what to do this weekend: october 1-4
Sure, there are weekends that shep. and I sit around the apartment and drink beer and moan that there’s nothing to do; but that’s usually untrue, there’s just nothing we want to do. October, though — October is a month of riches here in the Triangle, and I’m going to try and remind you of…
worth getting up for: september

bristol rhythm & roots reunion 2010
Cost effective and bitchin’, as one of my coworkers would say. Happy 10th birthday, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion! You don’t look a day over seven. You were a highlight of 2009, and you brought it again in 2010. Can’t wait for 2011. “Was that your brother?” One of the best parts of the festival…
