Because its the perfect accessory to wear to the heavenly new nightclub in Charlotte Halo. Halo is the new it club in the N.C. Music Factory, and in Charlotte in general on a Saturday. Although I think they should call it horns because theres not too much angelic stuff going on in there if you know what Im saying... it is a nightclub afterall }:-)
The grand opening of Halo last Saturday was so packed the line protruded beyond the red carpet, past The Fillmore and pretty much to my desk at the Creative Loafing office. I was wondering who was watching the EpiCentre because basically everyone youd see at Suite on a given night, was at Halo for their Marquee Saturdays including some of the staff, as well as the staff at Sunset Club. And I think all the pretty girls came out of the closet wearing the best dresses in their closets because it felt like a Miss North Carolina pageant. And with clubs, its kinda like the Field of Dreams: if you build it, they will come. Well if the pretty girls come so will the guys who spend money a very simple nightlife formula.
Halos other ingredients include a massive dance floor with a lighting system that makes every night feel like the 4th of July with the best DJs in town including DJ R Wonz and DJ Complete, and DJ 208 will be taking the wheels at an upcoming Marquee Saturday. Free and hassle-free parking, go-go dancers shaking their rumps on the roof, three bars, a patio and lounging areas. They have a Latin night on Thursday, but their hottest night, not to mention the hottest night in Charlotte, is their Marquee Saturdays. And Halo is the perfect place to go before or after a concert at the Uptown Amphitheatre or Fillmore.
Speaking of the Marquee Saturdays, the first 10 people to e-mail brittney.cason@creativeloafing.com will get a pass for free admission with a get out of line free pass.
This is a 10-person deep prize so your chances are rather goos here, but please do realize free shit goes quickly ... please don't reply at 3 a.m. so that my Crackberry rings and wakes me up asking "Did I win?" when I'd given them away 20 e-mails ago. And sending a message to me on facebook doesn't count.
