We cook together, clean together, and make all house decisions by consensus. There’s art on every wall, instruments everywhere, and spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen. Our pantry yells if you leave it open, there’s a three-story firepole right above our slide, and our rooms have bizarre names.
There is no “typical pikan”. We have a wide array of interests and personalities. But if you want a place that is weird and wonderful, that loves roasting vegetables, that’s sex positive and queer friendly, independent and thrifty, artsy and nifty, we might be the place for you.
We are a continuing experiment in cooperative living.
