Globular Warming

Forget about melting polar icecaps, a much more immediate problem is the rink ice underneath the basketball court at the DCU center. Who could've possibly foreseen the REAL fallout from climate change?

Update: Video clips posted on YouTube by BoondyAlBoondy (links here and here) showing inside the DCU during and after the cancellation announcement.

too funny.. we were there. What a drag. But the hoodlums of Worcester made sure the DCU knew they were angry only after going to get kevin Garnetts signature.

I was there Friday night and I have to say that it was quite the scene. From the get go I noticed that security was minimal given the large attendance. Also, the vendors didn't seem well prepared; There were long lines, food was scarce and patience short. I almost felt as if they didn't want to make money.

While the staff at the DCU or the City can't do much about the weather I do hope that the condensation issues are a catalyst for a larger conversation about event management and preparation. The Celtics and other big name attractions are our hook for bringing people to Worcester - our goal should be to ensure that they leave having seen a great show and had a great experience.
