Wheel of Fortune


 

Wheel of Fortune is a television game show originally devised by Merv Griffin which runs in local editions around the world. It involves three contestants competing against each other to solve a word puzzle similar to Hangman. The name of the show comes from the large wheel that determines the dollar amounts and prizes won (or lost) by the contestants.

About the Place: We just moved in, and have one room available in our 3 bedroom apt in SOMA. Besides a great location, we have a washer/dryer, a deck, great sunny backyard with a garden (apples, limes, lemons, avocados, aloe, orchids, tomatoes, etc.), a spacious living room, nice big kitchen, one shared bathroom and a storage space below the apartment. Move in Oct 1st, deposit $500. About Us: Late 20s, creative, artsy, music enthusiasts, photography, cooking, camping, anything outdoors actually. We're both from the Midwest originally and moved from the beaches of SoCal where we have lived for the past 6 years. We like to go out for good beer and wine and/or stay in and have a mellow night. One male, getting a Masters in Photography at Academy of Art University, big on the music scene (going to live shows, playing, singing, photographing artists, etc.) you will be his subject on photo shoots.. just an FYI. One female, Casting Director and aspiring writer, big into board games (especially Clue and Scrabble) and game shows (been on Fear Factor, and will be on Wheel of Fortune in three weeks). About You: 20s, responsible, clean, creative, likes to cook or at least do the dishes if we feed you, up for hanging out with us, grabbing a drink, watching movies, having arts n crafts nights, etc. Of course you pay on time and be respectful of our stuff...and finally we'd like you to genuinely like it here. Contribute, decorate, be creative! Move in Oct 1st. Artist is a huge plus, but by no means required. Send us a little bio on yourself including a photo, and tell us why you want to join us/would fit in. If you have a website/venue showing your work (read: are an artist), we would love to check it out. Thanks and good luck!
