Re: Jammie's MASSIVE Sumfest 2008, ridiculously photographic trip report.
After shopping we head back to the hotel and Cliff drops by. He was taking a friend to the airport and Ashley had left something in his car so he came to drop it off. I didn't know it at this time but it would be the last time I see Cliff 
I called JMiss's old neighbor Devon since we had some time to kill. We headed out to Bogue Village to see him and hang in Miss's old neighborhood. It was neat being back there, I saw her other house just up the street from his place. We had a few drinks, met Devon's brother and sister in law who were also getting ready for Sumfest that night. They were really nice. Then it was time to go back so we could get ready too.
One thing that killed me this trip is the price difference in all the taxi rides. They see white people and think we don't know what we should pay. I did pretty well with negotiations but sometimes these guys were TOUGH!!! Like on the way to Devon's we paid $1200, on the way back we paid $500. Both were Route taxi's too. I kinda got sick of being taken advantage of. Like if I only had $1000 bill to pay they would say they have no change.  It really pissed me off and I had to get more aggressive with my negotiating and turn down rides if they wouldn't come down to my price.
