Social Center Squat

i can say that its a difficult process in the states. ive tried and never succeded. although i had a squat in honolulu and we had a couple shows before we had to leave.

I totally know how you feel, but buying an abando for a few bucks is probably easier and more sustainable.

In Netherlands it was always pretty easy.
Squats were just squats and you could officialy live in them , have water and electricity to your name. But you cant sell things. So if you want to do a bar you cannot sell alcohol for example. So this is done more sneaky.
Doing theme evenings, having a kitchen or things like that is no problem at all.
Why wouldnt it be possible to organise a weekly movie evening in a squat in the states? if the movies for example are copyright free movies, even if someone would control it, it still would be legal, right?
