Leaving the Museum of Life and Sciences' Science of Wine event last night, I will admit I was a…read morelittle star struck. What just happened, I thought to myself, as images of wine, cheese and tasty treats danced through my head. This was (*I think*) my fourth "After Hours" event at the Life and Science Museum, and by far the best. I learned some important tips attending this event: be ready to wait in line. These events are set up in a style where the vendors are all at tables and typically have conversations with each patron sampling their products. Lines usually move slowly. BUT [pro tip] you can jump from table to table! Most people wait in a long line as each patron has their interaction, leaving the following table sometimes completely empty, show some love and jump around! Second tip: as the night goes on, the event will become less crowded. But as the same time, it's important to show up on time because some activities must be signed up for and sign-ups might run out (grab a map when you check in and ask about any one-time activities). Third, take your time! These events are long for a reason, there's lot to see and do, don't rush yourself or feel overwhelmed by the long lines or crowds. I loved having the Wine and Design team at this event, it gave me a time to take a break from the lines (let them die out a little) and enjoy a little relaxed time (I painted a tiny hydrangea!) Now onto the vendors at this specific event: awesome! Although the pairing of wine to food was a little off at times, I feel that overall I was able to enjoy and try a huge variety of items including bread, cheese, mead, wine and chocolate. I loved the science experiments that were thrown in here and there along the way. I definitely didn't see everything, but you can't miss [in order of how I visited]: Starrlight Mead (their apple cider mead will make you re-think life choices), Southern Harvest Catering's artichoke dip (and super-taster science experiment), Escazu Artisan Chocolate's Pumpkin Seeds & Guajillo Chile chocolate bar and Southern Season's large array of wine, cheese, chocolates and meats (you really can't miss the Southern Season's table!!) And let's not forget Boulted Bread's fantastic toasted sesame seed bread, Chapel Hill Creamery and Boxcarr Handmade Cheese. Fair Game Beverage Company's peach wine and Chapel Hill Toffee. Oh and The Wine Feed (I could drink that Rose and Cava all night long!), not to mention The Little Dipper's dill and havarti cheese fondue which tasted like a crisp bottle of white! Throw in a little canned wine from Queen of Wines and some Sangria from Mystic Bourbon plus a little chemistry schooling on decanting vs. non decanting and your evening is made. Believe me, that just skims the surface. I got a fortune cookie from Lilly at the Yelp Table and it should've read, "you're in for the Yelp-tasticest evening of your wine and cheese loving-life!" Or something about having a fabulous night. What a great evening, highly recommend!

Perfect cheap evening to take the family. Their sodas are also only 9.00 for an unlimited amount at the self-service fountain station. Thankfully they have Poweraid too because it was literally 98 degrees and I had been drinking beer all day. The Durham Bulls have the benefit of being the background for the famous movie with Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon, so they definitely have the gift shops with the merchandise. 2 of my buddies bought "Lollygaggers" shirts. The beer selection was also impressive with at least 3 local breweries being served; Wicked weed, Noca, and Foothills. The ballpark is beautiful and the perfect urban minor league stadium,

The Baxter had a solid beer selection, though the game selection felt a bit limited compared to other barcades. We mostly stuck to pinball, then played a few rounds of pool (the table could use a little TLC). Overall, it was a fun stop and worth checking out, even if it wouldn't be my first pick for a barcade.

The blue and amber colored options were my favorites; the yellow less so. They had a variety of beer and cocktail selections. The space itself, was relatively open with four TV screens showcasing different gaming systems. If gaming systems aren't your thing, there were also board games and arcade style games. The staff was friendly and informed me that that they host different game nights, every day of the week. The prices were on bar with other bars in the area. You'll have to find street or deck parking -- both cost, depending on the time of day. Overall, a pretty cool experience with one of the first e-sports bars in the triangle area. Will definitely come back to check out the other drinks and other gaming systems.

Cocktails and Cosmonauts is such event, celebrating mankind's first trip into space and themed with all kinds of drink and food samples from local restaurants and distilleries. Guests are invited to sample astronaut ice cream, which I would describe as room temperature dip-n-dots, discover what would happen to a Peep marshmallow if it ventured up into space, sip creatively named cocktails from Alley Twenty-Six, TOPO distillery, Mystic Bourbon Liqueur and much more. There were also drinks for purchase (beer and wine) if you wanted more after your tastebuds were tempted. I LOVED that each cocktail crafter came up with a fancy name: The Milky Way Galaxy by On the Rocks and The Jupiter by Alley 26 were some of my favorites, and I loved seeing The Bothers Vilgalys and Mystic Bourbon giving out drinks as well. The worst drink was the most well known-- Space Dream: Tang, rum and vodka (they must've run out of liquor or something because I swear it just tasted like TANG!) I also enjoyed a pork sandwich from Porchetta, a local food truck parked outside the museum, although it was one of only two trucks at the event, hopefully they'll bring more food trucks out in the future. My favorite part of the night was definitely entering the blow up planetarium (the STARLAB!), sitting on the floor in my high heels and looking up at our incredible galaxy (even incredible in a blow-up planetarium). The presentation occurred every 20 minutes and a sign-up sheet was required as there was a 25 person max per showing. Luckily, we got into one of the last shows (it filled up quick!) and sat back, felt a little like a kid again, as we recognized the planets and were shown constellations. All in all, a fun evening and an event that I would be happy to attend again, thanks of course to Yelp for the tickets!
