Merch It Up!
It's every 5 years instead of every 4, but the Merge Records anniversary showcases are probably the closest thing that the Chapel Hill rock scene has to a festive, once-in-a-blue-moon, bring-on-the-out-of-towners political convention. This year the official Merge festivities have expanded to include not only the Sunday show at the Carolina Theatre in Durham but also a free Wednesday night show at the Local 506 and a free Friday afternoon screening of Looking For Leonard at the Carolina Theatre in Chapel Hill. But every good political convention has unofficial events and parties that spring up around it, and as someone who once helped plan such a Mergefest-timed event, I feel that it is my duty to help try and get the word out about "Merchfest", a free show that my friends at The Merch are putting on tomorrow night at the Local 506. I'm hoping that there will be some free or very cheap T-shirts available, maybe even a new one with the word "Merch" in that familiar Merge font...
