Brickyard

Brickyard-Jan2008: 306 South Main. Come say hello!

Brief effort

Star Maker:

“Two lights for guidance. The first our little glowing atom of community, with all that it signifies. The second the cold light of the stars, symbol of the hypercosmical reality, with its crystal ecstasy. Strange that in this light, in which even the dearest love is frostily assessed, and even the possible defeat of our half-waking world is contemplated without remission of praise, the human crisis does not lose but gains significance. Strange, that it seems more, not less, urgent to play some part in this struggle, this brief effort of animalcules striving to win for their race some increase of lucidity before the ultimate darkness.”

Not network

6 — common ground:

“People lack a place where they can have regular, meaningful dialogues with other people in a casual, social setting. Work and home don’t provide it, and many clubs or groups also don’t provide it because they meet in lifeless environments that feel like someone else’s turf.”

Forms of work

80 — self-governing workshops and offices:

“Work is a form of living, with its own intrinsic rewards; any way of organizing work which is at odds with this idea, which treats work instrumentally, as a means to other ends, is inhuman.”
