The Loudest Yeller Office is just a tiny little space in the basement of a very big building that sits at the bottom of the Williamsburg Bridge. It's just a room big enough to hold 50 bicycles and a lot of helmets and bike tools (And some art left over from the art show). 

The basement of this building hosts a number of small businesses like this one. There are some computer nerds, a couple of etheticians, a tattoo artist… and my favorite; a sound recording studio that I share a wall with. They have a voice box in there, so they do all sorts of audio and voice recordings. I like it because it's a lot of hip hop with good beats and it's fun to hear how they develop the lyrics and change things. Yes, it does literally sound like I have a radio on in the same room. It's just loud enough that it's not distracting. They also have a steady stream of interesting artists hanging around which is fun too. It's a New York experience for sure. 

That reminds me of when I saw a rap video being filmed the other day down the street. There was about 25 African American Males between the ages of 18 and 25 bouncing to music, wearing bling and saggy pants and gesturing into a camera that resting Nike high off the ground. It was a big party. Great to come across a block from home.
