RTP-area local music and culture

If you want danger, have you considered 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks a 
year in your local National Guard? I hear smokes are cheap at the PX ;-)

I don't even think it's the hardcore pack-a-day smokers like Hepler who 
are the primary problem, it's the freaking "I only smoke when I go to 
bars" smokers who don't even inhale, they just light the fucking thing 
and then hold it at arm's length & periodically practice their 
ash-flicking skills. There are probably 2 of them for every 1 Hepler.

And the hardcore smokers are used to being forced to go stand in the 
rain to smoke, because they've been doing it at work for years now. The 
fashion smokers haven't had the opportunity to be trained . . .

Hey Dave, how about we nonsmokers cede the Irish Pubs to you & your 
smoking posse? I'd happily let you have the James Joyce and The Bull 
McCabe's forever & ever amen. I hear the Joyce is even having bands now 
& then nowadays . . .
