RTP-area local music and culture

[Kevin Slater <saulecker AT gmail.com>]

Growing up going to lots of shows I always found that if a show was  
listed as starting at 9:30 then 99% of the time it wouldn't REALLY  
start until 10:30.  With 2 opening bands (usually) this would mean  
that the headliner (who generally I was most interested in seeing)  
wasn't even going to go on until 12:30 at the earliest.  I lived my  
life showing up at venues at 11 and generally not missing anything.   
At age 14 I didn't mind getting home at 3 am and having to go to  
school the next morning.  At age 33 I can't seem to function any more  
past 11.

I have noticed that around here things are a little different and I  
generally show up when a show is scheduled to begin (if not a little  
earlier).
