Say hello if you go to Raleigh Wide Open
Tomorrow is a big day for downtown Raleigh. The $221 million convention center officially opens. A noon ribbon-cutting starts things off, followed by two days of celebration with Raleigh Wide Open. Check out the full list of free events, which includes a Chuck Berry concert and more.
I’ll pretty much be living downtown for the next two days because I don’t want to miss a thing. If you’re going to check out the convention center this weekend, be sure to stop by the 30THREADS/MyNC.com booths. They’ll be in front of the motorcoaches parked in the 150,000 square-foot exhibit hall.
But if you’re stuck at work tomorrow and can’t see the ribbon cutting, don’t worry, we’re bringing it to you. We’ll be live streaming the event at noon tomorrow on the 30THREADS live page. We’ll also be providing updates throughout the afternoon.
Then on Saturday, I’ll be back again in the morning and early afternoon. So stop by and say hello. Don’t be a stranger.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Sugar, Mosadi, The Moaners and The Modern Skirts. Wonder if TTA will provide travel for this beast. I might half-day it tommorow for the International Festival.
And curb my mancrush for David Pirner.

The new convention center is awesome, and it is really exciting to see all the changes going on in Raleigh downtown. The international festival was a treat, lots of different foods and people excited to explain them to you.
Meeting the area businesses was great too, I didn’t know so much existed in the area, and of course, it was great meeting you guys and learning about 30threads.
