There's a pretty nifty club in Carrboro, NC too. It would also be sweet if they would tack on Greenville, Columbia, Athens & Atlanta. :-)

Hey can anyone comment on whether "The Caul" is any good?
Funny there is evidence of me saying I missed seeing them play in 2010, but no word from me about the time I DID get to see them around the same time... was it just a dream?
