If you haven't ever been to a Dirty Mega party before ... it's your lucky week!
Dharma Lounge is having one of the always entertaining and fun Dirty Mega parties on Friday, July 8.
It's going to be a pre-party with popular Charlotte DJ T.P.D. turning it up out on the patio, along with a cookout. Free food will be out for anyone who gets there between 8:30 t0 9:30 p.m.
A high Ollie contest will kick off at 10 p.m. right after the Spawns of Gnar video premiere — so start practicing and get the chance to win $50.
The big cash prize is coming from something a little more creative. Make the best homemade bikini and you could take home $100 cash AND a $100 bar tab ... come on now, who could resist that! First place isn't the only person who will take home a prize, as second place will get $50 gift card to hot spot Niche.
Anyone who enters the contest late will still have a chance — a table with random items will be available to test your bikini-making skills. Feel free to add to the table and bring anything from around your house that you would want to see be made into a bikini.
Dirty mega party boys Thein, Lord Walrus and BLNGXBDGT will be there along with the host Stranger Day.
If you're 21 and older try and get in before 10 p.m. and the P/V Crew will buy you a shot! Drink specials include the normal $2 PBR, $5 Jack and $12 bottles of champagne.
The party starts at 8:30 and ends around 2 a.m. Get in free before 10 p.m. and $5 after for people 18 and up. For any questions or to sign up for either of the contests email DIRTYMEGA@gmail.com.

I’ve always been more of a people listener, so to speak, than a people watcher. This is especially true when it comes to going out at night. Most crowds look the same to me. A bunch of people standing around, drinking, talking, some dancing — it’s a scene I’ve seen plenty of times before and it always looks about the same to me.
I’m much more interested in hearing the random drunken statements yelled out throughout the evening, as the concerns for volume control and social decorum dissipate as the drinks start to flow. That’s when a person’s true personality comes through, and when you experience something unique.
To honor this nightlife phenomenon, I have decided to start a regular feature I’m calling Heard. Each month I will share the most noteworthy statements I have overheard while hanging out in Charlotte once the sun has gone down.
Some will be insightful. Most will probably be ridiculous. But then, that’s ultimately up to you, Charlotte. I’m just here to write it all down.
Bartender at The Gin Mill: “They come in here the next day like, ‘You roofied me!’ Yeah, or maybe it was the 18 shots you ordered.”
Partygoer #1: “I wonder what the most repeated word is in that crowd right now.” Partygoer #2: “Like.”
Girl at The Milestone: “I don’t believe in God, I believe in aliens. People saw aliens and they thought it was God.”
Guy at Sewercide Mansion: “If I was a rapper, I’d rap like Lewis Carroll.”
Yelp Charlotte is throwing another one of their great parties, and here's your chance to attend.
You ever notice how a lot of times shops and restaurants put out notice of their upcoming sales and news, but it's never all of your favorite places at the same time? Which means you have to make multiple trips to go get a discount bottle of wine, half off dog bones or buy-one get-one free somethings.
Well, next week on July 9, Yelp is presenting the chance to get a Passport to Selwyn. This weeklong event will include all the local businesses and shops that run along Selwyn Avenue. And you gotta love that, as it brings exposure to a group of shops that deserve it so.
The kick-off party will take place at FABO from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 9. You'll have the chance to meet the faces behind the local businesses, taste some of their great samples and get a goodie bag from Yelp.
Attending the party will earn you a passport for discounts to the 13 businesses located on Selwyn, including FABO, Mellow Mushroom, Salon on Selwyn and Metro Fitness Club. The deals continue through the week from July 10 t0 July 17. Discounts apply only to passport holders who attend the party, so bring a guest. The event is free, but a donation to Carolina P.A.W.S. (a network of caring citizens who want to help abandoned and abused animals) of $10 is preferred.
Register at Yelp.com to attend the shindig — hurry because space is limited. All RSVPs will be confirmed by Wednesday, July 6 with an email from charlottenc@yelp.com.
