This week the summer series begins to come to a close with The Seventh Seal.  If the impending end of the summer series has you bummed, don’t worry.  You have the rest of September, but there is a bevvy of great film noir headed your way for the fall.  NCMA Film Curator Laura Boyes gives us a look at whats in store.  Additional film notes are available on Laura Boyes website. Jump on in for the sneak peek!

Thursday nights at Tir Na Nog are full of great Rock N Roll once again in September. All dates this month are free except for the 18th which is the kickoff show for the SparkCon Festival. This show is $4 but will definitely be worth it. Full Schedule below the fold.

You may not have made it to any of the recent concert benefits for Cy Rawls, but if you still want to help out, there is a great opportunity tonight.  Help the cancer victim and work that steel trap mind in a rousing game of Triva.  Match wits against the hippest and brightest that Raleigh has to offer at Riviera tonight at 9pm.
