I've been deluged with announcements of New Year's stuff at work. There's also:

Cat's Cradle--the Bad Checks, Flat Duo Jets, Family Dollar Pharaohs
Local 506--The Amazing Delores and Trailer Bride
The Cave--Lee Gildersleeve and the Bad Dog Blues Band.
Scramble Dog--Trinity Road (blues)
Berkeley Cafe--Skeeter Brandon and Highway 61
Alive--Jam Pain Society and Nothing Face
FOXY New Year's Ball at the Omni Durham Hotel--Rose Royce
Cappers Restaurant & Tavern--Unknown Tongues (Cajun/Zydeco)
Top of the Hill--New Year's on the Hill, a benefit for the North Carolina
Jaycee Burn Center. 
Marrz--dancing and sloppy pick-up lines.
Have a Nice Day Cafe--yukky '70s music.
Washington Duke Inn--Chip Fredenburg Swing Orchestra. ($85 per person[!])
North Carolina Symphony: Viennese New Year's Eve at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium

I think Gotham, Top of the Town, Plum Crazy, and Players are also doing stuff.

In other news, the people at Learningsmith have absolutely no sense of humor
about that whole "Tickle Me Elmo" thing. Not a bit.

Remember: Santa wants YOU to consume this Christmas.

Hugs,
