Thank You Greensboro!

For making last night's Spelling Bea Arthur so very EPIC!

Last night's spellers, spelling spectators, and even the people who just thought they were going to go to the Flat to drink, did Greensboro proud and broke a HypePipe Citywide Spelling Bea Arthur participation record. The Flat Iron was packed to the gills with old school and new school SPELLING FOOLS. Prizes were awarded after several intense rounds of head to head spelling and even Al Gore smiled upon the evening from his mansion in Tennessee. In a word, it was EPIC.

Thank you Greensboro!!!!

Looking Forward

The inaugural season of PALS begins this fall. Just letting you know.

In case you weren't aware, PALS is the funniest Internet sitcom about Greensboro ever made. Earlier this summer, we got our sweaty little hands on this clip of the opening credits, and we haven't been able to put it down since. Keep your ears to the grounds people, because come September, Greensboro will be spelled P-A-L-S.

Thank U Greensboro Word Supporters!

Last night's SECOND EVER HypePipe Spelling Bea (Arthur) was, we will daringly proclaim, a bigger, bolder, more flavorful event than the last one! Thank u for spelling and spectating- we love you. And to show our appreciation (cause you know those photos won't be up for at least another year or two) we give you a very special treat.

Feist Up Your Ass

We can't even tell you, dear readers, how happy it makes us to see HYPE PIPE in print. Even if it's not in Yes Weekly (holla, bishes).

And we also can't tell you how much we loved seeing Feist! She rocked our buttholes, as promised and our hands are essentially raw from clapping so much. The haircuts and tight pants on Greene Street were enough to make us think we were in Carrboro but we're too lazy and illiterate to leave Guilford County, so we knew we were still in the G-spot. Here are some tips for attending future shows at Carolina Theatre, the pride of Greensboro.

How to Attend a Concert at Carolina Theatre:

Drink beer

Sit as close to the front as you can, even if it's not
your assigned seat, until a music docent asks you to leave

Shake your fist and growl loudly if anyone asks you to leave your seat
(YOUR ass was there first, don't give up without a fight)

Drink beer in your seat, it's allowed!

Bounce up and down in your seat

Talk about everyone else at the concert/show

When it is quiet, yell out that you want to hump a member of the band

Clap and scream like you have a piece of raw ginger in your ass

Go to the bathroom during songs you don't like as much

And above all- rock out with your GREENSBORO out

Thanks to everyone who made it out for last week's Spelling Bea (Arthur). Give us microphones and signs and we will give you a night of hot spelling action. Spellers and non-spellers alike made it an occasion to remember. And if we ever forget, we'll just do it again. THANK YOU!
