Serving Up Excitement at the Family Circle Cup
April 13, 2010
Once a year, a fever grips the Charleston suburb of Daniel Island… Family Circle Cup fever! It is one of the few times a year that the D.I. maintenance department doesn’t roll up the streets at night, and the party is ON, yo!
For over 35 years, the greatest names in women’s tennis have battled it out on the Family Circle courts, from Chrissy and Martina to Venus and Serena. Since 2000, the Family Circle Cup has made its home on Daniel Island.
Some Highlights of this year’s events, running now through April 18, include:
- Monday night: Meet the cast of Army Wives! Yes, I know this happened yesterday. I would have reported this sooner, but I didn’t want a whole crowd of twitchy stalkers (like me) obstructing my view of Army Wives hottie Catherine Bell! Suckers.
- Wednesday is Mohawk Flooring Night. Um, what? Anyway, kids dressed like pirates will get a gift certificate to Queen Anne’s Revenge. Actual pirates are disqualified due to some past unpleasantness involving pillage and plunder. Arrr!
- Saturday Night, it’s “Game. Set. Rock – Tennis Amplified!” Highlights are a rock concert by the Blue Dogs and a John McEnroe look-alike contest. So put on your best ‘fro wig and headband - and start practicing your vilest profanities! I mean, seriously – the #$%@!& ball was a foot over the #$%&!* line!
- Also, there’s TENNIS! Thought I should mention that.
All kidding aside, The Family Circle Cup is one of uniquely Charleston events, and it happens just once a year. So get thee to Daniel Island, before your boss bogarts all the VIP seats!
