An idea for next summer.

I was thinking about getting like one hundred cool young people to move to a small North American city for the summer. Move from Echo Park, Bushwick, The Mission, Wicker Park, Capitol Hill, or which ever neighborhood you are paying too much to live in to a designated locale. It’d be like a summer camp, but with more wine and potlucks. 

You could use this time to save money while you: write your novel, record your album, postulate on 5th wave feminism, learn to grow food, practice sustainability, have fun, etc. I think we need to find a place that’s affordable, warm, close to nature, has a (small existing) community of sympathetic residents. 

Is anybody interested? Does anyone want to join an exploratory committee on this idea? I am serious. Last year I said I’d be in Europe in 2011. I am writing this from London.

Here are some potential slogans: Occupy middle America. Gentrify the Midwest.
