"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

Boo Bradley is Madison's amazing one-human jugband medicine show featuring Scott "Boo" Mullarky pumping out deep ragtime blues on a unique ensemble of old car horns, bells, a half guitar and half bass...guitar, kazoo,an old suitcase for a drum and a tambourine...all at once! As the Onion A.V. puts it, "During the warmer months, Boo's performances are a favorite on State Street and at the Dane County Farmers' Market. Thanks to his feel for the sonic quirks of dime store acoustic guitars, Boo Bradley is as warm and fun as bluesy acts come these days".
