Do the DJ's on 96.1 count as celebrities?
That is indeed Raleigh you see in part of the Nickelback video.

Lewis Black of standup and Comedy Central fame has a place in Chapel Hill where he spends some of his time (probably the colder months). I believe his other place is in Hell's Kitchen in NYC.

David Sedaris comes here on most of his book tours. He often reads at Quail Ridge Books. Quail Ridge Books & Music Keep an eye on their calendar as it is often a mob scene. I saw him there about two years ago and the whole family turned out for the event, including Amy. I think Amy read here on the tour for her cookbook, too.
Quail Ridge also gets several other excellent local writers. I'm a big fan of mystery author Margaret Maron. Charles Frazier, the author of Cold Mountain, is also local. If you click "Local Authors" on the Quail Ridge site they have a full list.
The Regulator in Durham also gets a lot of readings by local authors. Regulator Bookshop |

By the way I cannot believe I forgot that they grew up in Raleigh *sigh*

Urbywan, if you don't care, THEN DON'T POST.
BTW, do you ever post something that isn't negative? |
