OGC Inaugural Pajama Party in D.C.??

Dear sistahs and friends,
I hope your holidays were wonderful and may your 2009 be happy, happy, happy!!

Here's a thought. You can have an OGC pajama party for the inauguration at
my place in DC. No, this is not an OGC function, but it could be for the right price. I'm
offering my house for 3-5 day rental for folks going to DC during the inauguration
week and I had the thought that some of you girls might be interested.
PLEASE READ ON FOR DETAILS.

All hotels in the Washington, DC area are sold out for the inauguration, but
there is still hope. YOU CAN STAY AT MY PLACE!!  I just renovated my
3-bedroom, 2-bath rental property (single family home) in Washington, D.C. 
Since I haven't advertised it yet for a long term rental it is available and can
sleep from 6-8, maybe 10 if the last two people bring an air mattress.  Deadline
for reservations is this Thursday, Jan. 8th.  Please see my ad and pics on
Craigslist at the url below.  Please note that it is listed on the Chicago
Craigslist for today and tomorrow. Then, I will shift it to the WashingtonDC
Craigslist for Wednesday and Thursday.

If you are seriously considering and have any questions, don't hesitate to send
me a message either at cocojazz@comcast.net or through the Craigs List email
option.  FEEL FREE TO TELL ANYONE LOOKING FOR SPACE!
