sorry to jump back to venue-talk, i didn't see the next page.

To get more general tho, I'd like to say that generally I think of all
Triangle bands together, as opposed to focusing on the differences
between the 3 points. The differences are fascinating, and I
definitely appreciate the personality of having your own, semi-
exclusive community ("Durham Rocks!"). But Carrboro/Chapel Hill//
Durham/Raleigh are SO close. I'd like to think it could be one scene.
Power in numbers and all that.

If anything it'd just be easier for me. When I do the Backyard BBQ I
never know where the hell everyone is from, so I just say Chapel Hill,
or "around here".
