RTP-area local music and culture

["Phil Hammond" <xlate AT yahoo.com>]

Bar snacks, $3 draft beers, objections from the floor as to what constitutes 
a "New York Artist". Yes, just another typical night at Local 506 Music 
Trivia, and we'll be having another one this Sunday, October 1st, at or 
around 8PM. The competition has intensified recently, with a couple of new 
teams (including a 2-person team who did better than most 4-person teams) 
looking to dethrone The No Wave Hookers and Team Sparks. Nevertheless, Team 
Sparks regained the crown on September 17th (photo here:

it's anybody's game this Sunday.
