![]() (just the) "Carrboro" Entries Acme's Tomato Festival This Weekend in Carrboro July 11, 2008 If you're in the Raleigh-Durham Triangle area this weekend, try to get out to Acme in Carrboro for a dinner. Single best meal I've ever had was back in 2005 when we stumbled upon it by accident. Was away at Clarion in 2006 and learned the dates after the fact last year. Dinner for two is in the That's all. Just a heads up. *MORNING AFTER EDIT: I didn't recall correctly (IDRC) or maybe I was thinking of brunch. It's been a while. Dinner for two's more like $40-50 before wine, tip, and/or appetizers. I heartily recommend the fried green tomato napoleon thing and the shrimp pasta. Looking forward to the leftovers today.
Carrboro Hill Returns as Empty Shell of the Wiki it Once Was June 20, 2007 Carrboro Hill (community wiki for Chapel Hill, Carrboro, etc.) is finally restored, but I'm de-emphasizing it as an active project. Call this moving it from public beta to pseudopublic beta. Or just ignore it.Growth will continue to be slow as Telltale, Guidevines, and my own writing are higher priorities. But I still think it's a good enough idea to let it live and let others use and edit it (or at least copy the data under the CCL and redo it right). And I won't be staying away completely.
I'll be a Guest at Trinoc*coN 2007 June 18, 2007 So I'll be a guest at Trinoc*coN in Raleigh, NC, August 3-5. I haven't asked to do any readings (next year, maybe), but I should be on a few panels, maybe even with Literary Guest of Honor George R. R. Martin. Which, yes, would be cool. I emailed them shortly before the 2005 convention in Durham, asked if they needed anyone to fill a panel or two. It was too late in the game, and last year I was out of town for the convention. But just a few days before I was planning to contact them again, they emailed me and asked whether I was still interested. It'll be my first convention experience as a guest.
