Summer sublets
You can still sublet this room for two months: June and July. You get hardwood floors, four windows, beautiful light throughout the day, and the sound of birds in the morning.

I’m a foster dog. I lived in Woodlandia under the care of Ana for a couple of months. I loved it. We had dinners together. They took me for walks in all sorts of weird places. Eventually they found me a home.

Hello! My name is Sean. I really enjoy baking food, especially insane varieties of cookies like banana-apple-maple-agave-peanutbutter-chocochip. I also enjoy playing my saxophone and listening to jazz as I read.

Hey everyone! My name’s Meg. I enjoy small things like laughing, reading, biking, sunshine, taking cool pictures, bright colors, inspiring quotes, music and good, healthy food. I also enjoy big things like traveling, helping others and spending time with family and friends. My favorite part about the Coop is that it combines all of these things. Hopefully I’ll see you around!

(or Viva-I-Poll-Ova)
Last year I was not open to living with anyone much less with 4 people, or looking ahead, with 18 people. A summer in Romania with 13 others in a small house, followed by a month long trip living in a car with two people quickly changed my mind. Going back to my two bedroom house with a basement that I had to myself seemed bland and lonely, and I started the search for a...

2012-2013 Signing/Re-signing Dinners (Thurs, 3/29;...
Friends, Romans, Countrywomen,
At long last, we, the BCL sub-committee on Transalpine Unicorn Aquaculture (i.e. Membershipping and Recruitment), are in a position to begin signing for rooms for next year. Instead of one, central signing dinner/party (as we had previously planned, announced, and cancelled), we have decided to take a more distributed approach. Oh yes, read on!
If you are...

The Song of Karun and Coleson
The Song of Karun and Coleson:
On the eve of the day of leaping,
in the year of unbeginning,
at the hour of greatest need,
when their people did pine for sweetness
like a tribe lost,
longing for a dessert oasis
Karun and Coleson heard the unspoken words,
the hearts’ inner-most longings of their people,
providing crepes of golden spectra,
bathed in creamed ice, of sweetest...

For the ant Temnothorax curvispinosus, house-moving is one of the most challenging tasks its colony faces.
Its future success depends on finding a home that offers the right physical environment. At the same time, choosiness must be balanced with speed. In most cases, consensus must be reached among hundreds or thousands of individuals, lest the colony should divide among multiple sites to the...

I’m currently studying library science and Latin America. I joined the co-op because I love all things gezellig. Every few months, I dash off to New York to visit a very special someone. I like to travel, but I also like staying home. Sometimes I wonder how I end up where I do. For example, the time a Mexican clown juggled machetes over my face.
Song of the Oldefather
Jeroem son of Jeroem braved the night, defied sleep and cold, as the
cold itself defied this unseasonal second moon of the days of his
father’s children. He returned from the dark with pizza for his clan,
each taking their share.
His deeds this day will be remembered in song, and in the sacrifices
of his people. The thirteenth share will be set aside in honor of the

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.
