The Vent - 5/19/13
CW NEVIUS > In Norway the Super Bowl is played on skis
Sent to Norway for the Olympic Games I was plunged into sub zero temperatures, an unexpected cultural gap, and a sporting event so epic that all of Norway stopped to watch. Over 100,000 spectators camped overnight in the snow to watch their national heroes, their national sport, their passion cross country skiing. And the result was so thrilling, so down-to-the-finish line tense, and so unexpected, that there are fans right now who say, with a straight face, that it was the greatest race in Olympic history.
HOWARD PETRICK > Five Men, Four Guns
As soon as I opened the door I knew this night was going to be different. The four men in ski masks were strange, but the automatic weapons they were pointing at me. . .Shit, this is going to fuck up my breakfast!
KARINDA DOBBINS > You're in the Wrong Room
As a black woman working in biotech, Karinda is a master of assimilation, non-threatening confrontation and pretending to like food without flavor. The situations she finds herself in are amusing and unbelievable. Navigating in a corporate environment where everyday someone challenges her intellectual fitness, she is about to drop a dumbbell on their assumptions.
WILL & DEBI DURST > Two Flies in the Ointment
During the Clinton administration fabled SF comedians Will and Debi Durst attended a party at the White House. They found a way of making it fun. Together they will take you inside the white house for a look at a presidential party.
KURT BODDEN > 15-Year-Old on a Ten-Speed
When Kurt was 15, his parents did the unthinkable: they let him spend four days riding his bike 200-plus miles across a couple of states he barely knew ... all by himself.New England hills and orange Tang, friendly strangers and self-reliance,flat tires and a Catholic priest. Wait, what was that last one?
