Review by LISTRESPOND, July, 2011
I decided to see what all the fuss over Holly was about. She & I texted a bit yesterday, she said it was her day off, but if I wanted to get a short-stay place she'd see me. I opted to pass and asked if she was working on Sunday. She said she would be and we scheduled a time to meet. It's a bit of a hike for me to get up to New Haven, especially with summer time traffic. A couple hours before our scheduled meeting time, I texted her a couple of times to confirm, didn't hear back. Then an hour before our scheduled time, I decided to take the drive up anyway and see what would happen. Texted her again on the ride up and didn't hear back. Called her and left her a voicemail about a half hour before the appointment as I still didn't know where I was supposed to meet her. At the scheduled meeting time, I got off the highway in New Haven and called again and she answered. She basically said that she flaked and that her roommate had been out with the car and she hadn't had a chance to get a room. From here on out, I decided just to roll with the punches to see what would happen next. After about 15 minutes of very confusing conversation, with her talking to her roommate and roommate offering suggestions, the conclusion was that I would pick Holly up near her apartment and we'd go to a short-stay not too far away. She assures me that we'll have a great time, and she'll make it worth the hassle. Non-VIPs, YMMV. VIPs read on.
