About me:

The Boing! Collective exists for the purpose of providing/reviving a sense of openness and community for those who may feel disenchanted or alienated from the society in which we live. We are here to spread political awareness, hopefully leading to action in some way or another, and to show that there IS another way to live outside of the impersonal and destructive (on so many levels) system that has been marketed to us from every angle since the day we were born. We are an open household of tightly knit friends who are dedicated to the all-encompassing struggle that a long history of fear and exploitation has and will continue to ensure we all experience. As such, we have given up many small personal comforts in order to provide comfort for anyone seeking it. .. ..

Who I'd like to meet:

Open minded people seeking knowledge and a new way.

    to whom it may concern the fact that you guys have stopped doing shows has put a damper on our local music scene  now i can understand the argument of neighbors and noise complaints and agree that a certain number of electric based shows is a bit excessive but for you guys to complete stop doing shows is ridiculous their are tons of cool bands that would love to come through here but since we have no venue space i always could of counted on boing. if it was for shows i wouldn't know what the hell boing house is and a know  a few others that feel the same way. i always hear the arguement that you guys wanna focus on communite events i couldnt think of a more community event then a show

    boing gave kids a place to enjoy many good bands and for you to take that privilige away is ludacris

    im not asking for a show every other day but once in awhile wouldnt hurt

    Last month, in Riverside Manufactured Home Community in West Valley City, two seniors, one a Korean War vet, were served with eviction notices after having an argument with the manager over their neglect to repair a flood problem. This is just one example of what is happening all around us, in and out of Manufactured Home Communities.
    Please come out November 14th to speak out and help get legislation passed against absurd rent increases and retaliatory evictions at the Main SLC Library from 1:00-3:00pm. Please pass the word on, much support is needed.
