RTP-area local music and culture

[Thom Wiley <monkeyboythom AT gmail.com>]

How was the show? It was too butt-freezing cold for me and my truck to
make it all the way to Raleigh.

It is true that Dave likes to stand close to the music; I do too. At
the triangle shows I've been to, the ones I watch out for are these
same two crazy kids who stand right down front and make out the whole
time. In front of everyone. Geez, will they ever get a room?
