Not enough for you? There are fun interactive maps to the clubs via the Google Maps API. (Last time I checked, it worked everywhere except for IE. It even halfway works in IE, except for the really kewl "get directions" part, which is broken. Maybe one day I'll care enough to fix it. Until then, get a better browser.)

Other ways to get this info:

1) The handheld-optimized version of the site, or a new simplified text version of this page, for you lo-fi fans.

2) An RSS feed. AND! A weekly oggcast! (OK, it's just my WXDU radio show.)

3) NEW! An iCal feed of all the listed shows, updated nightly.

4) This listing is posted once or twice a week to ch-scene, the mailing list which is itself a mirror of alt.music.chapel-hill.
