Live with Eccentric Writers
Date: 2009-10-21, 2:25AM

Oh, hi there!
We're looking for a new roommate, as the old one is moving out soon. "We" in this case is myself and the other roommate, both males, late '20s.
The other roommate mainly works as a chef in high-end French restaurants, but is also a rather accomplished B-movie screenwriter, actor, and production assistant - he co-wrote and appeared in some terrible comedy/porno called XXXorcist, for instance, along with a bunch of other stuff for Burning Angel plus such other random things as late-night Italian horror television marathon lead-ins - "Bikini Bandits" and that sort of degenerate thing. He's also the author of a book called The Hobo's Guide, which he wrote at the age of 19 (he's 30 now) drawing on his experiences as a homeless teenager and all-around scoundrel, and is currently working on a couple of comedy projects. He's also in the middle of a divorce from this crazy woman he married, which is not to say that she was necessarily at fault just because she was crazy as I think he may have actually drove her crazy himself. The guy's a pornographer, after all. But he's not a douchebag pornographer who wears a bunch of rings and shit; he does ironic porn. He's an ironic pornographer. Very well.
I'm a freelance writer and regular contributor to Vanity Fair, The Huffington Post, The Onion (just features for the NYC print edition, not satire), and Skeptic, wrote a political humor book that came out in 2007 and working on another that will be out next year, serve as director of communications for a political action committee that advocates for the Establishment Clause, and working on a couple of other things here and there. My favorite color is your mom.
The apartment is quite handsome, with hardwood floors and a big arch in the ceiling and that's it. We're a two-minute walk from the Flushing stop on the JMZ and an eight minute walk to the Morgan stop on the L, as well as less than a block away from a laundromat and two blocks from a grocery store. Directly across the street is Lumenhouse, a popular Bushwick gallery/studio/all-around venue run by a charming couple who live above the place. The husband fellow even gave me a basketball pump when I was in need of one.
We're looking for someone who's intelligent, creative, laid-back, and reasonable. You must enjoy reading. You can be loud if you'd like; we're usually not, but we enjoy noises.
As noted, the roommate is an incredible chef and he'll make us whatever we want to eat. We've got a Wii, a rocking chair, a punching bag, and a shelf of books consisting mostly of history. We spend most evenings drinking and plotting against our various political enemies. In a couple of weeks we'll begin doing a weekly ten-minute show from our living room for a popular neighborhood website/blog thingy for which I write, and you can be a guest if you're clever or cute or in the room at the time.
Get in touch if you're awesome.
