we've opened our livingrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, closets, piles of free shit & undies to so many of u & now we need some love. real love, some we need the hook up type love. in three years we've been through so much and things are looking bleak. we've seen more cops, real estate agents, evictions, hip white kids, and gentrifying soulless businesses in our neighborhood than ever before. still, just like the ever-present tacos in the kitchen of lowercase & colton harris moore, we can't stop, we won't stop. join our twitter, facebook friend us (u know u have one), check out our list and give us the hook up. lets get occupied! squat the planet!
