Graphic designer and writer Megan Deal is moving to Greensboro, Alabama to build a design lab for young designers in Hale County, one of the poorest places in the United States. In preparation, Megan is selling everything that she owns at her project website, goodbyewafflemaker.com:
This site is one part stoop sale and one part personal experiment. The idea was born during the March 2009 session of Project M in Belfast Maine, where 12 people sat crammed around a corner booth at Rollies, fueled by rounds of Guinness and Leinenkugels. By ridding myself of these possessions, I aim to both lighten my travel load and remove the obtrusive clutter from my everyday life. Questions, comments, and/or suggestions regarding this project or M Lab are welcome and appreciated.
I've boozed in Rollie's in my day. Greensboro can't be too much worse.
And what a soul-bareing inventory!

Good luck, though.
Yeah, it's for those people who had an exact set, but accidently lost one of them.
I agree with neatoman. Buy all your hippie trash within a hundred miles of where you live.
There's no point in looking... I already bought it.
And to Julie, this has not been done before. Megan is a completely different person with her own intentions and self discovery. Your lack of sensitivity to circumstance, context, and intention is outright embarrassing. Leave generalizations for the uneducated masses that you intend to stupify within a stagnant state of mind.
All I said was that the idea was not new. It's the same idea. Sell all your stuff. Of course she's a different human being, I think everyone gets that. I just don't think it should be passed off as unique that's all. I did wish her luck, geeez.
And I have no idea what that last sentence is supposed to mean but I guess that's because I'm one of the uneducated masses... being stupified... within a stagnant...
yeah, whatever, dude.
