocks will get you to a shopping center with  
a decent grocery store. In the other direction is a dizzying array of  
artist residences similar to ours. Traveling west about 6 blocks will  
get you into Alameda where you'll find a plethora of great  
restaurants including the amazing late-night eatery La Piñata 3 as  
well as specialty shops, a Trader Joe's, natural market, 24-hour  
Safeway, etc.

Pets:
Presently, two kitties live with us. Bruce and Ninjai are sisters and  
are about two years old. They are well behaved and have great  
personalities. Since we love to spoil the cats, we built in a number  
of cat-runs around the house. It's always fun to watch them scurry up  
and around when they are in play mode. We will certainly welcome  
additional critters provided they are well behaved and play well with  
others.

The rent:
Rent will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $715 a month for a  
single, and negotiable for a couple. This amount includes DSL, all  
utilities and everything else you see here. We don't have cable, but  
you are welcome to have it put in if you wish. We don't have a  
television either. Just that big-screen thing that was mentioned  
earlier.
