Elgin Craigslist Roundup

If you’re feeling under the weather on a Friday night, what better to do than peruse craigslist?

*Somebody help this guy. Seriously, his request is adorable. He wants to give his girlfriend a handwritten poem, but has bad handwriting. He will pay $20 for you to write the poem out nicely. See? Adorable!

*You can attend and camp at the Lazy River Music Festival for free in exchange for 3-4 hours of volunteer work per day. Not my number one style of music, but anything outdoors during the summer is awesome. If I didn’t have a wedding that weekend I’d probably do it.

*I always thought driving an ice cream truck would be fun. Too bad they’re not looking for part-timers.

*This women is my hero. She’s offering to temporarily take care of the dogs of people whose houses are getting foreclosed. I hope she takes this one. Or maybe it’s time I ask my landlord if I can have a second dog here.

*This guy needs a cop to fingerprint him. A cop who can supply the ink, at that.

*Women’s Midlife Friends & Bunco Group. Enough said.

…LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

*Did you know Elgin is home to “America’s Best Psychic Fair?” Starts tomorrow.

More Elgin Craigslist

How did I miss these? This time with commentary:

1) Carpool to donate plasma get paid

I drive twice a week to donate plasma in Aurora from Elgin. I will tell you what donating is about (you get paid each time). I am looking for people to carpool with me to split cost.

That is the exact listing. Donating plasma twice a week? Is that healthy? Not judging, I honestly don’t know how it works. [Update: I looked it up and yes, you can donate plasma twice a week and be just fine.]

2) Improvisation Workshop

The Elgin Branch of American Association of University Women is sponsoring Femmeprov, an improvisation workshop for women of all ages, on Saturday June 21 from 9-5. A performance open to the public will be held at 3:30 the afternoon of the workshop. A cost of $25 will cover continental breakfast, Chinese lunch, and a Femmeprov T shirt. This workshop is the beginning activity aimed towards developing a small company of women to perform regularly in the Fox Valley area. Please email for further information: garethsitz@sbcglobal.net

So which would be time better spent, doing the female-only improv or trying out for a short horror film? I figure at least one of them is calling me.
