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!!

Agreements Idea
Hello Everybody!
I had an idea the other day about something that will help set the right expectations for everyone living in the house, especially those who will be coming into it from here on out. These are called "Agreements" and will be signed by everyone in the house, preferably before signing the lease. The idea runs along the lines of the paperwork everyone fills out when starting a new job. If you've ever read them before, they really just state the obvious and not so obvious things that should be understood entering that place of business. Our situation, of course, is going to be much less formal. However, they ought to be held with the same respect as those types of documents. The Agreements will be a solid foundation for this place to grow on. Also, it will give clear boundaries so it is obvious when someone is not pulling their weight in whatever area. I came up with a whole bunch of ideas. Please give feedback on which of these we should develop. Also, if you think of any - do tell. These will always be up for debate and new versions can be hammered out and resigned at any time. For some of them, it will be nice to have them posted in the space that it pertains to (Kitchen Cleanliness Agreement hanging on a wall in the kitchen).
Overall Cleanliness Agreement: Very general guidelines about what is expected overall. An example of an item in this agreement could be take your shoes off when you walk in.
Kitchen Cleanliness Agreement: Dishes rules, fridge rules, mopping rotation, trash rules, etc. . .
Studio Cleanliness Agreement: Where cables/microphones should go, food/smoking rules, how the place should be organized.
Bathroom Cleanliness Agreement: No poop on the walls.
Rent/Utilities Agreement: Have rent in the account by the 25th of the month before and utilities in by the 15th of the current month or something.
Communal Kitchen Agreement: What function will it serve? How will it be sustained? What the heck is it?
Snow Removal Rotation Agreement: umm, what it says.
Trash Removal Rotation Agreement: I think I've made my point.
A big big big one that I would like to find some legal advice about is an Intellectual Property Agreement. We need to have some general rules so we don't get fucked over by digital rights management and/or copyright laws.
Any ideas? Comments? Concerns?
