Bookmark and Share

"American Idol" finalist Anoop Desai is home in Chapel Hill after a Top 6 finish on the hit TV show.

Desai will meet with fans from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday at Robert's Lounge at the Franklin Hotel, according to a releease from the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau. Then on Monday both UNC and the town of Chapel Hill have declared “Anoop Day.”

From 5:30 to 7 p.m. a reception will be hosted by the General Alumni Association at the Carolina Club. Chancellor Holden Thorp will express his thanks to Desai on behalf of the university. Doug Dibbert, President of General Alumni Association, will speak on behalf of GAA. The event is open to the public.

“At the reception, his friends and family will speak briefly about Anoop, outlining the ‘Idol’ journey and what a great friend he is to so many,” friend Chris Melly said in the release. 

At 7 p.m., Desai will head to Chapel Hill Town Hall where Mayor Kevin Foy and the Chapel Hill Town Council will present a proclamation declaring May 4 "Anoop Day in Chapel Hill" and hand Desai a key to the city.

Buttons and posters congratulating Anoop have been produced by the Visitors Bureau, a marketing agency funded by Orange County and the town of Chapel Hill.

“These are free and we want all businesses to display these posters and wear the buttons,” said Laurie Paolicelli, director. Residents and business owners may stop by the office at 501 W. Franklin St. for buttons and posters. Or call 968-2060.

You mean cause you're full of yourself.

I forgot to mentiion

I'm also a killer cook and a really good ping pong player.

Taken

He's also married, ladies, so forget about it.

kudos to Anoop & solar power

The Los Angeles Times reports that "American Idol" finalists Anoop Desai and Lil Rounds joined City Council President Eric Garcetti on April 25 for the official presentation of a new 1.36 kW system at the Camino Nuevo Charter Academy's high school campus. The new system is identical to one used by Fox to power the red carpet events for the 2008 finale of "American Idol."

(The system on my house is bigger, but, on the other hand I don't sing all that well.)

??????????

What's the point by mentioning that you have a bigger system?

Cause I'm hipper than Fox

I've got a bigger garden than Anoop, too.

Marcoplos day

in Bingham township....Perhaps we can get a Mapel View ice cream flavor named after you.

Just call it...

Humble Pie

UNC, Chapel Hill declare Monday "Anoop Day"

Instead of playing publicity house, Chancellor
Holden Thorp should be spending the time
figuring out how to pay for UNC academic needs.

Huh

"Congratulations to Mr. Desai on his excellent achievement."

He finished 6-7th place in a singing contest.

Lasted longer than I would

Lasted longer than I would have.

So..........

So he deserves his own day because he lasted longer than you could have?

Are they going to give equal

Are they going to give equal celebratory pause to the Krunchy Kats?

Help me out

It is inappropriate for UNC and the Town to celebrate the achievements of a memebr of the UNC-Chapel Hill community?

Congratulations to Mr. Desai on his excellent achievement.

...

Really. Anoop Day.

You guys really are Chapel "Thrill," aren't you?
