Karaoke and Crab Cakes

A final beer of the night at the Marriott in Richmond

Richmond, VA was a nice little town proud of its history. One of only three memorials to remember the mistake of slavery resides there. Another part of town offers a controversial mural of Robert E. Lee, once an image in full Confederate uniform, now re-designed the general is in plain clothes after a compromise with those who saw it as distasteful. I didn't get to see any pearls of culture concerning the history of this town. Instead, I had a pint at one bar and shared good conversation with a couple from England and their son, Ben, a writer and actor living in London who is now a myspace friend of mine. I relished in the company but had to end the fun to stop off at Penny Lane to sing karaoke and enjoy a couple more beers.

Now I'm in Durham, NC where I ordered room service for the first time ever: a glass of merlot and one crab cake for a grand total of $19. Was it worth it? I don't know, but the crab cake better be fuckin' good!
