Alley Oop's Treehouse
On a few memorable occasions during that irrationally exuberant period that was the late 1990s, some adventurous friends and I made like monkeys and climbed our way into The Treehouse. Back then, Alley Oop's Treehouse may very well have been Chapel Hill's most popular dance-oriented nightclub - a must-go spot for the fake-ID-carrying college kids who were looking for something newer and hipper than J.R. Reid's Players. Me, I just loved the place because they totally kicked out the jamz. And because it was always a pretty hilarious experience to venture into that jungle of a dancefloor and see all sorts of unknown creatures engaging in strange animal-like behaviors.
For years I have kept my mandatory Treehouse membership card as a souvenir of those good times. Tomorrow night, I get to take my Treehouse appreciation to a whole new level, as I have the honor of DJing there as part of a combination rock show/dance party. Yes, strange as it may seem, The Treehouse has actually started having rock shows on Thursday nights. Three weeks ago I was there and caught a great double-bill featuring Pegasus and Kerbloki. It was pretty funny to look around The Treehouse and see a roomful of people that one would typically expect to run into at Orange County Social Club.
Tomorrow night's show is a rockin' St. Patrick's Day extravaganza and it's going to feature at least 2 if not 3 of the following bands:
Living Dead (featuring Jake from Hell)
Kung Flude
Valient Thorr
I'll be DJing a little bit in between bands. And then the full-on dance party should kick into gear somewhere 'round midnight. Come rock out and celebrate St. Patrick's Day amidst the green foresty climes of a local dance institution!

Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about Walker's affinity for The Treehouse. I kept referring to a couple of his friends as "The Treehouse Dancers" for months after one of our collective visits...
