THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 14

John Gillespie spins anecdotes from his life for Mister Diplomat, the improvised show inspired by the personal stories of local celebrities. Last week a sold out crowd cheered Big Fish Author Daniel Wallace and we are proud to host John Gillespie this weekend. John has been a fixture of the Chapel Hill music scene since 1987, when he met Elaine Tola in a Comparative Literature class at UNC-Chapel Hill. The two formed Nikki Meets the Hibachi. The band was hugely popular in Chapel Hill, and earned airplay across the country, evenutally landing on the CMJ Top 100 College chart. Nikki Meets the Hibachi is still active today, and is currently re-mastering their 1992 album The Bluest Sky for re-release. John has been teaching English at East Chapel Hill High School for the last ten years, and is also a veteran of other local bands Kickball and Two Fish Blue.
