Who's the best bartender in Raleigh?

I have a whole host of folks I want to nominate, and if you go out as much as I do, I'm sure you have a few names too.

Nominate them HERE.

Vote for Crap-Rock Allstars

Greensboro's Crap-Rock Allstars -- which is a pretty good band despite the name -- is involved in the Austin City Limits "The Sound and The Jury" contest, which gives bands a shot at appearing in the ACL Music Festival. They're pretty far down on the list right now, so go vote for them. We can't let them get beat by a band called Girl Fart.
