3 Years and Counting

No matter how much you love Richmond, at some point you’ve got to get the fuck out.

No matter how much you love Richmond, at some point you’ve got to get the fuck out. For our third anniversary we hit the road, entertain ourselves with the aromas of different rivers, and return with something to talk about other than the mysterious perma-scabs you get from swimming in the James. Follow Books On Wheels in their mission to fix bikes and distribute literature to the masses in Pensacola, New Orleans, and Austin. Join us (but skip the long-ass flight) as we ponder human rights, sun drenched beaches, spirituality, and Vodka in Israel. Music for the ride includes the Drive By Truckers, Ann Beretta, Girl Talk, and Prabir And The Substitutes share some images of their own trip. We mark time with the best tattoo artists in RVA, and talk with Ed Trask about living in our fair city, because eventually, you’ll be back. They all come back.

I created Richmond, Virginia’s culture publication RVA Magazine and brought the first Richmond Mural Project to town. Designed the first brand for the Richmond’s First Fridays Artwalk and promoted the citywide “RVA” brand before the city adopted it as the official moniker. I threw a bunch of parties. Printed a lot of magazines. Met so many fantastic people in the process. Professional work: www.majormajor.me
