From across the Triangle we’ve pulled experts of all kinds to help try to solve this burning question. Bring a date or who knows, maybe even find one at this month’s RTP 180. The show will start at 6pm, with free local brews flowing and tasty food following the lightening talks. Hope to see you then!
