Today we had THE meeting.
Not A meeting, THE meeting.
For months now we have been saving money and bracing for the commin rent increase, well it's upon us and it SuCKS!
Our rent went from 12 hunnerd to $1500 a month, we had to sit down and raise everyones rent, the way we did it was to have the folks bargain and haggle for how much they could afford, most of them are just scraping by as it is.
Pinga suprized me for giving himself a rent increase without us having to pull his teeth, he is the cheapest dude here and he offered it willingly, that was cool, that's why he is the treasurer of the Circus fund.
When it comes down to it (and including all the other stuff I pay for year in and year out) I really pay a lot, but I also make more money than anyone else here (by working the most hours) and I get a lot of money from investing in the hot dog cart.
Looks like besides the Shmanarchist Idol show at 7 on Last Thursday, it's gonna be an all out struggle for cash on that day, the Idol show will pay the people who perform in tips, it won't be much.
Will told me he was instaling himself into our house and his girlfriend wasn't too happy about it.
I saw Caffeine and said "It's not like anyone TOLD Will to move in"
she said "Oh Pinga told him to move in."
I guess he lives here now.
At the end we were still quite short of the rent ($50) then I wrote about it on our marqee and a dude kicked me ten.
Hey bub, Got $40 to throw away on some clowns?
We need a grant for some of this stuff we do.

fwiw, $1500/month will get you probably a $280,000 mortgage or so. can you get a big enough house in portland for that much? maybe. maybe not. from what i heard(?) the market is kinda slowing, so maybe its easier.
may be all kinds of hassles and whatever, but might be worth looking into? better than rent increases for the rest of your lives. with the manpower and help you guys could get from your supporters, you could get a crappy fixer and whip it into shape.
