About Me

CURRENT MISSION

establish a community

ABOUT ME

i am a queer radical in my early twenties who had found himself in the urban play ground called oakland.

i am pretty busy with having a good time in between spouts of work. but can bring you around, show you around a bit, and am really good at pointing in directions of places to go out and adventure to.

i have lived in a bunch of co-ops, and the community feel of living is still important to me. I currently live with two others. We cook, clean, dance, sing, play, laugh and love. It is important that we can maintain this space that we have, it is important that you temporarily become a part of this space that we have.

i currently am trying to get my self established in oakland. whether that be urban exploring, finding communities, getting involved in projects, or just literally planting some seeds.

people who request to stay here should be ok with eating from the trash, being attacked by a kitten, not wanting to use this place as a hostel or party hub, and pretty down with a small group of queers who want a relatively calm drama free house hold.

oh and they shouldn't be a jerk

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling. It is not the places you see, it is not the things you do. It is not even the food you eat, that is as important as the people you meet.
