  Sunday - 9/3 - Neu Romance - One day Chico, social hornet, idea huntsman, bartender aka dJ Madcow, gathered up some equipment, a crew of djs and decided he wanted to have a night when you could hear trip-hop, hip-hop, ibiza chill, house, d n'b, soul, reggae, everything all in one night and leave romanced.  Hence the name of the night, Neu Romance.  Then he started flashing his ‘this is what it’s all about’ card to everyone.  The result was a Sunday night gig which produced a far better time in the city than most nights, including weekends.  That was around three years ago and now, the party is over.  Almost.  Tonight is the last night and I can definitely say that every Sunday evening has provided something to get down to.  Throughout this time we've soaked up live jazz, bangin' house music, homemade dip, random fits of dancing, old stinky soul music with fried fish, creatively frenzied dialogues, Castro's j-j-j-jams, Yolanda's superbly enthused nature and ruckus or the
 horrible marathon pool players grinning over a lucky bank shot.  During this time it has never mattered what state your hair is in, what kind of music you like or think you like or even if you have money for the $1 beer.  Neu Romance set the most laid-back, non-pretentious yet selective vibe around town to not have a tattoo design.  Whatever that means to you, I think you should join the rest of us downtown acolytes to show the NR crew some love.  Because after this Sundays will never be the same.  But try not cry in your drink, bartop dancing awaits.  Kings Barcade, 424 S. McDowell, Downtown Raleigh - www.kingsbarcade.com
