ABOUT ME

We are three best friends who are taking a short bike trip from Austin to San Marcos for training and carpe diem purposes. We live in a cooperative house in Austin (House of Commons), a self run democratic house hold, so we are well acquainted with the value of respecting living spaces. I (Katie) am an aerospace engineering student at UT, Ally studies computer science and Elijah studies film. If you allow us to stay at your place, we'll buy you beers and cook you a sweet vegan dinner.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is greater than everything.
Only the ego dies alone.
Materials create conditions.
You can pick your friends, and your nose, and your friends nose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not sure what "how I participate" means.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although we have never couch surfed ourselves, we have hosted many couch surfers via our co-operative (usually during SXSW and other events). So far, we've never had a bad experience with the people who made their way through our home.

Interests

We like riding our bikes, throwin up the projector and playing a movie outside, dancing at motown thursdays at Barbarellas, exploring drain tunnels, climbing stuff, arts n crafts (stencils, collaging etc). Things we like to talk about: Space, poetry, space-poetry, programming, bands, kitties and puppies.
