Vowels From Durham
Each spring of the past decade has revealed some sort of nationally recognized hero from the area. Whether it was a team going deeply into hockey or basketball playoffs, or an American Idol contestant going far, spring has been a fun season for the Piedmont region of North Carolina. I guess our karma for this coming year was spent when the Tar Heels won it all, the Hurricanes reached the final four, and Anoop Desai reached American Idol’s Top 7.
This year the Hurricanes are near the cellar in the NHL, the Heels may not make the Big Dance, and AI is featuring this mess. There are no words to describe it. In fact, there hardly are any words at all; just vowels. Meet Kenny from Durham.

Widespread Panic
shows scheduled for Walnut Creek are so early in the season, they simply must be the season openers. Right? The last time I saw Widespread was in the basement of the DKE house at Carolina. They were pretty darned good. Maybe one day they’ll amount to something. (whah!).

2002 Carolina Hurricanes Video Intro
There is a lot of sharing going on these days of the Alaska Nanooks hockey team’s video intro , but I’m still partial to the 2002 intro of the Carolina Hurricanes:
Busy Day at RBC Center
Today is another one of those double-days at the RBC Center. N.C. State will host N.C. Central at 2pm. Then at 7pm the Carolina Hurricanes will host the Chicago Blackhawks. This means that arena crews will have 2 hours to conduct the changeover from basketball to hockey. Oh, did I mention that Governor Perdue has issued a State of Emergency and urges everyone to stay at home due to the state’s taxed highway patrol? "It is going to be very difficult for us to make roads safe and passable,” state Department of Transportation engineer Steve Halsey told WRAL.
As mentioned below, NCSU’s game will be streamed on the internet. The Hurricanes game, however, will be carried on Fox Sports South, so we’ll see how many fans are in the stands as the 23 degree day moves into night.
