THE SITUATION:
The amazing Piedmont home I am in is being sold in a messy divorce. The
owner is wonderful,however her divorce is now calling for her to sell her
million dollar home so her husband can be paid his half of the equity. When
I first moved in it seemed the divorce was dragging but I never thought he
would force her and his 9 year old daughter out of this wonderful Piedmont
neighborhood! I have never met him (they were divorcing before I arrived)
but I will say I am not fond of this. …
[View More]So because of this and this reason
ONLY I am now thrust on SF Bay Area housing market.
I just found this out YESTERDAY
and I have to MOVE BY APRIL 1 (WTW!) A week!
ANYWAY
Wanted to tap the Sudo Network to see if anyone knew of a room/space/etc or
knew someone who knew someone who know who I need to know!
Reply and I can send you info about me
A little insight
I AM the ideal Human Flatmate! I love making smoothies, I heart cupcakes,
love cooking vegan/vegetarian meals, love animals, non smoker, non drinker,
responsible, and I have tons of cool FREE perks to events! (The events are
only exciting if you are into tech/nerd/game stuff otherwise just control x
that last part)
If you can reach out to your networks! I would appreciate any direction or
hacking on this!
Thanks

Passing on a msg from Sudo's FB.. if anyone wants to take this up/on:
----
Hey y'all:
So this is a totally last min no expectations message. This is Sean
O'Brien. I have spoken with some folks from Sudo Room in the past when I
was part of The Holdout. Im also in a band called No Business. We had a
show with 2 touring bands planned for tomorrow (tues) night. 2 venues fell
through last min. We were going to say fuck it and play a generator show
but now its going to rain! ha! Anyways, just curious …
[View More]if a) y'all have
nothing going tomorrow night and b) if you would be into hosting an old
school punk show. If so, let me know and if not really no worries. Thanks!
Solidarity,
Sean

Thanks Jeremy for the Oakland Wiki shoutout!
Yar, the people who came to Sudo last night at the Anti-Eviction Mapping
Project data vis team. <https://antievictionmap.squarespace.com/> I'm in
direct contact with them and will forward the OW article along. They are
potentially interested in using LocalWiki (Oakland Wiki is a part of the LW
network) as a tool for collective storytelling and resource-sharing. We'll
be presenting to them next week. I can keep the list posted. ;]
Could we get the sudoroom front pages looking as clean as the omni front page? It's nice.. It presents a way cleaner message of what sr is etc
Sent from my iPhone
At this point there have been several informal calls for Xavier to be
banned. After last night's events I reluctantly agree that he should
not be welcome at Sudo until he's accountable for his behavior:
* he made threats of violence towards somebody at Sudo
* he did something similar at Rock Paper Scissors
* he zealously defended other acts of violence committed by a friend of his
I'm willing to act as a mediator, but I'm not confident that the
problem can be resolved.
So I formally propose …
[View More]that he be banned from our space for an
indefinite period. Are there any objections?

hey y'all,
recieved word from ian that the 22nd st keypad is 'disconnected' & no
access to upstairs this am..
we will try to open/remediate the situ in the next hr but -- fyi..
Dear Sudoroom, it's 10:40pm on a Friday.
Most of you are partying your ass off, and I love you for it.
Is anybody in possession of most of their brain? I have a little thing, and
I need a little feedback.
Got 15 minutes? I would so love to hear from you. Please reply if you are
not at the club.
-Pete
