It makes no sense moving Sudo into another room at 2141 as long as it is
govern by George. We need to relocate Sudo. I will be looking at locations
along the Bart transit stops.Please Repeat

In complete agreement that Sudo cannot survive 2141 broadway. I would also
like to bring to the table the idea that we have two issues: 2141 and
finding a new space. I don't think leaving 2141 needs to be contingent on
finding somthing new. Events can be spread across different venues while
sudo members focus on finding a perminent space. We could even rent a
smaller room in 2141 while this happends.
Just putting it out there...

Sorry for being slow in documenting this, but the community deserves
to know that this happened.
Sometime on Friday night, the men's
bathroom was vandalized. I feel
confident that it was an art-murmur
walk-in, but there is no way to
know for sure. They spread human feces
along the walls creating what
appeared to be two swastika shapes - not
entirely faithful renditions
but enough to reasonably perceive
swastikas in them.
I learned of this when I came to set up my
TIL Saturday around noon.
Our landlord George showed it to me. He
was understandably upset, both
about having to clean up the mess and also
about the symbolism. His
father is Jewish. He wondered if he had
been targeted. I also was not
happy, as a queer Jew with many family
members in Yad Vashem.
Unfortunately, this caused him to descend
into another tirade in which
nobody was spared. He assumed right away
it was done by a Sudoroom
member. There was a clear path of
association that went: Sudoroom ->
anarchists -> Nazis. At one point he
even suggested that a kid from
Sudo Kids had "come back to finish
the job". But mostly he accused
Sudo members. Since I was representing
Sudoroom in this conversation,
he ended up addressing me over and over as
if I was personally
responsible for this swastika, as if I had
done it myself. I actually
found this to be the most traumatic part
of the whole event. Not even
offensive, just downright traumatic.
There was the usual fare of yelling about
money and society and his
inability to find good tenants. He twice
informed me that he was
evicting both Sudoroom and the Public
School and that Laurie would
prepare a 30 days notice. He's said
that before. He told me that
Sudoroom and Public School should close
their doors for the rest of
the day, because "If I see any of
them, I will beat them up!" I told
him I'm sorry, but I have a Linux
class scheduled for 2:00, please
don't beat them up. That calmed him
down a little. In short, the rant
was a mix of old and new.
Except this time Laurie was there. Laurie
is our other landlord - she
is George's wife and they own the
building equally. The way he talked
to her during this rant was very
revealing, because she also became a
target. He yelled at her for not having a
30-days notice already
prepared, for having written the
craigslist ads that attracted
Sudoroom and Public School (and,
incidentally, many of his other
tenants). He said quite hurtful things to
her, including that she was
nothing but a drain on his life and that
he wanted a divorce from her.
She just stood there quietly saying
nothing, holding their dog on a
leash, looking at me with eyes that said
"I'm sorry you have to see
this." After a while, when George
left the room, she apologized to me.
She said "please don't listen to
anything he said, he just gets that
way when his buttons are pushed."
They ended up not leaving for a couple
hours. Initially George refused
to clean the bathroom or let anybody else
clean it because he wanted
to show evidence to the cops, who he
believed would show up to
investigate. It took a chorus of Laurie
and several of his other
tenants to convince him that OPD
doesn't show up for things like this,
the cops aren't coming, the bathroom
smells, please let's just clean
it up. Eventually he lost steam and they
left.
I'm not really sure how to wrap up
this email. Writing it was
difficult. You will have to draw your own
conclusions.
