A little east of the mountains, but Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill is fun. Chapel Hill of course is the only place in North Carolina with a Sonic Youth song named for it. Speaking of fun college towns, while in Atlanta, pop over to Athens and hang out at the 40 Watt club, home of REM. Sorta anyway. It's on its fourth location, but still fun. Peter Buck's ex still owns it, I think. Most of my US tourism centers around dingy rock clubs. I can tell you the best place to see a noisy band in about 35 states, but I'm less good on campgrounds, etc. -- mike Whatever, I'm still waiting for the Next Grunge...Chris Devers
