Any Muscovite MeFites out there willing to help a traveling fellow MeFite with 1 night of lodging and some sightseeing?

I am going to be in Moscow for 1 day, arriving the evening of Friday March 23 and departing the evening of Saturday March 24. I will put something on couchsurfing.com, but I wanted to try here first. In exchange I'm willing to bring whatever legal things you want/need from the U.S. and will buy you dinner and forever be grateful OR if you know of someone who rents out rooms, I'd be willing to pay as well. I am a late 20s American graduate student with some Russian (I do know Armenian and Azerbaijani though!)

My contact information is in the profile if you want to take this private.

Looks like either a Moscow Meetup or a super hot date, your choice.

OK, now I'm jealous.

LH, you took on Georgian - you deserve a prize for that. I have 0 interest in taking on such a challenge.

I emailed an Italian friend there to see if she'd put you up, but it's a no-go (she'll be gone). Poke around expat.ru, it's a much better forum than couchsurfing, when you're talking about Moscow.

Seriously Languagehat, Georgian is the only language I know of that shows up as boxes on OS X, even with the full language support installed.

blasdelf, that's for your own protection.
