Welcome!

Hi everyone, and welcome to the grand opening of the brand new Ferry House blog! Ok, so, there's nothing here yet, but, with the help of all of you, that will shortly change.

My hope for this blog is that it becomes another aspect of what Ferry does best: community. Ideally, it will be a discussion-style common space where we can all sit down together and figure stuff out -- everything from dates for FRAN nights, to special projects and committees, to new songs for the Haus Band, to what is actually the funniest/cutest/weirdest video on YouTube. Use it to find a ride to the train station next weekend, to find out if it's alright with everyone if you host some friends next Tuesday, use it to share recipes and photos and your brilliant late-night insights into the newest ways to make us the most sustainable we've ever been. Use it to get to make living in Ferry simpler, easier, more fun, dreamier, wilder, and just better. I know you thought it couldn't be any better -- but here it comes.

First and foremost, let's use it to get to know each other! Send us a Ferry Postcard, by replying to this post with a picture of yourself doing whatever fabulous thing you're doing this summer, and a few lines as to who you are, where you are, and what you want us to know about you. We can do round-two of postcards in August, and by move-in, maybe we'll start to recognize each other a bit. (Oh hey, I know her, she's that crazy girl who spent her summer training elephants for the circus and growing organic peaunuts to increase sustainability at Ringling Bros.! Cool!) And in the meantime (and always) help me make this space better. I've never had a blog or website of any kind before, so I need all of your help to make it work!

peace, peanuts, and ferrylove b
