Is there anyone else out there who thinks Gordon Brown looks like Terry Jones? The pictures in their Wikipedia articles don't look much alike, unfortunately. Root through someimages if you like.
There's an Artist's Studio tour going on for the next couple weekends in Wake Forest, east of Durham. Some studios are less than 20 miles from me. The tour's WWW site has details, including a PDF with artist locations and dates for September. Studios will be open the weekend of the 12th-13th, the 19th-20th, or both (some are only open one weekend). Times: from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and 1 pm to 5 pm on Sunday. There are 20-30 artists involved in different media.
There's a central hub for the tour in the middle of the town of Wake Forest. They open one hour each day before the tour. You can get maps and refreshments there, and view samples of some work. Most of the artists' studios are within 7 miles of the hub. They suggest driving to the hub and planning out your trip.
Edit: video from WTVD and WRAL. And, for what it's worth, I doubt that any of the people I imagine are behind this actually owns a paintball gun, or any type of gun at all. It's not that type of neighborhood.
... which may not mean so much, as only some items are exempt. But you should probably take advantage of it if you can, especially since our taxes are going to be going up anyway. :( The big surprise is that textbooks (PDF alert) are exempt. Computers are the big one, with an upper limit of $3,500.00, plus computer accessories with a lower limit. The first link above has links to multiple PDFs from the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Happy reading, or something. You've got until Sunday night at midnight.
