The Smoky Mountain News reported a wonky legislative function:

State government officials joined tribal leaders Friday evening for the unveiling of a new 3,000-seat event center at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino & Hotel.

Among other features of the expansion, the Indian Country News reports:

The gaming floor will double in size with a noodle bar and games targeting Asian gamblers who are increasingly visiting nearby cities like Atlanta.

Festivities for the unveiling included concerts by Hank Williams, Jr. and Lady Antebellum. Lady Antebellum recently received a Grammy award for a song that irritates me so much lyrically, I think it should be made our national anthem. Lines include:

It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now.

Evidently a lot of human capital out there can relate to this level of citizenship.
