Carolina, North Carolina, or Tar-Heel State) would make searching for events in a specific area relatively easy.

While I enjoy reading about and perusing pictures of distant events (and will continue to do so), sometimes I just want to quickly see if there's anything happening locally this weekend.

Actually, now that we have subcats per state, the threads are already sorted by state. click the flag up top, scroll down towards the bottom, and viola.

Yes, the curmudgeon smily could be The Wizard of BC throwing his coffee cup at you.

Sorry, Sathor, you lost me - what flag up top?

Wait - I see the state categories on kilt nights

Doesn't help on games & concerts, though…

That will never happen. Steve's coffee cup is permanently attached to his hand.

And I would never waste a good cup of coffee.

In fact throwing out perfectly good coffee is the only Universal Capital Crime.

And granting cup space or spending money on bad coffee is almost as bad.

I have had some bad coffee recently. The 'high voltage' stuff from Speedway tasted like really cheap instant. yuck. I think I had a coupon, I would never buy that again.

Oops, sorry. Make that The Wizard of BC throwing someone else's empty coffee mug at you while carefully holding his own cup of coffee for the curmudgeon smiley.

Or how about this for the curmudgeon smiley. The Wizard sipping his coffee while shaking his fist at you with an angry look in his eyes.
