A couple of years ago, we created a townie listserv as a way for a group of tight friends to keep in touch through the busy week with witty banter and planning for our weekends. I actually think it started when five Carolina grads were lamenting that once we graduated, the listservs that kept us in the loop in college were no longer relevant. So we used our alumni status to create [thetowniecrew] that was dedicated to us sharing our lives and breaking up the boredom of a work week. It turned into an avenue for sharing youtube videos, posting ridiculous links, and deciphering whether the weather forecast would be a damper on our Friday plans.
On more than one occasion, our meeting up served as a catalyst for a night of unparalleled townie love-- starting with a happy hour in one place, moving down the street for dinner somewhere else, and numerous hops from thereafter.
Though we all live very different lives during the week (a teacher, a nurse, banking, PR, politics, and marketing), our listserv keeps us connected and makes sure that we find each other when the grind finally ends on Friday.
#Chapel Hill is still fun
