What does intentional cooperative living mean to you?
8-9 pm
What matters to you in a community? If you were to design a utopia, what would it look like? How can our community be most ethical under capitalism? How can a collective living group design structures that deconstruct sources of organized oppression? Let's have brainstorming dialogue, and build towards our experiment in cooperative living! Everybody welcome!

We gather folk who have been here for A Long Time to tell the House Lore to new folk so that we don't forget our stories. Come learn about the ghost of the Jill braid, the Murph Story (very true), and about the tree house that the city made us take down (sad)

Aliens Among Us! :o
8-9 pm
Everyone is a member of a spaceship crew, but some subset of the players are aliens disguised as your shipmates and you have to figure out who the aliens are and boot them off the ship before they kill everyone and take over. There’s a lot of s*** talking and finger pointing. It’s a great time 😝
