"Mix at Six" at Ballantyne Village begins tomorrow, not at 6 p.m., but at 5 p.m. (So wouldn't that make it Mix at Five?) ... just saying. The weekly Wednesday night events will be held from Sept. 2 through Oct. 28.

Simplified, the official best band in Charlotte (voted by you), will be playing tomorrow for the first mixer at sixer (or five, rather). Speaking of Simplifed, they just released their video for Sugar Tree.
