Winston-Salem

And then it's the other turnaround.

And yes, you got a home game, but as you said, you're only going to Winston-Salem.

It's at Wake, and then you host Miami.

So some difficult opponents in that stretch, absolutely, but the way the schedule forms itself right there is very doable for the Tar Heels.

So we already had the Power Stone qualifier, but House of Cards has their Reality Stone qualifier.

That's a stone event in Winston-Salem, September 19th.

And then October 17th, the Space Stone is going to be at Atomic Empire in Durham.

And then Saturday, November 14th, Waterloo in Virginia is going to be hosting the Soul Stone event.

I went off to North Carolina School of the Arts, which is a very unique and beautiful school and program.

It's about two hours from Asheville, North Carolina in Winston-Salem.

I was finally really safe and I had agency.

It was small agency, right? It's like going off to college, but I took everything I owned with me, which of course wasn't a whole lot.

So just having known Darius for that long.

But I would also say, after they hit, I think you were in Winston-Salem on New Year's Eve, okay? And it's a big gig, and Toad, the wet sprocket, was also there, and we stopped at like...

whatever it was that the band was playing late they stopped and go we're on we're on uh um you know the the new year's eve dick clark show right now and we they stopped and watched themselves on the big screen because it was pre-taped you know on new year's eve and it was like that's really cool

well you know what's even cooler is the next year i was with you mark you played the hard rock On New Year's Eve, 1996, that night in the 97, I found my ticket stub the other day, dude, because you're one of my 28 most influential bands of my life.

It's not like there's no demand.

And it takes the pressure off of these, you know, people having to go from, you know, Montreal to Cincinnati to Winston-Salem to New York.

All right.

It just.

And this is postgame peep for the second week in a row.

We've got to be a little calm, right? I think next week going up to Winston-Salem, playing against Wake Forest, the first real test, right? Already talking to some people around the program.

Wake Forest is a well-respected opponent.

It's a team in the ACC that, you know, historically has been – One of the better teams as Miami continues to drive down the field here.

A lot of you have asked me if I'm going to Alabama and I am.

So I'll be in Auburn for two events, then Dothan and Fairhope, then back to Spartanburg, South Carolina, Winston-Salem for the Bookmarks Festival.

Then I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.

And then California.

uh...

it was the first time the really i guess well along with world-class wrestling and uh... getting the syndicated show out of the sport or even really having a dynamite production but now all of a sudden the t.v. was bigger just like everything else was instead of being in a television studio in raleigh or in winston-salem or high point or whatever now they could go to places around charlotte sixty or seventy mile radius the high school and college gyms where you could draw 1,000 people or 1,500 people.

Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Rock Hill, South Carolina, Gaffney.

We're about 1,400 people, four stoplights.

We're about 25 miles east of Winston-Salem and about 12 miles west of Mount Airy, which is Andy Griffin's hometown, and 100 miles north of Charlotte on the Virginia border.

Surry County, North Carolina.

And so
