I haven't decided how cool this is or not. Whatever the case they put a Guinness cap on it, so I thought it was worth mentioning. Seems you could figure out some way to do this without this setup. Beer and bikes are always cool.

New Years In Chapel Hill, NC
Arrived in Raleigh on Sunday. Went to a pub called Linda's. They had real cheap Sunday night specials. A pint of Guinness and a Yuengling were both only five bucks. Grabbed a six pack of Hop Devil IPA afterward at a liquor store called TJ's. Really nice not to deal with Texas alcohol restrictions. Not being able to buy beer at a store when you can buy it a bar always seemed stupid to me.
Awoke the next morning to my girlfriend surprising me with the news I would be going to an NHL game. Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Islanders were playing in Raleigh. Very cool. We (Liz, friend Cate,and I) sat next to a media booth. Inside the booth was an inaugural era Dallas Stars home sweater. I felt right at home even though I was amongst a sea of red Canes fans. All the red gave the eerie feeling I was at a Detroit home game. Grabbed a Sierra Nevada Pale and some popcorn. Checked a line-up list. I always look for former Dallas Stars for whom to cheer. The first period was uneventful as neither team scored. The Canes played an undisciplined game and they were penalized for it. The Islanders stung them three time quickly with power play goals. John Grahame was pulled and replaced with Cam Ward in net. I found Billy Guerin's number 13 on the line-up list and mentioned to Liz to look out for him. Seconds later he scored on on Cam. I was happy, although the majority of those in attendance were not.
Left Raleigh to attend a dance party at a basement bar called Hell. What better way to usher in the New Year then in the depths of Hell. Good time, cold Guinness. Stopped by a house party briefly. Grabbed some late night pizza and ventured home.
After a Waffle House breakfast. We spent the day checking out the lovely town of Chapel Hill. Stopped in to a music store called School Kids. Then caught Walk Hard at the Varsity Theater. Later that night we stopped at bar made of some old rail cars. Really cozy place to drink an a cold Carolina night.
I must acknowledge NC looks like an awesome place to ride a bike. All the bicyclist I've seen seem to have really wide smiles. We are gonna check out some bike shops today: The Clean Machine and The Bicycle Chain.
I fly back to Texas tonight.
