On the dancefloor with DJ SKi Daddy from Two T’s

The Derelickt Diva herself, Jojo

This past Sunday I traveled to Hargett Street, to check out the Derelikt Diva art show. It was part art show, part spoken word, and hip hop event with DJ Ski Daddy. The event was held in Club Kirocos, which is above Two T’s.

The event was a lot of fun, and had a great vibe. Jojo (the derelikt diva) put the event on herself, which is even more impressive. To find out more about her artwork, visit her myspace page.

This is the island that is sandwiched in between Hillsborough St., West St., and Edenton St. I’ve often driven by and been puzzled as to why there is a chain link fence around a section of it. I’ve even walked by on a few occasions and poked around, and I didn’t see any evidence as to what the fence is currently or was formerly protecting. The only thing on the island is a sign that says something like “parking for sight and sound only”.
Does anyone know what used to be here? It seems a bit out of place currently.

Perhaps one of Raleigh’s best hidden treasures is The Rockford. If you are in the mood for a martini or other cocktail in a casual but not too casual environment with good music playing, this is the place to be.

This is my favorite place to go for a martini.

Located at 320 1/2 Glenwood Ave, but don’t look for a sign. There isn’t one.
