whoa spaced out there...yeah it's been a while! early DEC sound good?
I've been doing alot of scheming but near zero construction. I think
it'd be cool to actually build something, like a 4'x4'x8'
sleeping/storage module simple enough that 5-10 people could make a
prototype in a weekend.

Hello Tiny House Crew!
What's the latest on the Tiny House Caucus and Shelter planning for an East Bay Tiny
House village/trailer park.
I'm looking to get a tiny house soon and want to see where others are at and if we
have any movement that I've missed out on over the summer.
I'd love to get a meeting together if others are interested. Looks like the East Bay
Tiny House meetup group has one scheduled for December 21st, but another one sooner and
less in conflict with holiday time would be great too!
Best,
Cris Shirley

organized a bit into whatever aspects of the tiny home movement they are most interested
in hacking on.

there's also a lot of potential to go beyond the sculptural practice of this guys work
given organizing networks and capacities of a place like sudo, not to mention the
temperate climate of the bay area. Could this conversation be worthy of some sort of
"Right to the City/Hack the City" working group? Would love to connecting with
others interested in developing this conversation..

rebirth of the encampment.
