Hey hey we're in Time Out New York! We sound alarmingly interesting in it, too.
In other news I got one of the telescope building books for Optical Collusion in the mail yesterday and it is crazy. Did you know you shouldn't look at stars over the tops of houses? Apparently heat rises off of roofs at night and creates distortion in the air which makes the stars flickery and blurrier. You're already struggling enough trying to get your star-light through the whorls and turbulent bits of the atmosphere and you don't need to add anything else for it to fight through. You'd think that if that light traveled millions of light years it wouldn't wimp out at the last moment.
Also: sign up for classes before they fill up!
Like what we're doing?
We're trying to move into our own space so we can do awesome things all of the time, but we need your help to do it!
We want to have more classes, more workshops, and a space where everyone can come together to work on things that interest them. And so much more!
Check out our Kickstarter page for more info.

About us
Brooklyn Brainery hosts cheap collaborative classes on anything and everything. Think book clubs on steroids.
Brainery classes don't have real teachers! Class leaders guide the learning process - you could say they know where you're heading (West!), but not that you need to take I-80 for a few thousand miles to get to Sutter's Mill.
That's where you come in! By sharing what you already know or what you've learned from the week's homework, class becomes way more interesting and way more collaborative.
