I am in contact with the shop owner of Electric Ladyland Tattoo
(2 shops--one in the French quarter, the other downtown N.O.).
Her name is Annette LaRue.
Her website is

You can read her bio at

She and some of her artists came to S.F. for the Expo .
So now they are stranded here with only what they brought,
which was a 4-day supply of provisons.

They've been posting on craigslist for a sublet for the group.
So far they aren't getting any response. Maybe because of the size of
her group and how, understandably, they want to stay together--

I think she said there are 6 in her group, plus some of the
guys had girlfriends coming. They have money and can spend
max 2 grand a month. Looking for a furnished sublet, if possible.
They will need it for 3 to 6 months. Do you know of anything?
Are there resources in the local tattoo community to help them
get temporarily settled in here? Or, like, do you know anybody
with a big sublet like that?

I stopped by their booth because it was one of the
most colorful and fascinating booths at the convention.
Their banners were really incredible and they were super nice
and seemed to really have their shit together.
In her e-mails, Annette is real stoic but all the same, I can see
that she's gotta be extremely traumatized, even
though she has not complained at all.
She's apparently a real trooper.
Leslie, do you have any ideas?
Any suggestions for her in her search for the group sublet? Insider's
tips
for snagging a good sublet quick?
