    We sold out the first weekend!

    Hello backers!

    We opened last weekend to three sold out houses! It was an incredible experience, and the feedback has been amazing. There are people who are coming again, people who wish they knew about the project beforehand so they could donate their living room, and best of all, people who had never experienced anything like this before. We were so proud of the work, and we're so happy that you have helped us along the way.

    We have three weekends left, and if you or your friends are in the LA/Orange county area, please make sure to get your tickets at www.ahimsacollective.com/livingroomtour. Thank you for your generosity! I hope we can make our goal!

    Love!

    The Calendar for Living Rooms is up!

    Hello there backers and potential backers,

    First off, thank you SO much for the support so far. We are so very appreciative of the love, and we hope it continues! Exciting news: We have just put up the calendar for the Living Rooms up on our website! That means you can go onto the website, and purchase tickets for any of the shows. We would absolutely love for you to make it and see the show that you have so graciously supported. There are very, very few tickets for each show since we are in mostly small spaces, so please buy them ASAP if you are planning on attending.

    The website where you can check out the houses and purchase tickets is at
    http://www.ahimsacollective.com/livingroomtour.html

    See you soon, and please, notify your friends! Our goal is to raise another $150 dollars this week, and with your help, we're sure we can make it.

    Love!

        I don't often wish I still lived in Riverside, but this would be one of those times... Good luck, and I'll spread the word! What fun!
