    Haha. Nice bump. Glad to be going back to see how Raleigh has changed in 8 years. Any food recs?
    Unfortunately the venue is kinda on the outskirts of town so unless you wanna go downtown there aren't a ton of options.

    I will say though that the corner of Chatham and Maynard in Cary is close and has TONS of awesome restaurants if you're into International stuff -- several different Indian restaurants, Jamaican, Baghdad bakery, multiple Chinese joints (diff regions) etc.

    There's a decent barbecue place nearby -- ole time barbecue. Classic old school bbq joint for sweet tea and alll the soul.

    Right next to the venue there is a brand new restaurant called the local that just opened -- haven't been yet. A lot of people pregame events at Bru's and walk over to the venue -- there's a tunnel that goes under the street.

    ^ when I was at NC State I washed dishes at Ole Time Barbecue 😆 It was my job to load 300lbs of meat on the grill every afternoon for them to use to next day. I made $6/hr

    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.
