"The First Annual Bi-Weekly Town Hall Meeting of Dragonmouth"

Miguel decided on Sunday night that the Jackson situation in which Jack is living at Dragonmouth needed to cease, and he was going to set about the events necessary for this to occur. Well, it was well established in most people's heads that Jackson needed to get out. People have been talking about how they aren't as comfortable going over there with him there, it tends to be messy, he leaves his shit all around, etc, ad infinitum, and so forth, plus additional comments. Miguel felt like this weasly, talk-secretly-and-don't-have-any-balls attitude that everyone seemed to have about their feelings for the need for Jackson's dismissal needed to end. While Miguel, Tony, and I were bitching about the situation, Miguel came up with this meeting idea. He would invite "everyone who gives a shit about Dragonmouth" with the idea that we could all meet at Dragonmouth and everyone could express their opinions openly and we could come up with a resolution to kick Jackson out. So, Miguel got on Facebook and invited people, and it was set.

Tuesday at 1, I showed up for the meeting. Jessie, Kane, Jack Obrien, Stephanie, Miguel were there. John was going to be a little late, and at 1:05, Conner texted Miguel, "So, Dragonmeeting is still at 2, right?". John and Conner showed up, but Jackson was missing. This was not pleasing to everyone, and general sentiment towards Jackson continued to sour. Miguel called his phone several times without Jack anwsering, so we began planning to have the meeting without him, but eventually he picked up. He was at Aubrey's house; he had lost track of time.

The meeting began without him, and it was quickly established that everyone there was opposed to him living there. Some strong logical "Cards" set up were that 1. Dragonmouth is not life, we are sheltering Jack from having to deal with his problems by allowing him to stay there. 2. Jackson is using Greg Danner (me). 3. Jackson doesn't respect Greg Danner. 4. It is not our concern if Jackson doesn't have a place to go, our governance ends at the property line of Dragonmouth. 5. The last time the house was rented, it ran for $1200 a month, at a great deal, which Jackson cannot possibly afford.

There were probably more that I am forgetting, and I am not exactly racking my brain. Some other items were addressed at the meeting. A new rule was established that if any illegal activities are occurring at Dragonmouth, I am to be called immediately, and if I am not available, another patron is to be called, preferably John or Matt. Everyone is to act as an authority in kicking people out who are breaking Dragonmouth's prohibition policy, in the defence of Dragonmouth. I gave everyone a bit of apologetics to use in case they had to deal with that. the previous night, Jack and I were there playing video games when my mom came in unannounced, without even knowing whether or not I was there. If she came in and bad stuff was happening, then basically everything would be fucked.

Jackson and Aubrey showed up, and the matter was handled delicately, and Jack took everything we had to say perfectly. He respected our decisions, well, my decision, and an official 30 day notice was given. Eviction would occur at the end of the 30 days. Eviction was defined as Miguel bringing Jack's stuff over to Jack's dad's house.

The meeting ran as cleanly as possible, except for one thing which I regret doing. When I told John that Aubrey and Jack were coming, he told me that he would leave because of her. I went off and told Jackson that he should come without her because I had reasons that I didn't want to disclose for why she shouldn't be there. They, as anyone would, saw right through it and demanded that I admit that it was because of John. Jack threatened to not come if Aubrey couldn't come. At that point they were outside. I announced to everyone that they had arrived, and I guess John had changed his mind at that point, so he stayed, they came in, and the movie went on. I sent Aubrey a long text apologizing for it. "Sorry for being a bitch earlier. I was acting like a little not cool person. I was under a lot of pressure from everyone. It wasn't john who wanted me to ask you to (not) come. It was me because i felt like i needed him. In the end i just simply told john that you were coming and at that point he chose to stay as well. I am glad that you stood up to me. sometimes i get lost in power, so i really appreciate that you had the balls to talk me down. Sorry." I sent her that at 1:30 AM, so she hasn't responded yet.
