I was at Whisky River this week for the Haunted Ball that Tucker Max and I hosted ... and we had such a ball I ended up swimming in the Westin fountain afterward with an inflatable Halloween decorative roach I kept as a souvenir and named Karl.
Sadly, I had to depart Charlotte early the next morning for the next stop on the book tour, Kentucky ... the state where I hear they make great jelly.
Therefore I am going to miss Cowboy Mouth at Whisky River this Sunday (sucks for me) so I'm going to give away my tickets ... all 20 of them.
The first 10 people to e-mail me at brittney.cason@creativeloafing.com wins an epic evening at the EpiCentre down by the Whisky River. And...go.
And after you do that, take a gander at some of the pics on CL's QC After Dark blog
As I was standing in the airport security line at some random airport in some random city going from one book tour stop to the next my blackberry buzzed and in-came this e-mail:
"Congrats you've been selected as one of the "Top 30 under 30" in Charlotte as nominated and selected by your peers." ...wow, thanks peers!
I got so excited I literally jumped for joy and shrieked in that annoying high pitched girl's voice that only dolphins can hear, causing the airport security guys to turn an eye at me and my oversized gel and lotion carry-on bag. Next thing I know, I am being transported into a space shuttle-looking contraption getting X-rayed. (To all the security guys in that airport that saw me naked ... I'm sorry). But I was too excited about being appointed cool back home, I cared not.
But then I saw the date of the award ceremony and celebration: Friday, Oct. 15 ... shit. I'll be in San Francisco, still on tour.
But you all can still go (I'm jealous) ...
Elevate Lifestyle and SUITE's Charlotte's Top 30 Under 30 "Future Leaders of Charlotte" celebration party Friday, Oct. 15 at Suite at Epicentre. Award Ceremony begins at 9:30 p.m.
I'd like to add someone to the list of honorees: the guy who sent me the e-mail pronouncing me cool, Shawn Sarwary (pronounced Soiree). His name is Soiree for a reason he knows how to throw a party.
But considering my 30th birthday is in January (or 9th anniversary of my 21st rather), I sure am cutting it close!
Though on hiatus, I will be home Oct. 26 ... for like five minutes. But that's enough time to host a party.
An after party that is, for a book signing?! But considering it's Tucker Max's book signing, it makes sense.
Tucker will be at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in South Park signing copies of his new book Assholes Finish First, and afterward, we'll be at Whisky River ...
Since I'm too lazy to send evites to the entire city, consider this your personal invite to come party with the infamous Tucker Max ... oh, and me.
And you can win a special VIP invite to come party as our special guests (and on our tab) by e-mailing me via my website, BrittneyCason.com and telling me who we hung out with after the DC signing, that sounds more like a joke ... or one of Tucker's stories. First three e-mails to hit my inbox wins.
