For those of you still keeping track of this search of mine, I did end up making it up to San Francisco last week; my stay lasted from Monday to Thursday, and while it was indeed fun, it also seems to have been productive. While it's not official that I have the job yet, it's looking very positive - the interview went wonderfully, and at the moment they are running a background check on me. Keeping my fingers / claws crossed on this one.

Now, especially as this is looking pretty good, I do seriously require that housing assistance if at all possible. I've had a few nibbles on that front, but in the end everyone seems to be quite full-up house-wise. As much as I'd be willing to spend nights outdoors in the area - the entire time I was there, I think I was mildly chilly once, and even that was a fair bit north of where the job will be - I still have my cat to worry about. Also, I'm not entirely sure of the legality of such a thing in Mountain View. ^^;

Finally, a friend of mine,  Baphnedia, is also in need of a little bit of assistance; his, however, is more financial. At present he is trying to produce a game called SIN through Paradice Games; however, he lost his job about a month after I did, and as such cannot really back the project any more. As I cannot help in my current situation right now, I felt that at least spreading the word might help somewhat. If you're curious, send him a note or something! I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you all about it. :3
