What does the "AD" stand for?
"AD" is short for "The Abstract Drinkers," a creative collective based out of North Brooklyn. The AD's have anywhere between nine and thirty members, depending on how you draw up the census. I won't speak too much for everyone, as we operated under a delicate political system of universal aristocracy and email legislation, but here are several tenets of the AD's I've observed as fair constants:
1. Creative work has intrinsic value.
2. Communities grow with acts of intention
3. Weekends are reserved for community building
4. All great acts of intention end in dancing
