Just wanted to make sure yall were aware of some of the events here at North Hills this week. Thursday, the Midtown Music Shag Series continues with a performance by the Catalinas from 6:00-8:30pm. Everyone I’ve talked to has had a great time the last two weeks, so I’m sure this week will be just as fun. The only thing to keep in mind this week is that you are NOT allowed to bring your own coolers/drinks anymore…guess they want you to buy drinks. Since they’re putting on these events for free, you can’t really complain about this.

On Saturday night North Hills will play host to a really unique fashion event called Strut 2008. The event features fashion and designers that have local ties, and there will be a full runway and red carpet entrance. Organizers expect to sell out all 750 tickets, which range in price from $25 to $100 (all the $100 front row seats are gone already). The News and Observer recently did a nice write up on the event that you can read here, or you can see more details at the official Strut 08 website.

This will be filmed and turned into a 90-minute TV special airing Saturday May 10 at 8pm on CW 22. I’m not that knowledgeable about fashion in Raleigh, but I think this is a pretty interesting event for Raleigh and North Hills, and I look forward to seeing how it goes.
