The State says that while 34,000 wristbands were sold St Pats in Five Points, as many as 50,000 people were likely there if you count the areas that don't sell wristbands.

Lupe Fiasco and Gym Class Heroes are performing at the Kroger Center April 10. I think its just for USC students though. Got my ticket! Only $5!

[krazeeboi]

I sure wouldn't mind seeing Lupe Fiasco in concert. His CD is the truth.

[TheCarolinaKing]

Yeah that would be nice..."Kick push, kick push, kick push, kick push...COAST!" And I am quite fond of Gym Class Heros..."Take a look at myyyy girlfriend .....Lada-da-da!

Here's the entire schedule for the Columbia Festival of the Arts. I'll make it either this weekend or next weekend hopefully.

John Mccain is having his whole presidential bid thing tonight... but I say everyone boycott it because theres a bunch of people standing out front of Adluh flying confederate battle flags (note how that is not capitalized).

Some people are determind to ruin the image of SC and more importantly Columbia.

[krazeeboi]

Oh geesh. Why is it that people in SC are more determined to hold on to the past?

[sonofaque86]

I think we should build a time machine and zap their asses back to the 1800s

[krazeeboi]

I think they'd be most happy there.

[TheCarolinaKing]

I saw that mess going on...I think that truly was distasteful. Old men waving confederate flags, all while the dem. party debates were taking place in the area.

Can you put a rush on that time machine?

[waccamatt]

On a more fun note, I saw Nunsense - Amen at Trustus on Thursday night and it was hilarious. I highly recommend it. Trustus is the only professional theatre in both Carolinas.

I wanna go, but by the time i went to get a ticket, they were asking $100 for the sucky seats way in the back. I'll just wait on the dvd. Luckily I've seen here before so I'm not terribly dissapointed. I prefer looking at Michelle and Kelly anyway!

[803metlife]

It's that time of the year!!!! On Oct,8 at 7:00pm the Colonial Center will be hosting The New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76'ers. NBA exhibition game. This is a must see game!!! Tickets are now on sale!!!

[digihoop]

This could be interesting, but could also very well backfire on Mayor Bob...

Colbert to be honored by Mayor Coble Sunday at University

[Spartan]

Did Colbert go to Carolina?

[krazeeboi]
