Dear Brothers,
Ok, my contact finally got back to me regarding our
Destruction Project, or Construction Anti-Project, or
make-up-your-own. If you'll be coming, go ahead and send me email
anytime; I'll also get a sign-up sheet in the office tomorrow (Tues)
morning. Either way is OK, and if you aren't sure but do end up
coming, just show up Saturday morning. I would like an idea
beforehand, so that we get assigned a large enough chunk of work: they
apparently have about 30 people at each of two houses any weekend day,
so if only 5 sign up we may get assigned to the house whose
destruction is at the final-clean-up stage instead of the
full-teardown stage, and won't have enough work for the 15 who do show
up.
They will have safety glasses and goggles, but we should wear
boots (preferable) or heavy shoes to avoid the accidental
nail-in-the-foot. No skill is required, and no great strength,
either; that's what the leverage of a crowbar is good for, and the
swinging of a hammer.
Who: y'all
What: help renovate affordable housing in Cambridge
When: we leave the office at 9am; I'll have the address in a day or
two so that latecomers will be able to walk there.
We'll be leaving the site around 12:30, giving us plenty of
time to get back to campus for the Meal of Pledges and their Articles.
Or is that "Scientific Pledges' Arms for a Meal (SPAM)"?
Where: Exact address TBA later, but it should be within 10-15 minute
walk from campus, on Columbia St (off Mass. Ave.) or Jefferson St.
Why: They want us to bring extra crowbars and hammers because, and
I quote the volunteer organizer, "there never seem to be
enough of them." That's good enough for AX, right??
Yours in Leveraging, deFurbishing, and Smashing,
Brad Lichtenstein
