Another EpiCentre opening...

Tonight is the Grand Opening of PJ’s Coffee & Lounge.

To me PJ’s is the acronym for pajamas, but to Charlotte it’s the newest edition to the EpiCentre following the recent opening of Fleming’s Steakhouse.

(Speaking of Fleming’s – PJ’s is a little hard to find within the epic EpiCentre, so in order to help navigate your nightlife, I’ll go ahead an specify that it’s behind Fleming’s on the first floor).

PJ’s Coffee & Lounge is a place to go to wake up, chill out, and wine down – at least according to them. For someone can appreciate a coffee shop as much as a lounge, I went to check out this curious combination last night.

But the bar wasn’t so much combined as it was divided – half a coffee bar equip with a glass case of muffins and scones, and then the other half a wine stocked bar. Imagine if Starbucks and Press, Dolce Vita and Smelly Cat in NoDa, or even the two Dean& Deluca in Phillip’s Place were to have a merger….kinda like that.

Musicians at Republican campaign

Posted By on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 2:29 PM

Anyone should be able to understand rock star and Democratic supporter Jon Bon Jovi's disapproval with Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin using his band's song "Who Says You Can't Go Home," during her political rallies. But, he's not the only one ashamed that the Republican party is using his song. Other musicians, including Heart and Jackson Browne have also faced Republican John McCain's campaign using their tracks as well. And they don't like it. Read more about it here.

Today's Menu (10/15/2008)

Posted By on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 11:41 AM

Robert Earl Keen Dude is popular with country music fans, folk music fans, the college radio crowd, jam band fans, alt-country fans, soccer moms (sorry, Sarah), shitkicker types, and Texas fetishists. Hell, dude even looks like The Dude, and he certainly still abides by a lot of people's math. Me? I never got it. He's not really folky enough for folk, jammy enough for a jam band, or alternative enough for alt-country (whatever that is – R.I.P., No Depression). Granted, he is reasonably funny at times, yes, and he is a decent storyteller. Then again, I ain't lining up to go see Dane Cook anytime soon, either. Neighborhood Theatre (Timothy C. Davis)
