Ralph Byrns says goodbye

Ralph Byrns has a Ph.D. in eco-

universities — but many things in
life still baffle him.
And while Byrns admitted
Wednesday that he doesn’t under-

annual Carolina Chiron Award

to offer the crowd.
Byrns, who has been at the
University since 2001 but is leaving
for Arizona next year, spoke on the
lessons he has drawn from his life
experiences and his time at UNC.

The Nightlight has never been
afraid to get weird. A glimpse at the
beloved local venue’s website proves
just as much — scattered between
touring acts and local pop and rock

fans who frequent it look ahead to
an uncertain future.
Alexis Mastromichalis, the
Nightlight’s owner, has been
around to see plenty of changes
since she took over in 2004.
“Every year something changes,”
she said. “The biggest change is
probably obviously transitioning
from Skylight Exchange and get-

Initially, the club shared its dth/joseph chapman

the transition was a welcome one.
“I always would play a show
there and then I’d get a cold or
something afterwards,” said Dan
McGee, Spider Bags’ guitarist and
vocalist. “It’s nice that they cleared
all that out. It’s a cool place.”
The atmosphere might have
shifted, but one thing has been
a constant in the venue’s past —
its support of fringe arts, be they
visual, sonic or somewhere in
between.
“I like that there’s a venue where
you can just go and see noise music.
The Nightlight’s always been the
noise venue in town,” McGee said.
