Ed

beethoven manager.
a screenplay writer, a director-to-be, an insane extension of allen, he started the contagious mental decomposition of making up insane settings for the reception area (go to james and becca).
ed got REALLY desperate, trying to hit on any of the millions of girls staying at beethoven which usually resulted in them being set on fire ;-)
i hope he finally did get a date...
i reckon he might become another lynch one day.

Gerard the kiwi

gerard hangs his babies on the wall. every other day he takes one of them down only to ride it recklessly.
the most extreme case of 'men and their toys' disease. deeply in love with his bicycle harem.
continously trying to capture life in photos.
the most freckled person i've ever known.
a good catholic boy with a flare for mischief ;-)

James and Becca

a kiwi-irish couple that became long term beethoven residents
becca - a dangerous frown master, should not be approached when packing bags at new world supermarket, her curiosity led to a traumatic discovery that yes, girls DO pee in the shower
james - a dubliner with a wicked sense of humour, a music star-to-be, good at moronic imitations, a generous subway worker
both immensely involved in hostel life by personal contrubution to the reception area - one of them being 'godfather'-like scene with a choir hidden in the cabinet murmuring theme song

Jane, Mika, Allan and mika's car

a foursome? or a twosome with an extension?
jane - an avocado alergic addict (rabies style swelling and ...) with a party trauma and an imaginative haircut. reigned over the biggest wine glass in beethoven house.
mika - the german girl in love.
allan - the one with smelly feet, the terrace conversations companion - willingly answering my ridiculous questions
the car - a miraculously revived wreck that somehow managed to take them as far as wellington with a few 'blackouts'
