Why anyone with a brain would plan anything this big (convention) outdoors in September in North Carolina are really stoopid.
Sure hoping that holds true Thursday night.
that Saloon is racist.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Here are the FIVE dishiest things – DNC-wise – we heard about Thursday:
• 1. Word is that the Veep – aka Joe Biden – may be staying in an Eastover estate next week.
He’ll be motorcading his way to BofA Stadium on Thursday night, when he’ll speak before POTUS.
• 2. A slew of celebs are confirmed for the three VIP events sponsored by the Creative Coalition, an advocacy group for the entertainment biz. Among the attendees: Patricia Arquette, Alfre Woodard, John Leguizamo, Beau Bridges, Rose Byrne, Tim Daly and Tony Shalhoub.
But our fav: Wayne Knight, Seinfeld’s nemesis on THE greatest of sitcoms. Say it with me: “Hello, Newman.”
• 3. “The Daily Show” has decided on a theme for its shows at Charlotte’s ImaginOn. Ready? “DNC 2012: Hope and Change 2.”
• 4 . “Hug-A-Thug,” the N.C. AFL-CIO is calling it. On Labor Day, at uptown’s CarolinaFest, union members will give out free hugs – the tongue-in-cheek “thug” label is meant to break down stereotypes of union members.
• 5. This from our wacky neighbors in that other Carolina: VisitMyrtleBeach.com had 15.5 tons of S.C. sand dropped at the EpiCentre this week.
No, not for the protesters. For “Team Sandtastic” – four sand sculptors who will create a 16-foot-high work of art outside the Blackfinn Saloon that sponsors say will be “mighty presidential.”

So, you want to be the one who tells Obie ?; “we better not do that bigger-than-life sand sculpture of you. “
