The Couch Hop Hustle - Also - Bacon Mustache Levitating


Back in Chicago - I have begun, The Couch Hop Hustle

Moving to a different couch every week for 3 months may not seem like the most glamorous lifestyle, but 2.5 weeks in - It seems alright.

The Back Story

Article 1: Nathan Scheetz. 
He can Levitate. 
He's also one of my best friends on the planet. 

Nathan and I get along like ranch and pizza. And I really like me some ranch and pizza. You see, Nathan,  has a lease that's up on February 1st. That means, that if I can manage not signing a lease until then, we can move in together.  I'd really like to learn to levitate. 

Article 2: Emily Kurash
She can grow a Bacon Mustache.
She's also one of my best friends on the planet. 

Emily and I get along like dragons and Harry Potter. And I really like me some dragons and Harry Potter. You see, Emily, may be leaving her current place of being, and moving to Chicago around February 1st. Which means, if I can manage to not sign a lease until then, she could move in with Nathan and I.
I'd really like to learn to grow a Bacon Mustache. 

Conclusion:

If  I don't sign a lease until February 1st, I can move in with one of my best friends, and potentially two. 
More importantly - I can learn to grow a Bacon Mustache while Levitating. 

Game Plan:

I have been, since October 31st, and will be, until February 1st - Couch Surfing. 

I have 2 or three weeks lined up at any given time. And send out emails every so often to line up the next ones.  I travel with a hiking backpack, a guitar, and my over the shoulder bag. I have 1 weeks worth of clothes, a bread pan, 5 pounds of flour, 48 OZ of oil, 4 OZ of yeast, 1 jar of raspberry jelly, 1 jar of Peanut Butter, and general knitting supplies, as well as the laptop I'm typing on. I think there is a fun size snickers in that bag somewhere, which, will eventually turn up. 

So. Thank you Rick Adams, Nick Ostrem, Sean Gath, Nathan Scheetz, and Morgan Gire - Who, have already housed me while on my quest of learning how to grow a Bacon Mustache while Levitating. And thank you to the many others who will. 

At the end of this - I am sure, there will be a song. But, then again, I've said that and been wrong before. :)
