stack them or lay them flat and tell your friends , for fifty bucks donation you will be putting their names on the bricks. think big.
thats what i would do. fuck yeah..
ya know in chi town, although i really hate bricks, project should be done with a strong 'thermal mass' enclosure' thats b-r-i-c -k -s.
in la la land ---- i am thinking the same thermal mass thing applies.' its as f'ing hot there as it is f'ing cold here...........
ya know i once got a masonory institute award --- does that make me special???? or just a brick geek [must say it was a granite clad building but as mason union guys put it together...got it]
I once heard a story about an "artist" who staged a "performance piece" that consisted of inviting a bunch of people to meet at a specific time to view the event. They showed up at what turned out to be a city bank building, and the "performance" was the "artist" pitching a brick through the window and racing off as the alarms rang out, leaving a bewildered group of people standing on the sidewalk wondering what was going on as the police cars drove up.
So you could do that. But I think the spigot paving is a better idea.
its by my friend ali acerol who has been chiseling bricks for a while.
he also got brick shoes, quotations marks, chairs, tables, venus de mialo you name it. bricks like him.
Well, Alvar Aalto did like this in his experimental summerhouse, actually the whole building is made entirely out of material samples... nice way to build a unique and very cheep house!
hurl them through the car whose alarm kept me up til 3 am. seriously, what kind of alarm goes off for two straight hours? i didn't think that was possible.
you can actually have that car towed. if you file a noise
complaint with the police they will come and tow the car.
for next time...a friend of mine had it done in the middle
of the day. so i imagine it wouldn't be any different in
the middle of the night.
What would you do with bricks?
I have the oppoturnity to take home free brick samples... (have about 10 types and maybe between 1-4 of each type)
don't know what I would do with them...
what would you do?
pave the area under the outdoor spigot
use it as part of a homemade dog house? but the spigot idea sounds good too.

you could make bookshelves with the bricks and some planks
invent a new bond pattern?
Commit some misdemeanors.
throw them at the Stanford Undergraduate Admission windows!
Since they have no M/Arch program, they've lost me forever! Obviously Berkeley has much better judgement of the two schools!
you can start a small garden, if you have a yard, and line it with bricks
ask it what it wants to be!!!!...........bahahahahahahaha!!!

re: turbo's comment. i once read an interesting observation:
at philips exeter, kahn asked a brick what it wanted to be and it must have answered 'veneer'.

sell them to cheap developers. i swear we have some that would use bricks off sample boards if we would let them.
good luck

You could try asking the brick what it wants to be but I have a feeling that most bricks just want to get laid (props to French)
Say you love me. Oh, say it with paving stones!
build a u shape build it up...put a steel plate on top.
light a fire underneath
throw on a few steaks
Liberty Bell, I think I know that same Artist, he did it as his thesis or master work for his MFA. What a small world.
put them under your monitor to raise it 6 or 7 inches to an ergonomically correct height - your neck must be killing you!
Bricks=Broken Windows
think of a name(s). write it on the brick(s). it is now your new pet(s). care and nurture your new pet(s).

Love that image, abra, can't remember where I've seen it lately.
On the other hand, this globe creeps me out:

"Can it float"
its by my friend ali acerol who has been chiseling bricks for a while.

a one brick wide walkway
I am sure Per could figure out some way to violate said bricks.
Well, Alvar Aalto did like this in his experimental summerhouse, actually the whole building is made entirely out of material samples... nice way to build a unique and very cheep house!
the question is, how long did aalto have to hoard samples before he could do that?

of course throwing a brick through the window would
insure that the alarm went off for the rest of the night
without turning off.
i would get brad pitt to autograph them and then sell them on ebay
interesting image liberty bell... do you know who todd william's dad is?
Suffice it to say; "he sells paint."
