Sweet Jesus! I'm so sorry to hear that man. I can see why you might need a drink.
Did you find the culprit or get an idea of how your ID was stolen? I'll be super frugal since money this month has gone to credit card bill, food, and the MTA.

Anybody know of any cheap moving companies? I just want to transport my clothes, TV, games, game systems and some light camera equipment that I could honestly take up half of that myself with my laptop. No furniture, it's all shit anyway so not worth keeping.

I used Clean Cut Movers to move my entire 1 bedroom last October. If I remember correctly they were like $200 cheaper than the next cheapest option with solid reviews. I think it ended up being like $400 or so for 3 hours, 2 movers and a truck. They were totally fine.
Though in your case it might be better to ask around your friends, see if anyone has a truck/knows someone who has a truck.

Yikes, my money is tight enough as it is. My parents don't seem willing to load up the suv either.

I'd really push for them to load up a car. Doesn't seem like you have enough stuff to warrant a moving truck.
Oh wow
That sucks
You don't have to do it this weekend!
You have more pressing concerns
How long do you have to move? I mean if have time could be multiple little trips.
Hi NYC gaffers!
So I've been living here for almost a year and it's come time to move out of the short-term rental I've been in. Been looking at place, ideally broker-free because that fee can be a bit ridiculous. I'm curious, though. What do you guys think the chances are of finding a 2br for $1500-$1800? Don't wanna live out in Far Rockaway, either. Hoping to keep my commute reasonable.
I can go higher, but I'd rather not. It's been tough going, but there are a handful I've seen. Mostly just curious since I've not been here long enough to get a good feel for prices yet.

Damn dude, sounds like we should be buying you drinks.

Next Friday. I'd do it piece by piece fine, but I don't have a bag that's too big for my clothing and my tv would be the problem. I mean at some point I could just get B&H to ship one to me, but still why?

Why not rent a car yourself?
You can get a daily rental for under 50-60.
or zipcar for 30 (registration fee) + 8 or so an hour

I'd load mine up, but I have no real urge driving that thing up to Brooklyn from Long Island.

A 2 BR for $1800? Good luck. Most 1 BR's are $1800+.

Finding one bedroom for that price (>$900) is easy, if you're flexible. Finding a spot with 2 bedrooms together is much, much tougher.
I've spent the last hour walking around Little Italy and Nolita trying to find the bar my brother's birthday meetup is at. I'm Mr. Magoo'ing so much. It says it's near East Broadway and Greene St. but I've going around in circles. Thanks Google Maps!
EDIT: Found the place. It was next to the East Broadway F Train station across the street of all places.

I think I'll start doing these when I hit Brooklyn. I don't want to pay for the LIRR and taking the bus in to Jamaica Center and riding the E in is fucking taxing on the body.

I have to pack stuff up for my move. Once I'm settled I'll be good to meet up.
Thought you already made the move, oh well. Gonna miss ya, see you next time.

I did a temporary move for June, moving to the new permanent place for July
I just got into the apartment now since I thought the doorknob was screwed up and my brother was here the whole time but didn't hear me frantically ringing the doorbell. Had to get a neighbor to call the super since I left my phone charging. Long story short, the Super used common sense. Need to take a shower and get changed to head out.
Well, I did steal a table for my pork sandwich thing.
