Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Former Destiny’s Child member Letoya Luckett is hosting a meet-and-greet at Pop Life — the nightlife event sponsored by Creative Loafing and The Sol Kitchen — tonight.

Luckett is in town promoting her second album Lady Love, which hit stores June 23.

Along with the appearance by Luckett, there’s also a ton of other stuff going on at Pop Life tonight: makeup services for the ladies (and, hey, dudes if that’s your thing), a special “buzz party” for the American Black Film Festival, movie pass giveaways, a listening party for the new Leela James CD, drink specials and more. It all pops off at 6 p.m. at Apostrophe Lounge, 1440 S. Tryon (across from Amos’ Southend). And, as always, it’s free!

Hey, what are you waiting for? Bring your a$$!

In the meantime, check out this behind-the-scenes video of Luckett in action:
