Travels to the South 03-02

These are some pictures taken during my trip to Richmond VA and Raleigh-Durham NC during March of 2002. I recently discovered the film, which apparently was in my camera for two years. Most of the footage is blurry, due to the fact that most of the interesting things that I saw were in dark environments. I like to sleep late.

Advance the slide when you hear the beep.

Richmond

Richmond was beautiful. Nice old buildings. The shops had interesting displays.

Pink

A store called Pink
This is a store called Pink. It has some fancy clothes. It's next to a shopping plaza-type place with a drugstore where I bought the film.

Outside Richie's Pacific Grill

Rain poured outside the club the night
			of the show
This is the club where the first show was. It was pouring rain outside, but people came anyways. I had my first of many drinks of the trip at this place.

Inside Richie's

inside Richie's
This is inside Richie's, where some band was playing. We ate steaks. You cna't see it here but there's a blue neon saxaphone in the upper right corner.

Durham

Durham—of Raleigh-Durham—was a little depressed, not unlike Springfield MA.

Are you ready Durham?

Al gets beer at a store
Wow, the beer down here sure is cheap. Nice selection. 24 Miller High Lifes in cans, please. That should do it. I'm actually not sure if this is in Durham or Greensboro or Cleveland. Somebody help me out here.

I said are you ready Durham?

Zev gets some more beer at a store
Zev decides we better get some more beer. Good idea.

Upstairs at Ringside

The bar at Ringside
Taken from the balcony upstairs at Ringside, an old boxing venue that spans three floors. Pool tables downstairs. Glad we didn't have much equipment!
Headlining was a two peice hip-hop act. Toward the end the singer shouted out to us. Give it up for Milkweed. Yeah. They're pretty dope. Never forget stuff like that.

Get your rest

Jim takes a rest
Traveling around the country is tough, and it's important to sit down and rest whenever possible.
