DEL.ICIO.USYou know it’s big when Al Roker is here
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s 6:09 a.m., and WXIA-TV meterologist Flip Spiceland is going over the lineup for “11 Alive News Today.”
“Steve will do the Roker cut-ins, and I’ll do the cheap gas story, right?” he says into his microphone.
Spiceland, one of the few people inside the Georgia Aquarium at this hour, is in the main atrium under a sign reading “Georgia Explorer: Discover Our Coast.”
On the other side of a curved wall, 50 radio contest winners are eager to get inside for a front-row seat at the “Today” show. NBC’s Matt Lauer and Al Roker are broadcasting from the aquarium this morning.
“I’m a scuba diver, so this is way cool,” said Dollie Villa, 56, of Smyrna.
Her pal, property manager Helen Smith, had her thoughts elsewhere.
“I’m hoping to get a kiss on each cheek — one from Matt and one from Al,” Smith said.
