8 Years of Hell
Hard to believe that one of Chapel Hill's coolest bars is turning 8 years old. I'm not sure that anybody, not even Hell's employees or owners, seriously expected the place to last so long in such a transient town. And yet Hell is still here in 2005...and it's still red-hot. If you don't believe me, listen to the lustful hedonists at Maxim, who declared Hell their "Bar of the Month" in January 2004. Or revisit the poignant Hell testimonial that Dave Thomas penned for a 2001 issue of The Independent. It's only a few paragraphs but it manages to capture the essence of what so many of us love about Hell.
The "Hell of a Month" anniversary events are already kicking into full gear. I won't mention them all here, but you can visit Hell's under-construction web site for a detailed schedule. This coming Saturday (April 9th) is the big 8th Anniversary dance party, and legal whiz T.I. and I are already charging up the Bueno Love Baller Soundsystem in preparation for 5+ hours of non-stop party jamz. Maybe it's just the amazing spring weather that we're currently having, or the fact that everyone in town still seems to be on a huge high from Monday night, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this might be the biggest Hell dance party ever. Doors open at 9pm, so get there early and be ready to bring the party!!
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the traditional 8th anniversary gift is bronze. Someone really oughtta tip those bartenders with a medal...
