Greensboro, NC -- The Bistro is currently engulfed in "southern snowstorm," easily surpassing all previous accumulation totals since I moved here over two years ago. Personally, I haven't had much fun or success in the month of March; however, there are numerous events going on that could change all of that. First and foremost, there's only one card that could trump a "snow day," and that's a new album by U2! It's been over four years since their last album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. I'm extremely excited about the new album, No Line on the Horizon, to be released on Tuesday, March 3rd. Following Bistro tradition, I'll be purchasing the new album on Tuesday morning, and follow that up with incessant listening all week. While I have heard several cuts off the new album ("Magnificent" is my favorite), I hope to have a full review blogged right here sometime on Wednesday. As icing on the cake, U2 will be on David Letterman ALL WEEK LONG to promote the album, so be sure to tune-in!
Spring training has started, the WBC kicks off this week, and Jim Bowden has resigned. It's time for Mike R-to-the-IZZO, to step up and clean the dirt off of the Nationals organization... faster than he moved the Dominican Republican facility last week!
One bracket of the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament will be played here in Greensboro! I'll be attending some games whoever ends up playing here. I won't be attending the Women's ACC Tournament, which will be played here in Greensboro as well.
While St. Patrick's Day is on a Tuesday this year, Finnigan's Wake will be celebrating the day early at their annual St. Patrick's Day Festival on Pi Day (3.14). If it's anything like last year's event, it'll be a wonderful time, and yes JB, I'll be sure to give you a toast on that day as well.
Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, the W-S Dodgeball tournament starts on the 17th with the first and second rounds. The championship game will be on the following Tuesday, the 24th. Also in the neighborhood of elementary school sports, kickball launches at the end of the month... details to follow.
Hope everyone has a great March!
... out like a lamb!
