House Meeting 2 Topics

So if I remember correctly, Shawn is going to be in the city very soon. You know what that means. . . House Meeting!

Let's brainstorm some topics to cover. Big ones I'll throw out there right away:

Possible Tenants - the list is growing. I don't think they should be there because we still haven't discussed what we need out of the next two people. However, we must address this topic as (surprisingly) these people are getting antsy about it.

Deposits: I like the system we've got setup. Should we keep going with this or is there any other options that could be better?

Bank Account: What bank should it be with? BoA would be convenient (transfers internally work smoothly), but my dad can get a sweet account with Cambridge Savings because they have a business deal with his school. We'd probably all get ATM cards that will be free at any ATM. I'm getting a bit faclempt - discuss amongst yourselves. Bank of America is neither a real bank nor is it America. There, I'm better now.

The House's Websites: I think we should have an internal site (the one I started building) and a public site (the one Shawn began).

Business we can do without the house: I did an onsite recording session the other day. What else can we do that we don't need to have the house for?

The renovations: We need to picture the best space possible so we have a proposal to give to Lynell. I'd like to get Jim Anderson and Leon Janikian over there to consult us.

Non-profit status/Business Certificate: Start saving your receipts!! 2009 will be a year of writing off a lot of things towards the business. We need to set our goals for this stuff. I'd like to have the non-profit status process underway when we move in. It would be awesome if our "Fundraiser Gala's" would be tax write-off keggers for all!

(Speaking of which) The Pig Roast Fundraiser: This will be a couple weeks into living there, so not a topic we need to discuss right away. Good to think about though.

A few small topics: Should we keep that hutch in the dining room? When should we expect to start contributing $50 a month to the house account? How big is Brian's left big toe anyway?

Feedback!! Participation!! (Insert motivational shit here)!! Please! Thank you! Take it easy!

deposits and possible housemates

Hello all!

I don't know if everyone got my email about the deposits. We have a few more days to get our stuff in order. I am suggesting that shawn, justin and I should split the $600 each month for the next few. This will probably be the best way to make sure we can all handle the payments and get them in on time.

On a separate note, there are a couple people who are interested in the house.

First, rob seabeck: good friend of brian, justin, and Eli. Music technonogy senior. Plays guitar, composes, head of the music tech club at northeastern, and does max/msp as well as many other sweet things. He is super emphatic about the concept. I believe he is near 90% sure he would move in.

Second, Maxwell Hockstead: currently lives at 76 Hyde park ave. Landscaper by day, drum and bass dj by night. Attempting a similar operation in Framingham and is interested in what this place in Allston may mean for him. I think he's around 50% sure he'd like to move in.

There are a couple people I know who have expressed interest in the place. Though these people are not able to see that far into their schedules. We should all update this with comments.

Peace brosky's!!

Eli
