The BDO Classic Canadian Open gets underway tonight, and there’s a new dedicated event webpage, located here. Check out things like the live scoreboard, the Kevin Martin blog, the Ambassadors section, and the first webisode of the brand-new Capital One Curlers Corner, hosted by Mike Harris (above).
Awesome old photos of bad 1980s moustaches! Boo-ya!
There’s lots of other stuff going on, such as:
• Joe loves TV curling; but he’s forgotten the Le Gruyere European Championships, with a whack of TV and webstreamed content starting on Saturday. There’s also a cool TV promo available at the event website ... but, then again, Eurosport.com coverage might be geo-blocked outside of Europe, so watch for that possibility ...
• Speaking of TV curling, TSN just announced that the Casino Rama Skins – of which The Curling News is a media partner – will be broadcast in High-Definition. This will mark the first-ever high-def show for curling in North America (March’s women’s worlds in Aomori was high-def in Japan) ...
• Guilty! And three years for this chump ...
• Remember Canada’s girls from Balgonie? They’re back ...
• Some nice photos of the U.S. Wheelchair Curling Trials located here ...

If interested, contact Kathy at 766-5301 or Clayton 584-0101 ...

• Quote of the week comes from the Townie Bastard, who says:
Yes, have a chuckle at the notion of roving gangs of irate curlers. You can laugh right up until they come for you, my friend. Then you will learn fear ...
