News Kanye talks Bonnaroo
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 1:58 PM
Kanye West has given his side of the story about what happened at Bonnaroo here.
There's also more at cnn. He calls the people at Bonnaroo idiots who didn't know how to set up his stage.
My point is still this - Kanye should have come out and addressed the crowd, before 3 p.m., to let them know there were problems and they were not his fault. He could have easily done that, but didn't even apologize or give a reason once he took the stage.
QC After Dark Is it football season yet?
Posted By Brittney Cason on Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 11:01 AM
College Football kicks-off in 65 days and there are 72 days until the NFL season kicks-off…. But who’s counting?
In the interim I’ve been getting my football fix via the Carolina Speed — the Professional Indoor football team that plays in Cabarrus Arena up in Concord.
Arena Football is in a league of their own. Granted, it has most of the components of your typical football game: beer, field entertainment, refs, cheerleaders, and avid fans, but it’s a whole different ballgame.
News What's on Barack's iPod?

Cnn has an article posted online here about what Barack Obama has on his iPod. No surprises, I'd say.
The list includes Yo-yo Ma, Jay-Z, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones and Sheryl Crow.

QC After Dark BlackFinn...coming soon!
Posted By Brittney Cason on Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 3:42 PM
BlackFinn Restaurant and Saloon is coming soon to an EpiCentre near you on July 24.
But there’s already a BlackFinn in Norfolk’s Waterside – Norfolk’s slightly outdated version of the EpiCentre. Ahh, Norfolk … where every week is Fleet Week.
I was there this past weekend for a bachelorette party, which gave me the perfect opportunity to review Charlotte’s newest bar-a-rant.

QC After Dark Opening soon: Howl at the Moon
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 1:18 PM
Howl at the Moon at the EpiCentre opens this Friday, but last night they had a pre-grand opening party that doubled as their dress rehearsal. Because the whole operation is just one big show, but we’re not talking concerts or plays – It’s a Dueling Piano Bar starring piano men that would make Billy Joel proud, dancing waitresses, and a full band… saxophone and all.
It’s a unique form of live nightlife entertainment that’s as interactive as it is intoxicating. No pun intended. None taken.

QC After Dark No more case of the Mondays!
Posted By Brittney Cason on Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 10:38 AM
Looks like somebody’s having a case of the Mondays...
But not me! Turns out, Monday is as just of a fun day as Sunday...at least judging by the crowd that almost filled Dixie’s Tavern to maximum capacity last night. I saw everyone I’d see on a typical Saturday night out, and by everyone I mean people I haven’t seen in a while and people I actually want to see. And, on Mondays, those usually behind the bar were on the other side of it.
