 20060724 Haha from Fort Wayne
Both the The Onion and The Daily Show reported from Fort Wayne this week.First, Doyle Redland from The Onion's Radio News details Fort Wayne's new fountain that simulates a vomiting lion. The audio is here. Then, The Daily Show sent correspondant Dan Bakkedahl to Fort Wayne to do a story on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s list of potential terrorist targets. Indiana has the distinction of having the most: 8,591. They filmed their bits at the beloved Roller Dome, the backdrop for many of my roller-hockey games and middle-school romances. It will air July 31 or August 1st. via Mitch at FWOb. UPDATE: See the Daily Show clip here. Labels: Fort Wayne 7

jeff said... I once had the high score on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game at that roller dome. 7:55 PM Mari Sheibley said... OOOOH....which rollerdome? The one behind Putt Putt or the one near the Coliseum? Are they both still around? 9:21 AM Zach said... I'm guessing the one down South, behind Putt Putt. 9:42 AM said... It was at Roller Dome North, the original rink near the Coliseum, actually closer to the mall. So, I watched the show the last 3 nights and it wasn't on. Does anyone know when it will be on the show? 11:38 PM Zach said... The Journal-Gazette reports that it will be on tonight, Aug 3rd. 1:36 PM said... According to the family it has been bumped several times but should air on the 9th or 10th. 11:50 PM said... still wasn't on. What;s the deal? 1:29 AM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
