My day job had me spending the weekend in Richmond, Virginia.I've driven through Richmond countless times in the last fifteen years; I've stared at the buildings and studied the bridges yet I'd never spent an evening there.
But I confess I've always had an affinity for their anarcho-punk scene, for bands like Avail, Strike Anywhere, Wasted Time, No Way Records and the town's general D.I.Y. ethic that seems to pulse though the blood of anyone I have met from there.
The town reminded me a lot of Baltimore with its row houses, and New Orleans with its sleepy seediness, and Savannah with its Civil War history and cobblestone streets.
It was a town populated by characters and I cursed myself for not having a proper camera to document my experience.
While out running errands for the day job, where we had to go pick up some signage for the beer festival, I spotted this gem on the light post.
Sometimes you just gotta do the math, ya know?
