The Hurricane at The Raleigh Depot

Gina, Jenny, and Lindsay



In the area surrounding the Raleigh Depot is The Hurricane. I’ll be honest in that I’ve never actually had a drink here, but it looked like a fine enough establishment.

Rick of the Last Dance


Rick enjoying a break at the hotel before his band, The Last Dance go onstage at the Lincoln Theatre as a part of The Eccentrik Music Festival.

According to The Eccentrik Music Festival web site,

Eccentrik Festival is an annual Gothic and Industrial music held in Raleigh, NC in the fall. It features bands and DJs from around the world. The event also encompasses an art show, vendors, we also hope to add variety acts and a fashion show.

If you are interested in going, it has unfortunately already concluded. It was completed with a Post Mortem Brunch on Sunday at the top of the Clarion Tower last Sunday morning.
