BEST OF PARTY!
The next time someone says to me, “There’s nothing to do in Charlotte!” I am going to offer them some cheese with their wine, then ask them what they’re smoking.

Yesterday afternoon at 1 p.m. I couldn’t even get to Kinkos for work because there’s a full-fledged festival going on in a church parking lot on East Boulevard. As in the Yiasou Greek Festival. Meanwhile, last night Nelly performed live on MySpace…from the Neighborhood Theatre in NoDa. There’s almost too much to do in Charlotte… (more…)

As you probably noticed, the Sunset Club closed for renovations about the same time Suite opened. Well, they didn’t just renovate the club, they also renovated the ownership. Panther’s player Jason Kyle was bought out by the owners of the mansion where the infamous Lucid Dreams party was held.

I actually went there to visit the set of the photo shoot of the new and improved Sunset Club advertisement that is running in the Loaf as we speak, or type rather. The shoot was more like a party with cameras and a glam squad.

The said photo shoot was arranged to promote the club’s re-opening scheduled for this weekend. They used the actual furniture from the Sunset Club on the shoot and used members as models. In other words, what you see in the ad is what you get. (more…)

It can be assumed that an event coordinated by “Don’t Hate Productions” is a don’t hate, congregate kind of occasion. As in a non-alcoholic, diverse type of event for which everyone is culturally coexisting and chillin’. Said occasion was Battle Slam Jam at Grayson State Park last Saturday.

The event merged two entirely different cultures by combining two athletic arts – skateboarding and break dancing. (more…)

In a land far, far away… down Tryon there is a little sushi spot called Wang King.
They have half price sushi night, every night. I asked them what was in their Mango Chicken and the waitress just shrugged her shoulders like she had no idea what chicken even was. “We do white meat for you,” she responded. Yikes.

So I clicked my heals together and chanted: “There’s no place like Nikko, there’s no place like Nikko.”

Cause there’s really not… in Charlotte at least. And despite the fact that the see-and-be-seen swank restaurants with equally beautiful people and plate presentation are a lot like pretty girls: a dime a dozen – even in Charlotte.

But Nikkos stands out. It has character… literally. (more…)

We have a winner!

I gave away 2 Executive Suite, V.I.P tickets to John Mayer & Paramore for tomorrow night at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre.

Well all they had to do is complete a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded in 2.5 minutes. Just kidding – all the winner did was e-mail me and told me which Anheuser-Busch beer I sampled when I went to MACS for Bike Night… information for which you can find within my previously posted blog: Mac Daddys.

Stay tuned to qcvibes.com for your chance to win more free tickets and V.I.P access.

“Since Brittney won’t come out of retirement we had to make her a judge,” said Brandii McCoy, the director and choreographer of the Bobcats dance team before the start of the first round of auditions for the Lady Cats.

And coming from her, I took that as the biggest compliment – and perhaps the biggest honor to be invited to judge her auditions. I, like, idolize this woman in terms of dancing.

I only wish we did her style of choreography on the Panthers field. And I wish I had the honor of dancing for Brandii. But in all honesty, I probably couldn’t even make her team. (more…)

The EpiCentre has a country bar and an upscale lounge – and now, it has a sports bar-rant. It’s like a Fox and the Hound that serves seafood.

In the 10 minutes I was in there on Friday night’s soft opening, I heard 50 Cent, George Straight and AC/DC, which was more random than a mix tape.

There wasn’t necessarily a dance floor, but people were tossing their partners to and fro, doing some form of country swing dance. And surprisingly, I wasn’t even involved. (more…)

She was a big star at Banana Joe’s Bar where she sang karaoke every night… And Jamie Leigh was a big star at Whisky River where she performed the other night.

96.9 The Kat had a battle of the bands where the victors garnered the opportunity (or once in a lifetime opportunity rather) to open up for Kenny Chesney on his Poet and Pirates tour when it sails into Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on Aug. 21. Not to mention $25,000. (more…)
