Goose returned for the second night of Goosemas XI at the North Charleston Coliseum and delivered even more twists and turns. They kept fans on their toes with an unpredictable set, despite revisiting a theme they had executed multiple times before. The night featured numerous first-time-played covers, as well as a bingo ball marked "D+B+Flamingos." DJ Marb Menthols made an appearance, and the evening concluded perfectly with a Grateful Dead encore.

Prior to the Goosemas event, Goose randomly generated 12,000 bingo cards that corresponded to balls in the giant bingo machine behind them on stage. Fans signed up to receive a card, which was scored in real-time by the band's software. One of our friends had "D+B+Flamingos" on their card, so we had an inkling that flamingos might make an appearance. Our card had "Chakras," which was never selected, leaving us curious about what that might have entailed.

The second night began much like the first, with the band walking on stage to "Sirius," also known as the Chicago Bulls' entry music, by the Alan Parsons Project. All five band members wore the same costumes as the night before: guitarist Rick Mitarotonda as Bob Seger, multi-instrumentalist Peter Anspach as George Harrison, percussionist Jeff Arevalo as Dickey Betts, bassist Trevor Weekz as Rick James, and drummer Cotter Ellis as Elton John. They were joined by MC Lucky Lou, who selected the bingo balls while hamming it up on stage in a Southern drawl and an Elvis-inspired jumpsuit.

Lucky Lou selected "Madhuvan" as the first ball, sparking a sixteen-minute jam that explored many directions early on. The band certainly came out swinging. "Borne" followed, with Lucky Lou quietly selecting "Bonus Ball 5" during the tune. They then transitioned into "Slip Slidin' Away" by Paul Simon, the first of many first-time-played tunes of the evening.

The newer tune "One In, One Out" was plucked from the bingo machine, launching the band into a mellow jam that soon gained momentum. Lucky Lou selected "D+B+Flamingos," and within seconds, two massive inflatable flamingo floatation devices appeared near the photo pit. The crowd seized the moment, passing one flamingo back before it was recalled. Both Mitarotonda and Anspach hopped onto the giant pink flamingos and crowd-surfed Andy Frasco-style into the audience. They made it about halfway back before turning around, with Anspach falling off at one point. Both musicians were all smiles, as were the fans, who savored every moment. Oh, and did we mention that Weekz, Ellis, and Arevolo kept playing a killer surf-inspired groove throughout this wild adventure?

The band soldiered on as Mitarotonda and Anspach returned and received the "14 Minute Jam" bingo ball. Without stopping, they ventured into type-two territory with an epic jam that absolutely deserves a re-listen. The juicy funk jam transitioned impressively into "Rockdale," with Anspach shining on the clav. This slow-burn funk groove quickly morphed into a powerful closing jam, with Mitarotonda in full face-melting mode..

Goose returned for round two, joined by Lucky Lou, who pulled "All I Need" from the bingo machine. The band began with the slow, melodic version, but it was short-lived as another bingo ball directed the music into "Creatures." An up-tempo, dark jam followed, venturing into the EDM space.

This eventually transitioned into a shorter "Empress of Organos." Bonus Ball #5 was chosen during the jam, leading to Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes' "Don't Leave Me This Way." This first-time-played tune ignited a disco inferno, enhanced by an epic light show courtesy of Lighting Director Andrew Goedde. The band significantly elevated their lighting game for Goosemas, featuring a massive light cube suspended above the crowd.

The disco dance party wasn't quite over as Bonus Ball #3 was selected, leading to "Get Down Tonight" by KC and the Sunshine Band. Lucky Lou lent a hand with percussion during this '70s classic, while Anspach added layers of clavinet to the raucous jam that followed. At one point, the band teased "That's The Way (I Like It)" before launching into soaring jam-rock peaks to conclude this first-time-played cover.

"Atlas Dogs" came next, gaining momentum before quickly segueing into "Echo of a Rose." This version was shorter than a typical "Echo," but it packed no less of a punch. During this jam, the "$ Ready" ball was selected, leading to the first verse and chorus of "Slow Ready" before transitioning back into "So Ready." The jam ultimately returned to "Slow Ready" territory, closing out this incredible set.

The band returned for an encore, delivering what could be considered a third set. "Dripfield" was the last ball drawn from the oversized bingo machine, and this fast version made the selection even sweeter. The music ventured into a darker jam, accompanied by staff shooting shirts from cannons into the crowd. DJ Marb Menthols, aka Weekz, also made an appearance, complete with turntables. He unleashed jungle beats, temporarily transforming the room into an EDM throwdown. This jam is one we highly recommend revisiting. DJ Marb Menthols will also be playing a set at Viva El Gonzo in May 2025.

The music was not over as Goose delved into "Help on the Way" by the Grateful Dead. The loud reaction from the crowd indicated their joy at this first-time-played selection. The psychedelic music flowed seamlessly into its companion piece, "Slipknot!," before transitioning masterfully into "Franklin's Tower." Goose truly made these songs their own, bringing smiles to many faces. The band then directed the jam back into "Empress," ending this powerful encore on a high note.

Goose will be back in action on December 30th-31st in Austin, TX, for their year-end festivities. Tickets for the first night are available via this link. They will also be in San Jose Del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico, from May 8th to 10th for Vivo El Gonzo. Visit this link for more details.

Boeing has announced it is committing to expanding its Charleston, South Carolina operation creating 500 new jobs.

Charleston is home to the production of Dreamliners, where the complete cycle of fabrication and assembly through to delivery takes place for 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10 aircraft.

Boeing’s plans include expanding both of its North Charleston campuses, located at 5400 International Blvd. and 9775 Patriot Blvd., to allow it to support increased 787 Dreamliner production as well as future-proofing for potential rate increases.

Boeing already plans to increase Dreamliner production to 10 aircraft per month by 2026.

The Charleston operation employs 7,800 people across its Airport and North Campuses in North Charleston, and its West Campus in Orangeburg sites.

“Since the creation of Boeing South Carolina in 2009, we’ve marked many important milestones – including consolidating 787 Dreamliner production to South Carolina. I’m thrilled for this next phase of growth, which is made possible by our incredible teammates and the confidence our customers have in our airplanes. This decision reflects Boeing’s commitment to the workforce, the 787 program and the community. We are building a legacy at BSC, for ourselves and for future generations in the Palmetto State.” said Vice President and General Manager of the 787 Program and BSC Site Leader Scott Stocker

The total investment is valued at $1 billion.

Gov. Henry McMaster added: “Boeing’s decision to expand in Charleston County further solidifies South Carolina’s position as a leader in the aerospace industry. This significant investment and the 500 new jobs it will bring to the Lowcountry reflect Boeing’s confidence in our workforce and highlights the strength of our pro-business environment. We look forward to continuing to build our partnership and the opportunities this expansion will bring to our state.”–

Dec 12 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab said on Thursday it plans to spend $1 billion to support increased production of its 787 Dreamliner widebody jets, as the U.S. planemaker works to meet an earlier output target of 10 a month by 2026.

Boeing plans to expand operations at its Charleston County, South Carolina, facility with the $1 billion investment in infrastructure upgrades and the creation of 500 new jobs over five years, the planemaker said in a joint announcement with the South Carolina Department of Commerce.

The investment and expansion lay the groundwork for "potential future rate increases driven by market demand," Boeing said. The U.S. planemaker faces pressure from European rival Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab which has announced plans to raise output of its competing A350 to 12 a month by 2028.

After a prolonged lull, demand for widebody planes is accelerating sharply as airlines renew capacity as demand grows for international travel.

Boeing is trying to ramp up plane output to generate needed cash, after a crippling strike this autumn halted production of all but its Dreamliner jets.

Boeing's announcement reaffirms an earlier target of 10 Dreamliner jets a month announced during a company investor day in 2022. Hitting that rate would be a steep climb for the planemaker, given existing production levels and challenges as Boeing wrestles with manufacturing quality problems.

Boeing has been trying to bring 787 production back to a rate of five a month by the end of 2024, after scaling back output earlier this year due to supply-chain delays in getting seats and heat exchangers. Boeing has said its 787 production rate was five per month during the last quarter of 2023.

Dal'mont Gourdine playing at UConn, celebrating after making a play.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Dal'mont Gourdine is the standard bearer in more ways than one. His family, neighborhood, and high school all should be proud.

By the sounds of it, North Charleston-born and raised Gourdine could be the mayor of Storrs, Connecticut, after five years of playing football for the UConn Huskies.

"The people are very welcoming," he said. "They want to get to know you. Coach Hurley [is] over there across the street. Real cool dude - got to know him. Chopped it up plenty of times. The whole university. I know the president."

He's made UConn his home. When others "portal'ed" to the next spot, the only chasing he did was opposing quarterbacks.

"My game plan going forward is NFL," he said. "Main goal on top of the main goal since I was a youngin'."

That very well could happen. But with what he's already accomplished – it doesn't much matter.

"Where we come from in North Charleston, not many take that next step and next level to go where the family wants them to go," he said. "We probably had eight graduation tickets, but I had to go back to people and say I have like 20 graduation tickets. I have people coming from North Charleston up here. The university helped me get those tickets for the people, who spent the weekend up here."

His college career is now over. A foot injury at practice late in the season forced surgery. He won't play in the upcoming Fenway Bowl against UNC. He's every bit a part of getting them there. You bet he'll be in Boston for it.

"Waking up at 4:30 a.m. to go to workouts and train," he said. "I'm happy for this team. The guys, the coaches, the families around this team. When things went left, we got them right during the season."

He's also the last of his kind. The final Garrett Tech Falcon to fly. The final athlete from the now-shuttered high school off of Dorchester Road.

"I think about it all the time," he said. "We always talk about high school, what is your HS doing this Friday? I never join in the conversation because I don't have a high school anymore. Garrett is gone. Last athlete, something I can hold my head on. I'm the last to ever do it at the school. Before they built CCSD, I tried to contact the people to get my name on there that I was the last one to do it."

He may not have to ask for that in Storrs, Connecticut.
