I recall taking over my friend Alfredo's apartment in Hunts Point, on Lafayette Avenue. This was not the original intention, but it served us well. We all sharpened our tools there. Whether it was Julio Cesar creating the Aventura logo, El Bachatu using his IT expertise way before his time to email the DJ association all over the world when the dot-com was created, the guys coming up with concepts for songs, or Alfredo (El Boyyy) and myself doing the legwork, we all made the most of our time there. There are plenty of details to share, so stay tuned.
