A Pet Peeve That Will Definitely Be Addressed Here

You know one of my pet peeves is folks who say there is nothing to do in this area, I choose to call home....Just follow me for a week or two, and you will see there are always things happening in our town, ranging from Book Signings and Poetry Readings to Independent Filmmakers making films to various musicians performing various genres of music around town, and there style of music range from Blues To Jazz to Rock and Roll to Folk and Classical.....

Let's just think of some of the world class events that are based right here in Durham, and that include things like the Bull Durham Blues Festival, American Dance Festival and The Full Frame Film Festival just to mention a few, and some that might be sited as more regional but definitely have large followings, i.e. the Festival at the Eno, Bimbe Festival, Juneteenth Festival in Durham, Centerfest, etc.....

Is getting quality food something you are interested in, check out the Farmers Market on Wednesdays and Saturday....Plus there are various worldclass restaurants here like Nana's, Pops, Revolution, Parizades, Cuban Revolution, Spartacus, and Nikko's just to name a few.
Have an interest in photography, there are various groups around town that deal with this topic and there is a Fencing Group that meets on Broad Street....If you are interested in Boxing, there are some Boxing classes you can take........If you are interested in sports, check out not only our college teams, but perhaps one of the most famous Minor League Team because of the movie and their success, the Durham Bulls......

If you just want to watch sports, there are various sports bars...Or you can do Fantasy Football like I have been doing for several years that my brother and several of his friends got me into...Earlier this day, I was given a lift by our commissioner Randy Edwards and he told me that we still need new participants for our two conferences. If interested, let me know...

Of course, as I said before, there is regular music series going on, among them are the Brightleaf series, the series at the American Tobacco campus, the concert series Parks and Rec does by the Bull, and the one that Music Maker will be launching again later this month at West Village.

And these are just some of the examples of what's happening on a regular basis, so don't say that there isn't anything to do in our fair city...Of course sometimes you just feel like sitting at home, curling up with a good book, watching TV, or doing nothing....I know I had various options for Parties Saturday night, but opted to just chill......
