Massive Exchange

my name is josefina and i'm a housemate and friend of caity fares - who pointed me in your direction. there are two reasons i'm contacting you, both of them are centered around that fact that you live at the paul sweet house (i think!). ;)

my first inquiry - i'm helping blackbird raum (a local anarchist folk punk band) book their cd release show the second weekend of october. they are totally rad and have played with bands such as leftover crack, star fucking hipsters, and this bike is a pipe bomb. here's their myspace:

my connection with them is that i book a lot of diy punk and acoustic shows here in santa cruz and have booked them numerous shows in the past - most of my shows have happened at zami co-op (where i live) but i've also thrown shows at the bikechurch, the subrosa infoshop, the pacific cultural center and various other locations and houses around town. the show would probably be about 4 hours long. we think it would be totally AWESOME to have it at paul sweet house and i promise that after the show your house will look better then it did before cuz i am an after-show-clean-up-goddess. ;)

another band that we might have on the bill would be koalacaust, who are also totally awesome.

the second reason i'm contacting you is because i was wondering if it would be possible for me to park a bus on your property! i have access to a 30 ft. long bus (shorter then a 40 ft. school bus), and would like to live in it. i need a place to park it off of residential streets so that i don't need to move it every few days in accordance with local parking laws, and hopefully have access to a bathroom and kitchen. caity mentioned that i should contact you because that might be a possibility where you live. i am willing to pay $100 a month, plus utilities, and of course regular house chores. i am also willing to do types of work trade, such as make sure you have the most beautiful vegetable garden in town, the most immaculately clean bathrooms and the most raging shows and parties (if you're house is into it, of course). of course, all of these things are negotiable.

how do these proposals sound to you? i would really love to talk to you over the phone, preferably in person, as well as i am more then willing to attend a house meeting if you all do that to talk more about either subject and address any questions or concerns.

i am totally awesome! i throw the best shows and am a super fun and responsible housemate!

yes!

ok, hope this message finds you well and isn't too overwhelming. please write me back or, preferably, call my cell phone at: 831-345-6907. if i don't hear from you in a few days i will probably give you a call.

thanx for reading!

best . . . josefina :)
