On Saturday morning, Allen, Chongo, and I went to the Richmond District in SF to check out a 4 bedroom apartment. (Albert was in New York.)

We really liked it because it was spacious, well-maintained, and not too expensive ($2790 a month).

Allen and I then continued to look at other places the rest of the day. But they seemed so much worse than the first one we looked at.

So after a long day of apartment hunting, we went home. We wanted to be the first to send in the application for the first place, so we went to Kinko's to fax 22 pages (application and credit reports) to the landlord.

But we were pretty mad when we had to pay $33 to send the fax! (Kinko's charges by the number of pages.)

Still, this will go down as the best $33 donation ever made to Kinko's-- 30 minutes after we faxed our application, the landlord called and told us we got the place!

For about 15 minutes, Allen, Chongo, and I celebrated as if we had just won the lottery...

Here's some pictures of our new place:

Thanks Chubs, but Potrero Hill would be too far from where I work.

Dave, I'll be crossing the Golden Gate Bridge everyday now, but I was already crossing the Richmond Bridge...
