Moveout Stakeout April 2007
Looks like girlnextdoor beat me to the punch [see below]. Here’s what I was going to post:
Friends and neighbors, it’s that special time of year again known here at our house as Moveout Stakeout. Me and my trusty companion GND will be getting in our truck and joining countless other scavengers in swarming the residence hall loading docks and trolling down campus streets at night looking for the reusable castoffs of hurried college students.
If you are a friend and I know where you live in downtown Ann Arbor, please let me know if there’s any kind of furniture or household items you need right now. Include approximate dimensions or preferred color if applicable. If we see anything like what you want, we might be able to pick it up for you. Post your wishlists in the comments below.

This would be an excellent application for Twitter – are you guys on it – befriend me and I’ll twitter out any piles o’stuff I see out in the Burns Park / student ghetto side of town.

Good point! Twitter would be pretty great for this.
Unfortunately I won’t be of any help or assistance in the round-up, but a favorite place to look, especially for loft wood, is Mary Markley–their dump is on the side / back and out of the way.
good luck with the stake-out. is it strange that I miss the annual (bi-annual) activity of seeking out “garbage.”
