All 7 current Roupers as well as Roup-Related Individual (RRI) Becca C. went to Rouper Lucy's reading down the street. Unfortunately everybody had a very bad time so in order to salvage the night we had a reading of our own. Everybody went to their rooms and wrote or contemplated silently for 10 minutes and then assembled in the upstairs studio space to present our work. It was much better than the other reading and had almost the same attendance. These are the recordings which were done on a microcassette recorder and then transferred to tape. We hope you enjoy them!!!

Landlord gone, but a new aspect of Roup House is discovered.
As you know our landlady was here this weekend. We may discuss this in greater detail another time. However one interesting incident is when she referred to new Rouper RJ as "number four roommate." This suggests that, as RJ is on the second floor, the first floor roommates are #1-3.
Since Brian and Lucy were the first to live here, they would be considered #1 and #2. Since they are both exceedingly humble, they decided to share the #1 spot together, and make former Rouper April, who moved in briefly after they did, #2. This makes Seth #3 as he moved in after April.
However, we will shortly be in the company of another temporary roommate, H., who will be here before our official long-term second floor roommate, Ron. This complicates things. Since April got her own permanent Rouper Number, will this also be true of H.? Will Ron have to have a number higher than that of either of the third floor roommates, or should the numbers be ordered logically by floor? If the Roupers were ranked by quality, how would the list look different? How does this list compare to the list of Sliptknot band members? Who is our #0? Please advise!
#1. Lucy / Brian
#2. April
#3. Seth
#4. RJ
#5. Autumn
#6. H. / Ron (????)
#7. Joe
#8. Ross

another classic joke
How many Roupers does it take to change a light bulb?
The real question is how many people are walking to the Giant Eagle and how long will it take for everyone to get ready?
CLASSIC JOKES REVISITED
How many Roupers does it take to change a light bulb?
Depends on who has a job and can afford one.

A couple of Roupers decided to go downtown and then decided to eat black bean burgers...they didn't have any idea what kind of mess they would get into...
We were both super psyched ! A giant big 'ole burger!
It was FREE COOKIE WEDNESDAYS and we got to pick two each ! White chocolate macedamia nut and chocolate chip ? !

seeking 8th housemate
seeking 8th housemate for big happy wierd family of rambunctious twentysomethings. we live in friendship, really close to many awesome coffee shops, food places, galleries, and performance spaces. the rent is 375 a month, which includes everything except for internet which is generally 7 or 8 bucks a month. you'd have your own room but be sharing a bathroom with one other person. we have awesome heat in the winter and an amazing front porch, back patio, and backyard with firepit for the summer. oh, and we're working on a garden with vegetables, herbs, and flowers!
we're really into making a big production out of something and then collapsing into semipermenant states of sleepy uselessness for days afterwards. we cook vegetarian food. we make art and music and writings. you should do some or all of these things with us! must be ok with occasional sleep deprivation.

Can you name all of the new roup members
Selected someone you know and add a name, or click "x" to ignore that person. Hit the print button to print this picture out and write in the names of your favorite Roupers.
Rouper Brian started smoking cigarettes about a week ago because he's taken notice to all of the coolest kids in the area and how each and every one of them also smokes. The bandwagon has arrived, and he's gonna ride it til his lungs and throat get crispy. However, he's afraid others have begun to mock him and are trying to steal his image. For example, Bathroom Showertubface!
