For the Love of Hate: Tobacco Road Cruise 2/5

It's high-hoops season in the Triangle. This cooky ACC fundamentalism crescendos 2/6 with the first installment of the Tobacco Road Classic (A.K.A. Carolina v. Duke). Local author Bill Blyth says of the rivalry, "To hate like this is to be happy forever".

The night b/f the game (2/5) join other haters for a Cruiser-Tuesday bicycle tailgate/pep rally at Johnny's (901 W. Main) in Sha-Carrboro. The market is now open on the back side of La Tienda. Wear your chosen shade of blue and don't bring your Visa but do BYOB cuz the ABC permit is still pending there. The rally begins at 7pm.
