williamsburg, brooklyn

Towards the end of our vacation we went to visit a couple of friends who both live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. What a happening spot, as our friend Dave would say, "bananas!" That part of the city has the most amazing graffiti art, it is such a pleasure just walking around.

We visited Dave at his home/studio and got to sit in as he recorded the new Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs record. That was awesome. Oh, and thanks to to the other Dave for showing us the best coffee shop and generally hanging out.

We also visited Rebecca, I know her from grad school. Got to go to her studio where she is currently working on a project with the artist Vik Muniz. They are creating forgeries of the back of famous photos. Beautiful work, she is so talented.

Went to the new New Museum and the MoMA as well. The MoMA had a fabulous exhibit about pre fab houses. Actually had 5 houses on the grounds you could walk through.

I love Austin, but the energy in Willliamsburg was alluring.
