Meeting notes–7/31/07
Better late than never… here are the meeting notes from last Tuesday:
Cook: Leilani and Chris Facilitator: Carrie
TRASH
One more 60-gallon can for trash? Used to have four, then three. Third one went missing–hard time handling volume.
Cost: $10/mth 6mths minimum
–> Okay by assembled group
–> Okay by treasurer Peter.
PARTY
Andrew says “yay!” and thanks.
FRIDGE
Proposal to claim/maintain personal fridge spaces for each; COM shelf okay for personal labeled food also
Note made: there are always exceptions–ie beer for party took up available space
Note made: please don’t save too much bread in freezer.
LOCKING DOORS
Event related where unknown party-goer returned day after party–uninvited. Came in and spent time, then tried to steal Jimi’s guitar. So PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Please respect others’ concern for safety.
SHOW
August 24th Friday at the Ford theater in Hollywood … 8pm show … group outing planned! Give $5 to Patricia for a ticket if you are interested.
VISITOR
Andrew will have friend Nathaniel here for one week as of Monday [note: Nathaniel has arrived as of Monday]
LEILANI MOVE
Given Isaac’s return in August, Tomas has the right to the corner room in which Leilani has been staying. Leilani therefore suggests to room up with Chris
Would then have 14 roommates
Concern made about overcrowding
Andrew notes there is 50/50 chance of moving out in October
Concern made about livability of room for both roommates
Suggestion made of trial period. No strong objections to proposal.
ANTS
Ants came to honey in pantry. Please close bags of food, clean honey bottles
No sweets or honey bottles means the ants will leave on their own.
BUGS
Midnite Mosquito Assault awaking Peter from slumber
Pond of Gary maintained but figured to still harbor ’skeeters.
–>Screens on windows seen as solution–replace screen material if frame is still there
–>Drain pond until screen solution is achieved
–>Clay volunteers to patch defective screens
–>Side note: Patricia’s father Bill will be by before the end of August for window/doors repairs and upgrades discussed previously
WEB STUFF
Peter proposes a PUBLIC SITE/BLOG and a PRIVATE SITE/BLOG
Public for anyone on internet, private for house members/out-of-house friends
Thoughts, ideas, suggestions welcome
–> Sounds good to assembled group
Peter must implement (Login for private) (Mtg Notes area etc) (Threads for conversations ie maintenance of fly screens)
RENT
Peter will turn in Wednesday
Who can deliver? -Leilani volunteers
Clay asks if amount at bottom of spreadsheet includes $50 utilities–Yes it does says Peter.
KILLRADIO)))
Booth for Sunset Junction around our house requested by KillRadio internet radio
Suggested locations: front walk or front of driveway
Issue revisited from last meeting for benefit of Tomas & others not present before
Discussion about allowing ourselves space for our own activities/selling our wares. Front of driveway gains preference as an idea. Sidewalk for KillRadio might still be an option for them.
CAT NAMED KODA
Will house pay for vet and food?
Clay would contribute to vet bill–not as part of house budget
Food for birds from house funds, cat food should be okay, vet a different affair
Note made: For future reference, cat to be voted in more consciously
Tomas not asked about cat please include his opinion. Does not want to have cat but willing to suffer its presence as an outdoor cat.
Clay has Golden Girls episode for Tomas to watch
Note made Mee approves presence of cat
Agreement to post feeding checklist for cat to any to feed without overfeeding or underfeeding poor kitty
CARPET
Patricia & Luigi Removing carpet starting saturday. There may be stuff placed in hallway during refinish
Peter asks for noisy work (furniture into hallway) to happen later in morning
TOMAS says (having arrived after Andrew’s comment)
Party had great energy, great cleanup pre- and post. Therefore, why not have more good entertainment.
Note made: party also paid for itself (all food/drink, except for snickerdoodles)
Note made: bowl for smoking dropped in Vegan nogg–uh-oh
Note made: Santa will be at next party regardless of theme
VISITOR #2
Nicholas, brother of Tomas, 19 yr old punk-rocker, staying as guest in Tomas’ room.
On off for 2 weeks as of August 8. Moving to LA to study at Musician’s institute.
–>Assembled group is psyched.
CHECK OUT
Favorite moment of party?
Carrie: finding her cell phone battery the next morning after chucking the phone
Luigi: when snickerdoodles were all gone–he was then safe from excesses of snickerdoodles
Patti: when Tristan cusses at party-goers telling them to return to dance floor from wherever they may be
Ashira: dancing with sta-puff kid (& that foxy girl Kat)
Jimi: Taking pictures–especially that one where Ashira looks possessed.
Andrew: IE’s musical set
Clay: When Taylor skates up and opens the gate for him
Leilani: When girls leaving party come back feeling threatened by loiterers, and start practicing their kung-fu
