Organization: Fandom House


A three story house in Somerville currently has two spaces
available, one on the first floor, and one on the third floor, for
suitably residentially challenged persons.  The room on the first 
floor is 14' x 10.5' (147 sq. ft.), right next to a bathroom (to gain
that added advantage in the morning), has two windows, and 3 outlets
(newly installed).  It is in the part of the house that was renovated
last summer, so everything is fairly new-looking.  The room on the
third floor is larger, roughly 159 sq. ft. (the layout is rather odd). 

The first floor has a kitchen, a washer & dryer, fridge, and
living/dining room.  The first floor is also 99.44% cat free (the .66%
is when some bonehead leaves appropriate kitty airlocks open for cats
to escape, but are usually apprehended promptly).  However, should you
like cats (which is a desired, but not required, trait) there are two
wonderful cats to visit upstairs (some would disagree, about the same
wouldn't [disagree]) 

The third floor has three bedrooms, and the house Hack Room, which
currently houses 6 Suns, a 14 foot table, and various other electronic
equipment.  All three floors share the same lease, and the same
(pretty much) free space.  The main living room is on the second
floor, although there is a small living room on the first floor.  The
third floor is also pretty much cat-free.  The only floor on which the
cats habitate is the second.

The area, is Somerville.  Basically right between Davis and Union
Squares, on Albion Street which is a hop skip and jump from Highland
Avenue.  The house is recessed from the street, so we don't get too
many streetwise interruptions (cars, kids, etc), although there is the
commuter rail tracks about 200 feet behind the house, but the trains
don't usually pose a problem, in fact, they are usually quite soothing
(at least *I* think so).  There is off street parking for 5 cars, of
which there is no set space.  First come first serve.  The house is
currently wired for 5 phone lines, two of which are privately owned.

The rent is currently $2000/month, which includes only water.  We pay
for oil, gas, and electricity.  The total rent is divided evenly by
the # of residents, currently 7.

The current residents are : Ted Beatie, Rich Macchi, Andrew Kaufman,
Mark Lefebvre, Craig Lennox, Diane Reamy, Rick Schneider, Merlin, and
Morgaine.  As a house, we are friendly people, and generally very
open.  On Tuesday nights, people descend upon our house for
discussions and food.

If you're interested, if even vaguely, send mail to
fandom-fusion@panthers.ftp.com, or simply reply, and it will get
passed around to everyone here. 

If you want to stop by, Tuesday nights are perfect for that.  Again,
if interested, the above statement follows, and directions can be
forwarded to you.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program, Lumpy's
Proletariat.
