Hi everyone, Happy October. I hope your group Halloween costume prep is well under way. The past month has been a lot of travel for me - a combination of weddings to attend and an interesting ‘co-living experiment’ I participated in. A friend rented a large AirBnB in the desert and invited people to come live, work, and hang out there for two weeks. It had a bit of a Burning Man vibe, except it worked so well in large part because the organizer laid out explicit rules. Work hours from 8am to 6pm, rotating shifts of dinner prep and event organizing that everyone was expected to attend, quiet hours starting strictly at 11pm, etc. It was a lot of fun, a great chance to meet new people and enjoy a default 'opt in' culture for events. It makes me think we should all be doing more timeshares with friends!
