I voted for Wilmington. But I could do a road trip to Raleigh. It's only about 2 hours away for me. Yeah sounds like fun.

So will there be any PC geek activities? Like a LAN party or OC contest or maybe a check out my tricked out, modded, windowed, LED lights out the ass, computer show? :laugh:

Hey now, I heart Jersey! I can't come the 13-14, I have to go to Kansas for a baby shower.. hopefully you pick the other choice!
 
You guys can stay at my buddy Mike's house. I'll try and let him know before you show up. 😛

back when I was banging, Moore Square area had some decent bars, (Pour House, Tir na Nog, Greenshields) now the old town Glenwood Ave area has been yuppified, so there's more to do in that area. Bars, fancy-pants restaurants, etc. I honestly don't know where the spots are these days. It's been at least 5 years since I've spent any real time there. A lot has happened since then.

There's always the Brownstone on Hillsborough street, right next to NCSU campus. Velvet Cloak is a bit nicer and right next to that. Not too sure about pricing, but they are centrally located in town, and very close to pretty much whatever there is to do in Raleighwood. lots of bars on that street, of course. pretty dead street though. Sucks, actually, for a college street. 🙁

Mitch's is on Hillsborough, however. Probably my favorite bar in the area. Old school, somewhat seedy, nothing special. Less douchebags; well, at least it was back when I was bangin' Bull Durham was filmed there (bar fight scene). Player's Retreat is just as old and way more seedy. Just across from the Brownstone. May be perfect for the type of scum that hangs around here 😀

Overall, I'd recommend a place like Greenshields. They have their own brews (a great porter, iirc) and it's a decent-sized place. Decent food, good for large or small gatherings. Not too spendy either.

If all else fails, there's always Thee Doll House (though I think it has a new name) 😉 But maybe the Foxxy Lady is more AT's speed.... 😱

good idea.

someone sticky this, or else we'll have to bump it. a lot.
I guarantee you this, once this gets stickified, someone will bump it.

 
Pima, if you are seriously driving 9.5 hours to meet nerds on the internet, you are brave! I am 4 hours away and not going 😀
