Today, Hoon and I went to the Trumbleplex, “Detroit’s sexiest anarchist collective.” Let me tell you it was sexy. 4210 Trumbull is an historic building, and we were lucky enough to have a tour of the house. The rooms were beautiful; the aesthetic closely resembled\u00a0a punk house you’d see in a movie…light burst\u00a0through the\u00a0windows to\u00a0brighten the spines of a packed bookshelf, plants everywhere, paintings, art, numerous guitars set loosely against the wall, a bed parked on the floor without a box spring…However, if any of you are jumping to conclusions, this was NOT a squat house…The Trumbullplex is a cooperative. Hoon and I were able to glean some of the goings on from our ‘tour guide.’ He mentioned how carefully they considered prospective\u00a0tenants\u00a0with other co-op members. They want to have women and men equally represented. He reported high straight and gay integration. He approximated that gay residents comprise about 50% of the\u00a0household. A\u00a0call for more diversity regarding race though was important at the moment.\u00a0Most residents are white, but\u00a0a\u00a0Korean American is living there too, or maybe he said half-Korean American….<\/p>\n

The grounds around the house are pretty interesting. There’s a bus parked in the lush backyard shrubbery\u00a0called, “Blue Bird.”<\/p>\n

They have a chicken coop<\/p>\n

And really sweet graffiti on the back of the house…right next to\u00a0the “theatre” entrance. The Zine Library is next to the stage where bands play…for real.<\/p>\n

I didn’t take any pictures inside…I didn’t think that’d be appropriate…but there’s a show tomorrow night to celebrate the re-opening of the zine library! Doors at 7pm, show at 8. I made a zine donation myself, just a little something I picked up on my backpacking trip to Portland in Powell’s books entitled, “Mob Action Against the State.” It chronicles Mayday commemoration events in Chicago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Apparently the Trumbullplex is only one in a “Venn Diagram” type partnership of co-ops that communicate and host events for one another. There is another co-op down the street, supposedly comprised of younger members, but we weren’t able to find it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I picked up plenty of ephemera. Check it:<\/p>\n

I plan to get a little more clued into the zines they carry tomorrow at the re-opening…technically they weren’t open today due to remodeling,\u00a0pero tuve un probar!<\/p>\n

I briefly looked through what one of the members deemed a classic; it looks like this:<\/p>\n

One of the entries detailed something resembling the following argument Brownies are like Punk cuz they come out of the oven all crusty.<\/p>\n
