2/28/26 11:09pm This is a working document for my vision for the house. How would I like things to be around here?

I would like to have guests. It’s currently me and Oscar the dog. There’s one roommate who has been here since October, and someone who is planning to move in tomorrow. It is an intentional community situation. I am trying to communicate as best I can, and I think this writing is a process I use to develop my own creative projects.

In the living room there are 2 pianos and an organ. There’s 5 guitars and basses on the wall and several amps. We can play music, but Oscar might not like it. He doesn’t like it. He whines when I play the piano. It takes the joy out of the room. The passion. How am I feeling? How can the instruments help me to figure that out? Can I really feel into myself with roommates around? I feel so much better at home alone. But what if someone did build a yurt in the back? How can I invite a lot of people into the art project of this house? It is an Art Shanty. It is a refuge away from the potency of Powderhorn Park where there was a massive art project today. They filled the park with masses of people who sang together. Let’s get people singing at baseball games.

12:04am I played the piano for a bit. What would I have played if I went to the piano at the movie night party? I wasn’t feeling inclined to shift the mood of the party, but when I opened my bag at home I pulled out Les Mis and started singing Stars and Do You Hear the People Sing. It’s not very technically accurate, but I play the chords with the bass and sing a long and I have a lot of fun with it. It creates my own style. It is unique. I played Colors of the Wind for the movie about indigenous wisdom and the problems of colonial culture. Someone was talking about Leviathan. My specific skill with doing this complicated thing in an expressive and authentic way. I am an artist. And I am starting to get more used to the idea of asking for the attention of a room. Or in this case a reading audience. So thank you for hanging in. I am a rambling man.

I want people to sing together and to talk about their feelings. I would like to host MBSGs in the living room. 2 hours a day on Mondays or Wednesdays. We have guests. We have shows. We have open mics and song circles. It generates an income for me. Music lessons with Splash at the house. We are going to raise the vibration of the house.
