Raleigh

Haha, this is Andrew's friend Ori from Israel...we went out for a beer the first night of the show and later he came with us to the art museum. This was sunday night and this was about the only place still open, but they had $3.00 bloody marys that were reeeeeally good. Saturday night we met Kristen for dinner in Chapel Hill. We at at a mediterranean restaurant that had so much food we didn't know what to get. We ended up getting a sample platter and some other small things. We had a stuffed cabbage roll, which I think we call golumpki, and it wasn't nearly as good as mom's.

The North Carolina Museum of Art

This building is recent, but I don't know when it was built. It's pretty amazing, and, again, I could have taken a billion more pictures but I ran out of time. Just google it. The part I really liked was the reflective, permeable, light qualities of everything. All the aspects were really subtle and made one big impression, but if you had taken away one of the smaller pieces, you would definitely have noticed.

Raleigh Convention Center

The NAHB National Green Building Conference was held at the Raleigh Convention Center. I realized I only took pictures of this one wall, but thats ok. I took so many pictures of it i didn't have time to take any of anywhere else because we were ready to go. And the security guards were making fun of me because I was laying on the floor and moving plants and what not. The show was awesome, I learned a lot and finally got some good networking in. We got to do everything we'd do if we payed, except we were volunteering so we looked better. It rained the whole time, too. Also, the only thing I don't know how to fix on Andrew's camera is how bright and washed out the light gets, I've changed everything and I can't totally fix it.
