#Hangout

A hangout is a sanctuary where burdens of responsibility and duty are momentarily discarded in favor of shared idleness and pointless chatter amongst kindred spirits. Within its bounds, neither purpose of conversation nor any outcome is demanded; only time is lulled into oblivion. Like a secluded microcosm detached from society, it deceives one into forgetting the harshness of the outside world. Yet this very suspension of productivity becomes, paradoxically, the most tangible activity of its participants. It is, without exaggeration, a communal theater of professional idlers specializing in the art of doing absolutely nothing.
