Pop Life Anniversary Party: It's hard to believe that The Sol Kitchen/Creative Loafing-sponsored nightlife event known as Pop Life has been around for two years but, hey, it's true. On Aug. 29, come celebrate our success by attending a special night filled with art, film and a collection of Charlotte's best DJs spinning an eclectic mix of soul, classic hip-hop, Afrobeat, Brazilian and other musical forms. Oh and we'll be celebrating the one-year anniversary of Pop Life's current home, Apostrophe Lounge, as well. Aaaaannnd we'll be celebrating Michael Jackson's birthday by spinning a special set of rare MJ tracks. And, yes, it's free. 9 p.m. 1440 S. Tryon St.
