Your mention of "brick reality" is the first I've heard. It seems

parallel to another usage I am familiar with: skin meeting. There are now

electronic "meetings" of various 12-step groups (Alcoholics Anonymous, et.c)

on the net, and members of those groups sometimes refer to flesh-and-blood

meetinsgs as "skin meetings."
