Though I don't technically live in Carrboro, regrettably this site and song is fairly representative of my, uh, hood.http://www.itscarrboro.com/

Initially, I assumed it was some awful hippie rap, then I slowly began to laugh...by the time they got to the "Open Eye Cafe/cool to be gay" couplet, I dubbed them geniuses and hold that work in high praise, if for nothing more than making it past their living room.
According to a friend who saw it, it was described as 'female drama.'
and from the side:
People seem to get shot at the not-officially-sanctioned "After Chill" every year. The official "Apple Chill" is now officially cancelled as a result. (and also because local businesses complained it hurts their sales)
It's so funny that Apple Chill is basically a lame, boring family-oriented pottery-and-hotdogs event, while the After Chill is on some get-hyphy ghostride your motorcycle while packing a glock drunk shit just a block away. Yin and Yang for real.
