Who: Beau AKA Helix
Age: 19
Where: Savannah, Georgia, USA
How many guests: One or two, you'd have to sleep on the floor on a blowup mattress though.
Smoking: Yep.
Weed and/or other drugs available: I'm usually a few phone calls away from whatever drugs you want, and one of my dealers lives at the other end of my building.
How much bassness (1-10, 10 best): Like a three, my roommate has a regular old logitech system, we can crank it up though
additional notes: I split a two-room apartment with my friend and his girlfriend, so space is tight and a little messy, but it's a very relaxed environment. Savannah's beautiful in the summer, although it smells like horse shit and people piss. There's a guy who used to work for waste management who wanders around my area screaming shit about trash cans, but he's harmless. I've got a lot of faggy art school friends, so don't expect much in the way of good music unless you like indie type stuff, then my friend Danny is the MAN. There's an amazing little restaurant across the street from my house, they'll treat you REAL good there.
