Harrison Haynes to DJ Piedmont Dance Party

We tweeted this a couple weeks ago, but Piedmont is hosting a dance party at 10:30 p.m. this Friday, Oct. 2. But this isn’t just Piedmont filling the George’s late-night void. No. There’s some musical oomph behind this event in the form of the event’s disc jockey, known as DJ Blowing Rock. Who is that, you ask? None other than artist/Durham resident/Les Savy Fav’s Harrison Haynes. Sure, it’s fall break for Duke, but for anyone around, definitely check it out.

UPDATE: In unrelated but other cool LSF news, Les Savy Fav is on the Twitter.
