It is the place were institutions matter least around these parts (NYC), and, therefore, the most exciting stuff can happen.

Listening in on things. Haunted Houses, amusement parks, circuses, pro wrestling, Buster Keaton, David Byrne, quiet bars, Housing Works, family.
-Do you see yourself staying in Brooklyn?
Yep. Unless it prices me out.

I hardly ever get a full Brooklyn day… But, if I did – walking around, rehearsal, friends at a bar, show, bar, bed (?).

Space and time.
