On the roof of the loft I rented in Boston. Great views, 3,750 sq.ft of space plus roof-access… the rent was 650 bucks a month. Well, in Winter the heat was turned off Friday evening and we froze until Monday morning… that and it was still a fairly dangerous place at the time. Now the rent is four times higher for a quarter of the space and BMWs are parked in marked spaces in front…

I remember dragging my Mesa Boogie amp up and down the stairs, and installing dry-wall, an old sink, a water-heater, old claw-foot tub… sanding down the floor was a major drag, but it was a warehouse until we moved in…
