The Scene CIAA: The calm before the storm

Posted By Carlton Hargro on Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 4:06 PM

Today, downtown Charlotte seems eerily quiet and calm.

Just think, in a few days Uptown will be mobbed by thousands of folks out to have good time at the basketball tournament or any of the dozens and dozens of parties going down this week.

That said, we at CL will be covering the whole thing with zeal. Tomorrow, check your local CL street box or stand for our latest issue; in it, we offer a guide to best stuff going down duringÂ CIAA. Also, make sure you check the CLog frequently this week for regular coverage of the tournament and all related fun.

Lastly, we're co-sponsoring a few partiesÂ this week:

Wed., Feb. 27, we're teaming up with The Sol Kitchen to bring back our much-loved Pop Life event for a one night stand. This event will feature art, film, free food, drink specials, cool people and the most eclectic blend of music in the whole damn city. And it's FREE. It all pops off at Prevue, 2909 N. Davidson (in NoDa).

Â Thursday we bring DJ BroRabb to Buckhead Saloon (201 E. 5th Street). Cover is $15 and it starts at 9 p.m.

Then on Friday, we're joining forces with The Sol Kitchen again, to bring Biz Markie and friends to Charlotte's best new nightclub, HOM (116 W. 5th St.). Visit www.thesolkitchen.com for more info.

At any rate, get ready. An ass-load of fun is only a few days away.

The Scene Oh, to be a derby girl

Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Mon, Jan 28, 2008 at 3:36 PM

I want to be a Charlotte Roller Girl.

While watching their inaugural bout against the Columbia Quad Squad last night at Cricket Arena, I could barely contain my excitement. I want to skate stealthily around a tight track like I know what I’m doing. I want a great sarcastic nickname. I want to be aggressive and push my opponents down, all in the name of roller derby.

I want to don purple stockings with holes in them. I want to wear a super short skirt, exposing underwear that reads “It Ain’t Gonna Lick Itself” on my ass and be called sexy.

Wait. You want to hear about the bout, don’t you.

The Scene Beards are beautiful

Posted By Web Editor on Tue, Jan 15, 2008 at 1:01 PM

On Jan. 11, the finale for the Beards Because fundraiser was held at Amos'. For two months, men grew beards to raise money and awareness for the Battered Women's Shelter of Charlotte. Here are a couple of photos from the trimming. (photos by Jeff Hahne)
