Can anyone think of a reason why "recording devices" are among the list of prohibited items for the block party we're having this weekend? And why "disposable cameras" are on the enumerated list of allowed items (implying that non-disposable cameras are not allowed)?
All I can come up with is that there will be some live music being performed, and many concerts do prohibit cameras and recording devices. But--and no disrespect to the hard-working performers scheduled for Durham Rising is intended here--there is no one performing at this thing who wouldn't benefit from a wider distribution of their music and/or likeness, ya know?
So really--whassupwidat???
Bag searches prior to entering the controled perimeter hardly strike me as the way to make the people that have been avoiding downtown Durham all these years (which is to say, pretty much everyone) feel welcome.

But the rectal searches are going to make it a very personal and intimate affair.
It's Homeland Security run amok!!
well - at least no one tackled me at the event and tried to take my camera away. immigration would not look on that sort of incident kindly, now would they?
it was actually pretty fun. go durham!
