Forum for Chapel Hill Mayor and Town Council candidates at Chapel Hill Town Hall

As noted by the Daily Tar Heel, it's OrangePolitics' second birthday, and we will celebrating in Hell. They will be serving a special beverage called the OP - it's mostly orange but it's got some red in it. ;-)

You can come either during or after the Sierra Club forum (which will be televised at the bar), but there is not likely to be Internet access, so you may want to stay above ground to witness Tom's unstoppable liveblogging, round 2.

(Anyone who wants to come but is not 21, get in touch with me before 7 pm and I will see what we can do.)
