The people who live in the house are all okay, thank goodness. (Single mom, three kids, a dog -- one thing about the fire is that I finally learned who actually lived there and who was just part of the constant stream of guests.) I haven't seen them since the night of the fire; they've been staying with a friend, I believe. I think they lost a lot of things -- I know the living room which is where the fire started, is stripped down to studs -- and I'm not sure when or if they'll be coming back. But at least they're all uninjured. :/

And yeah, it totally was the YOU GOTTA REMEMBER WHO FUCKIN LOVES YOU MAN family! I will really kind of miss them.
