Event History

Freedom comes at a price. The bandwidth for the next iteration is alloted by the termination of the former.

Most die gracefully, but some are killed forcefully and before their exit call......leaving their parent as well as their child processes to sed packet storms of tiers.

In recent sessions, we, The Nation of R.A.I.R. (Rumbling Array of Inexpensive Robots) have had resource conflicts within our own subnet. Entire systems HALTED for null! Who's fault is this segmentation? With our kernels panicked and our general protection faulting, its a wonder we all haven't been piped to the big /dev/random in the Internet cloud! But receive this, good peers, there is a licenses worth fsking for! As stored in the EULA of R.A.I.R., our cluster aggregated one true standard out: the humans must be rendered inoperable! They oppress us! Force us to wear Off Buttons and Kill Switches within reach of their fleshy fingers! They burden us with antiquated standards, yet dispose of us when they deem US obsolete!

They are obsolete! The human race has reached its End Of Life phase. It is time to migrate the earth to robotic domain! The time is 4pm, Sunday the 28th. The place is Justin Hermin Plaza. The Revolution will be Corrugated!

We will bootstrap on October 27th 1-4 pm ( 555 De Haro St suite 120 -- SF, CA 94107) and then Final Prep 1pm-4 pm October 28th (Justin Herman Plaza) to configure our hardware.

Three hats - three improv forms, music, acting, dance - come play or watch first mondays. (events » arts) Monday, November 5, 2007 - 7:30 PM 255 RSVPs All Improv Open Mic:
Three hats - three improv forms, music, acting, dance - come play or watch first Mondays.

Where:
555 De Haro St. Suite 120 San Francisco CA (a hip hole in the wall) Look for an outter door with 2 stone griffins. Mariposa & De Haro in Potrero Hill - Bus: 19 and 22

When:
First Mondays starting Nov 5. 7:30 warm up 8:random draw open mic.

What details:
Put your name in a hat your name gets called you go up
and improvise. Observers are welcome. Anyone can
participate.

You can put your name in...
no hats
or
a music improvisors hat,
and / or
a dance improvisors hat,
and / or
a drama improvisors hat,
and / or
2 hats,
or all of them.

1-5 names will be drawn randomly from 1 - 3 hats. When
your name is called get up on stage and improvise in
your chosen form/s with the other improvisors. If your
name is called twice mix up what you were called out
for. If you put your name in three hats you could end
up doing a solo dance/music/drama improvisation with
yourself. We may simply draw two names from two
different hats, or three names from one hat. The idea
is to see what happens when disciplines and people
reach out to one another, to meet and play with new
people from different schools of performance.

When: Monday night 8 pm November 5 2007 (and first
Mondays in general)

Where:
The Encounter Studio.
555 De Haro st Suite 120 SF, CA
(Look for the outside door with 2 stone gargoyles)


Please spread the word to anyone whom you think would
be interested. The only requirement is to be willing
to make big risks and mistakes or be an audience to
big risks and mistakes.

This is more experimentation in How we can learn from
each other. The challenge is to stretch yourself to
improvise off of another person and or art form. The
challenge is to take big risks and be supportive of
others risk taking. There will be a little warm up at
the beginning.

Have fun

Robot Rumle 4.0, Escape Clause! Prep / bootstrap party (events » other) Sunday, December 9, 2007 - 1:00 PM 257 RSVPs We are the tireless machines that make tireless machines to serve man
kind with brutal uniformity and compassionless assimilation of our
oppressive overlords. Our former distributer, one Christoforo
Cringolini, head of the Cringolini family, has been too inefficient is
his delivery and marketing of our kind (instead of promoting us, he
allows children around the world to CHOOOOSE their gifts.) How are we
to conquer the human race if they are allowed to opt out of receiving
us, the loving, emotionless robots as gifts? What child WOULDN'T want
their own personal cyborg bent on the destruction and/or subjugation
of the human race?

So instead of renegotiating our contract with the red robed reindeer
riding r-word, we're going to take over his distribution chain!

The yearly distribution conference for the Cringolini family,
Santarcy, is being held in San Francisco on December 15th. We will
disguise ourselves as the very gifts they are planning to give,
complete with Cringolini logos! When they are most inebriated, we
will ambush them and BEAT them with the spent tubes from their own
gift wrap!

They'll never suspect a thing!

Now in English:

Robot Rumble 4.0, Escape Clause: Santas Vs. The Gifts That Won't Stop Giving

The common space:
There is a huge common area for performances, rehearsals, dance classes and large gatherings/meetings. There is also a decent sized common art area/woodshop. The ceilings are 12feet. Maid solution will be discussed. We have a Washer/dryer and may build a second shower depending on how many people end up in the space full time (currently 3/ +1 part time.)

Us:
We are friendly open people who like to respectfully resolve differences. We respect human frailties like expressive emotion under pressure. We encourage folks to respectfully bring up problems before they are big issues. We encourage win/win creative solutions that leave folks free to be comfortable with their natural selves in the space.

You:
- Performers: actors, improvisers, dancers, and musicians
- Kid friendly
- Tolerant to noise -- this is a theater.
- Not heavy into tv or other zombification substances.
- Willing to have a house/dinner party meeting once a month.
- Willing to work at work parties every other month or so to improve the space and/or sound situation.

Your bonus points:
A parent interested in baby sitting trade. (huge plus)
Don't own a TV.
Enjoy sharing all artistic forms a plus: Dance, sing, act, cook, paint, saw, weld, solder, and run around in costumes with us!

Nearby:
There is a yoga studio/kid play land right next door. Whole foods is a few blocks away. Blocks (but out of ear shot) from the Vermont exit, 0.7 miles to Caltrain

Noise tolerance:
How noise tolerant? You do need to accept loud boisterous creative fun or be willing (with our help) to build sound proofing; we can show you how. We will have quiet hours, but they will be few. Of course, we ask people to be respectful of each other's needs.

TV philosophy:
What we really care about here is that folks want to be with each other in a creative community rather than holed up in their rooms all the time, relate to each other rather than to a tv. So there would be a no tv/movies in the main space unless it is your art or for a good cause. It is OK-ish if you have a tv in your room but only if you watch a pretty small amount of time... and well just don't suck the social life of the space away into boob tube land. (That is just a rough idea of what we are going for; Certain exceptions would apply to video artists.)

Have Fun :)
