• The Rosebuds played a packed show at Slim’s

  Result 1

  I’ve yet to see the Rosebuds perform, which is apparently a sin if you’re a music fan in the Triangle. Lucky for me Karen Mann was there covering them for her fabulous music blog. I’ve listened to her video of “Get Up, Get Out” twice already today. I definitely missed a good show Wednesday night.

  I’ve waited my fair share of tables & worked as a barista through most of college, so I definitely appreciate the art of tipping. But not everyone does.

  If you ever ride the TTA to work then its possible your commute could get longer (or shorter) Dec. 1. That’s when TTA will move its regional bus transfer center out of RTP, the N&O reports (wow, I just used a lot of acronyms … my journalism professor would not be proud).

• Are you good at real life Rock Band?

  Result 7

  Discovered October 23, 2008 at 1:00 pm

  I’m jazzed because one of my friends just bought Rock Band 2, which means I’m about to be the lead singer in a new band of Tweeple. Blogger Lee Creighton also recently caught the Rock Band 2 bug. But even better, he has been playing his own real-life version of Rock Band for many years. [...]
