Here’s your chance to help three guys achieve their dream of opening up a brewery in right here in downtown Raleigh on W. Davie Street. They are now 3 years into their project and have decided to use the popular website, Kickstarter as their platform to raise money in order to complete the brewery. They need to reach $35,000 in pledges by February 17th in order to receive funding for Crank Arm Brewing Co. As of today, they have just 5 days to raise a little over $8,000 to reach their goal. Should they fall short of their goal, everyone that pledged their support will keep their money and Crank Arm Brewing Co. will have to look elsewhere for funding.

Though I would share this hilarious photo that someone posted on Facebook today. Made me think of my most recent post about the Titanic Exhibit at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
It’s been a hundred years, but the sinking of the world’s largest ship of its time on April 15, 1912 has never been forgotten. The story of the Titanic’s maiden voyage is legendary; now is your chance to experience the wonder and tragedy of the “ship of dreams” right here in Raleigh.
From now until April 28, 2013, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition will showcase 200 artifacts retrieved from the wreck site of Titanic at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. Museum goers will be able to take on the identity of a real passenger onboard Titanic as they explore re-creations of the ships interior. The purpose of RMS Titanic, Inc. who is conducting the exhibit is to faithfully and respectfully preserve the memory of Titanic and of all who sailed with her. Tickets are on sale now and range from 8 to 14 dollars.
