Let me tell you about The Interval - my favorite bar / coffee shop / library in SF

It's located in Fort Mason, a 100+ year old coastal defense site situated on San Francisco's headland overlooking the Golden Gate bridge.

The bar is home to the clock of the Long Now, a clock that will tick for 10,000 years with minimal human intervention - inviting those who encounter it to look past their own life spans.

Construction of The Interval has been funded by a community of over 1,200 individual supporters - including via its Bottle Keep initiative.

In the Japanese tradition of "bottle keep" patrons purchase an entire bottle of spirit that will be kept at the bar for them to drink on subsequent visits. At the interval, these bottles hang in round jars from the ceiling.

Behind the bar is a piece of electronic visual art designed by Brian Eno. Its layers of colors and patterns is constantly changing - and programmed such that it should never show the same image twice in thousands of years.

I won't give away all the secrets of this place here. You should go check it out for yourself.

But it has always felt so fitting to me that this place exists in San Francisco - the heart of so much technological change and transformation.

Of course it is no coincidence because it is thanks to the work of the Long Now Foundation.

Anyway, I convinced my company @EspressoSys to host the first of many happy hours at the Interval next Thursday night.

Absolutely adore this space, Only been once for a Midjourney meetup, which I will say, was very fitting 😅

I went here for the first time a few weeks ago. Super awesome spot.

Seems like a great model for many institutions using combinations of DAO treasuries, endowment tokenomics, and long term thinking. Gonna check it out. Seems like a perfect schelling point (if I had money to spend I would start a cafe by that name)

Throwback to that one Farcaster meetup where I met @matthew @kevinoconnell and a bunch of other folks!

This place looks fascinating. Especially the Long Now clock. I will definitely check it out.
