Digable Planets at Purple Gator

We rolled out of Chapel Hill on a Wednesday afternoon, and made it to our first destination, Myrtle Beach, S.C., before 10 pm that night. See, the Digable Planets were playing there, at this bizarre little club called the Purple Gator. They were on a mini-tour of the Carolinas, playing Wilmington the following night and Winston Salem the night after that.


But our paths crossed with theirs in Myrtle, and they were the shit. The crowd was totally biracial, white people and black people, partying together in harmony.
