WANTED: SF/Bay Area yoga teachers to teach Punk Rock Yoga: http://www.punkrockyoga.com/world_domination/index.php

West End Commons

Thu, 07 Apr 2005 20:53:55 GMT

Just a little bit of a concern here.
When West End Commons starts populating,
Will NIMBY parties be a thing of the past?
I'm just afraid that when young families start moving into a gated community, that there is going to be friction with those among us who are a little more uh, freaky. I can definitely see how the parents of young children might react poorly to oh, for instance, the EBR Fight Night.

For that matter, is there anyone other than NIMBY that's too close to his hideous development, and might be pressured to be less loud or weird?

What to we do to make sure we keep the right to be loud and weird?

Oakland warehouse needs Carpentry!

Matt — Wed, 16 Mar 2005 19:51:32 GMT

We have an amazing 18,000 square foot warehouse in West Oakland - full of musicians, artists, activists and generally good people. It's a resurrected space with a new crew of people. Beautiful building, with space for several small businesses (Cafe/bookstore), recording studio, several performance spaces and much more.

WE NEED A CARPENTER / HANDYPERSON.

We are looking for a solid carpenter to help us build out a few more spaces. We can do basic finishing work, but we want to do stuff right - and build to code. Nothing super-major - but we have a single-room loft space we want to create, and a couple walls framed. We *could* do this ourselves - but we don't have much collective experience in this - and like I said - we want it done right.

So we need someone who is:

-experienced with framing
-has tools (we have some)
-knows basic building code issues and can try to keep close to them
-communicative and gets along with people
-doesn't have drug issues
-is resourceful
-is responsible, and can work with us

We don't have much money currently - so ideally - we would love to find someone cool who wants to live here and be a part of our community as well - and will build themselves a room. Details can be worked out - but we are very interested in work/trade in exchange for rent.

If you are interested, or know of anyone who might be - drop us a line with some info about yourself. Your skills, your background, what you are into etc....

AGAIN - we want someone who is a good fit for the building. Musicians, artists, activists - no drama, no hard drugs, no flakes.

Hunter S

Organizizer — Wed, 23 Feb 2005 07:53:45 GMT

in salute of Hunter S, that glorious bastard who left the building this week, LaunchPad is showing Fear and Loathing (Directors cut) tomorrow night (wednesday th 22) at 7:30 pm (free). Theres definitely no question that we'll have the projector up and running in time, don't listen to what anybody else says. Definitely no later than 8. theres definitely no possibility that we might end up in a huge pile inside watching it on a big TV, because its definitely not going to rain and the projectors definitely going to be there. bring your suitcase.

Who loves west O and wants to stay?

not-interested — Sun, 18 Apr 2004 23:27:44 GMT

Hey everyone. SO, I am feeling frsutrated right now, as I just heard about some kids in a warehouse on Market who are having an eviction fight. I keep hearing about stuff like this. I have also heard that there's an association of people in West O who work on these issues and have meetings. If anyone knows anything about that, please message me and give me info. If I can't find them, I'm going to organize a meeting in the next couple of weeks to talk about the Nuisance Eviction ordinance, and other important stuff that I think everyone should know about. I'll keep everyone posted. Feel free to message me about any of this stuff. I think it's time to be informed, ya know!
