Jay Shafer, Tiny Houses

From Jay Shafer of Tiny Houses..come see him in Sebastopol, CA on Wednesday, March 3, 2010...
Wee Shall Overcome
 
It has been nearly 14 years since I started, what I like to call, my aggressive pacifist's campaign to make the built world a smaller place. To date, my approach has been to pretty much just live my life in a small footprint and hope that my example might inspire others to do the same.

On Wednesday, March 3 at roughly 7:00pm at the Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol, CA. I'll be taking a somewhat more active approach. Ignite Sebastopol 3 is part of Global Ignite Week. Roughly a dozen speakers from the Bay Area will be given just twenty slides and five minutes each to present their subjects. I will be using my time to rip America's system of imposed excess a new body part. My distain for the building codes that restrict how small a house can be is no secret. On March 3rd  I'll be making my position all the more clear. All presentations will be recorded and posted for international viewing.

We're expecting a full house (~130 inside, and others watching the live feed to a screen in the outdoor Beer Garden), so get your tickets early.
