For anyone who is wondering how I’ve been able to spend an entire month in Brooklyn, the answer is my friends are awesome! I’m crashing in the loft space at their crazy apartment in Bushwick (it’s the one on the right). To give you an idea of what these places are like – noise complaints are unheard of. People move here specifically so that they wont have neighbors bug them about their basement dance party going until 6 or 7 in the morning. One apartment has a weekly open mic night. Another doubles as a gallery. On paper it sounds pretty awesome. In reality, if it weren’t for caffeine, nicotine, booze, and a variety of other substances I feel like this whole place would come crumbling down.
