Deep Holiday Funk

Today is the day for the enjoyment of day off celebration eating times goodness. Rest in Peace James Brown, the holiest of all holy soul rollers. Such a coincidence that we just had Jjak Hogan from Augusta come up for FrequeNC night (they absolutely killed it, ask any of the lucky few who were there; best hip-hop group I've ever seen live). As the Godfather of Soul from Augusta, GA dies, we are introduced to the hottest of hot shit from the town of the same name. The Nightlight Core heralds the arrival of 2007 from the Big Easy and await the beginning of the Year of the Pig, which probably means that Aaron and Jenks will have to play once a week at Nightlight.

LUV4nightlight

We now have a freely open discussion board called LUV4nightlight. Its format will be familiar to the users of i heart noise and other ezboards. It's wide open; post to your hearts content. Since the board is only in its infancy, we only have one General Discussion forum. Perhaps over time, if there is enough interest, we can have special issue specific boards to discuss topics like fat cats or doritos.

manifesto

This has been quite a time. The price of gas has us wondering whether retreating to the isolation of rural america with handheld weapons is a prudent choice. Our food is contaminated. Our troops die by the dozen and our president chooses to ignore the truth.
Fear not.
We at the Nightlight still believe in the *power* of heart, mind, and soul, put forth for the world to see in a free and open spirit with an uninhibited display of creativity, imagination, and mirth. The magic lies in the path of beauty, which is found in each of us each time we step from the normal to the imagined.

We commend you! Come help us continue a tradition that began two years ago. What is sought is a night to remind us that each beautiful person should step out, dance, freak, and shout that we can make it happen, we can change the world through our love of life and pushing boundaries! That night is Friday.

The last Creativeimprovisationmas, for those who missed it, culminated in a legendary street parade which had 60 participants according to the Chapel Hill Police Dept. The aforementioned CHPD, who shut the thing down once the paraders got to the Post Office, have found many opportunities to shut down our music making. THEY HAVE NOT SHUT DOWN OUR SPIRIT!

A parade in the streets will follow afterward, so bring instruments, noisemakers, costumes, colors, shapes, sizes, and your open heart. Humor, quirks, laughs, and love will shape the night and with this energy will come a new tomorrow predicated on zeal and pointing us towards the beginning of the rest of our beautiful lives.

It's here that Nightlight trolls and ponies will be posting and sharing information about shows, the club, Chapel Hill town council meetings, recipes, stretching, demon spawn, secrets, gossip, updates on the illuminati, and crystal healing, among other subjects. This is your new home on the internet - bookmark it, homepage it, burn your TV remote.
