Laptronica cage match footage
As we regroup and reconvene for the future of Lumpen our entire video archive has been dumped on the floor and we are now uploading great footage. Big man found Laptronica videos produced by Bruner and Bay back in the good old days of fresh mayhem. Our goal is to re-introduce this awesome series of events.

My dream of performing in an eighties new wave cover band has been fulfilled. We played our first show at Sonotheque July 22 with Bobby Conn. Rachael took a pic.

Just Squatted Home Welcoming Kit
Put together a suitcase kit that can be used to squat homes. The kit was part of the Get It Together Show at C-PS. Flickr images of the show are here. Pamphlets and fliers describe how to squat abandoned property and also how to use the tools in the kit. Conceptualy it’s nice but i think i need to execute it better.

Reuben Kincaid Realty
I have been conducting additional research for re-housing strategies and squatting for the Reuben Kincaid Realty Project.
Mortgage Squatting, Home Defender, and community housing re-development projects like Giroscope and Empty Homes seem to be the most interesting and less controversial forms of squatting that might appeal to Americans. It seems that I might create guidelines for squatters to occupy homes (primarily foreclosed homes) and publish it in order to give some very local tips and strategies to pull it off in say, a neighborhood like Bridgeport.
In the meantime I will be working in a Just Squatted Home Welcoming Kit for the upcoming Get It Together show at our space this July 24.
