I know there was some good interest from my post last season, so I thought I’d throw this out for skeeson 2. Come join, it’s a lot of fun – and good people, too!
Check out this Skee4All blog post for the details on Raleigh’s Skeeson 2 kick-off.

I ran into Well I Do Declare while a few members of the Y.E.S! exec board and I were doing some planning during Happy Hour(s) at Fosters tonight and she asked me if I had ever found out how much the Megatickets are this year.
Well, no, I hadn’t seen/heard the prices anywhere, but we finally got a postcard in the mail today (and I mean finally – the presale DID start today after all) with our renewal code.
They are $179.00 for the renewal, $30.95 for the fee, and that makes them $209.95 total. It’s $34.99 per show for 6 shows. If it was JUST that, I’d probably buy them. But it’s darn near impossible to coordinate a tailgate for less than $50 (ice, booze, food, grilling supplies).
Oh what to do, what to do!
I love that George Strait (aka: THE MAN) is on the schedule, but I’ve seen Toby, Rascal and Kenny every year for the last few and they don’t change that much.
To be totally honest, Kenny’s show was no good last year. Loved him and loved the pirates theme, but the mics were screwy and it sounded like crap on the half-empty lawn.
As Lisa S. wrote in a MySpace post today, “it is expensive being me”. Amen, sister!
Free Bar Crawl: Friday, March 26!
Stop by McDonald’s in Cary/Apex if you can today!
Missed the details? Here they are in my previous post – “Calling All Raleigh/Cary/Apex Readers“.
From the City of Raleigh eNews:
“Home Made Simple,” a show on the cable television network TLC (The Learning Channel) is in Raleigh to film six episodes.
Producers are looking for Raleigh residents to feature on the show. The show features three types of people:
* Volunteers who help others in the community;
* People who have recently or are currently overcoming adversity and need a “little pick-me-up”; and,
* People who need assistance organizing to homes to host a dinner party, book club meeting, fundraisers or other event.
To nominate yourself or someone else to appear on “Home Made Simple,” email the following information to Andrea_Levine@discovery.com:
* Name of the nominee;
* Contact information for the nominee;
* The nominee’s story (i.e., always giving to others, needs help planning an event, adversity faced);
* Pictures of the nominee’s family and their home.
If you are unable to email the information, Ms. Levine, the show’s casting producer, can be reached at (617) 777-3934.
“Home Made Simple” airs on Saturdays at noon on TLC, which is cable Channel 39 on Time Warner Cable.
Know how I mentioned my excitement and love for Brewskee-Ball before?
Well, in the interest of full disclaimer, I think it’s important to note the following: my team is no kind of good.
Second disclaimer: we’re only no kind of good when we need to be. I rolled about a billion hundos (100’s) AFTER our game just goofing off last week. Must be the high stress of having to perform when it matters.
We will not go 0-8, Rollin’ Skiiirty (mid-season name change has yet to be approved by the commish) WILL experience the sweet, sweet taste of victory this week. Promise.
In other news, looks as if Skeeson 2 will be starting very soon after the conclusion of Skeeson 1.
If any of you Raleighs want to join up for the next, drop me a note!
Bring your own team or come as individuals… it doesn’t matter – it’s all about the good time, good drinks, and good people.
Oh fair Carolina Cup… how you’ve alluded me all through undergrad (always being the same weekend as sorority initiation). Rest assured, I will be prepped to the t’s and tailgating with my favorites alongside a horse race that many will never see this year though.
I was SUPER excited to see a Facebook update today from the Carolina Cup Racing Association with the following note:
Time to start thinking about what you’re going to wrap yourselves in at the Cup this year! Stayed tuned for my latest picks for this season’s hottest Cup outfits!!!!!!!!
PS – In addition to facebook, you can also find them on MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube. Nice job on the social media marketing, y’all!
