A400 Publication Revival...and Welcome

After a short sabbatical into the realm of summer spirits, the group known as "ARCH400" is back in early-morning action. This marks the impetus for the slow, rumbling rhythm in the womb of the architectural beast, the small group of dedicated students who are crazy enough to dedicate time they don't have to something greater than themselves. A complex cacophony of thoughts and words and sounds and flipping of pages will be the trail that others follow to reach the diminutive, dim-lit make-shift office lobby with small, surrounded table and a spattering of letters and pictures.

This, if it is so desired, will be the collection box for whispers that fall and are forgotten on the cutting room floor. And perhaps even where some soft mention of a passing thought will rustle and revive some long-lost inspiration to create something anew, an amalgam of common things that in combination create something far more astounding.

For those times that we cannot hear the tired breath and throat-clearing of Tuesday mornings, we will labor here, languishing at the keyboard with a temporary thought of something that might be better expressed in person.

To those who look a fresh eye upon this group, welcome. Tarry only as long as you need, to squeeze and sputter and spill your words onto these pages so that they might be remembered a few days later, when they have failed to survive in the confines of your mind. This is not a meeting place, nor can it be, not in the flesh. More simply it is a place where your thoughts and words can be cast into the void of pages and pixels to be caught and released but returned with one more piece of information, a single inspiration more then you came in with.

Save your good ones for Tuesday. Obviously. That said, I wish you all the best and I look forward to seeing what crazy, mal-formed and magnificent oddities we conjure up this time around. If you need any help with any of this, blog, server, what not, and that, let me know. That's all.
