We played a show this weekend at 305 South as part of the Durham3 Arts Series that's held in Durham. We had a great time and met some really cool artists and saw some friends that we hadn't seen in awhile. I asked each one of these friends if they had ever been to the venue before and they all replied 'No'.
And then something strange happened.
Each one of them, as soon as they said 'No', immediately focused on something in 305 South, slacked their arms to their side, dropped their drink, got that faraway gaze in the eyes, and slowly started walking towards whatever thing it was that they were focused on (each thing was different for each person). I didn't see them for the rest of the night presumably because once one thing gets you, the thing next to it will too, ad infinitum. Literally. Some of them ae still there. If you've ever been in 305 South, you know that there is a lot to look at and this blog isn't necessarily for you.
It's for everyone else.
Go check it out. It's a fabulous space in downtown Durham on Dillard St. (as in 305 South Dillard Street). The owners call it an anti-mall and that's about as good as a description as you can get.

If you've been to 305, list the thing that got your attention the first time. If you've never been, go and come back here and let us know. We'll wait for you.
