WIDR 89.1 FM
Tune in to 89.1 FM TODAY during the noon hour for a conversation with the vice president (“vice skip,” as we like to say around here) regarding the Kalamazoo Curling Club, the 2010 Curling Nationals, the Olympics and all things curling. If you miss it, just check back later on the Nonchalant Café Hour’s web site, where you’ll more than likely be able to hear it again at your leisure.

Operation Recycle

Operation Recycle
Olympic curling won’t get underway until the 16th of February (see our full listing of curling at the Vancouver games), so you have a little bit of time to kill until you can watch curling in earnest. While you’re waiting, have a try at “Operation Recycle.” It’s a silly game of curling where the Olympic mascots try to curl recycling bins of paper, glass and plastic onto a target. Cheap thrills… and your kids might like it too…

The Science of Curling

Lots of people ask… why sweep? Why is the ice weird? Why all the yelling? Here’s a video that helps to explain the sport — and the science behind the sport — to people who are curious to know more… The Olympics are 3 days away!

USA vs CANADA

The Kalamazoo Curling Club’s social secretary tells us that there is talk of getting people together to be happy and social while watching Team USA take on Team Canada on Monday, February 22nd at noon. We will be meeting at the Icehouse restaurant located at Wings Stadium. Curling play will be well underway, and this match could have important ramifications. No need to RSVP, as there will be plenty of room for everyone… so bring a friend and have a long lunch hour with the Kalamazoo Curling Club!

Olympic Fever!

Kent Elliott and Bronze Medal Curler Joe Polo
As we start to get all fired up about the Winter Olympics (now just a week away!), our minds go back to a time during the summer of 2009 when bronze medalist Joe Polo from the 2006 US Olympic team came out to Kalamazoo. Our illustrious leader, Kent Elliott, was able to spend a little time with Joe at the legendary Tiki Bar on an island not too far from Kalamazoo. We’re looking very much forward to spending some time with some more US Curling medalists in the not too distant future… no pressure, Mr. Shuster!
