The show, which lasted almost two hours was amazing, but who the fuck was the dude who jumped on stage at the beginning of the concert. Rapper/singer Phonte seemed pretty close to kicking the guys ass. And check the photo above, by Jasiatic, to catch a really shocked looked on Nicolay's (the white guy) face.

My friend, Vittoria, from Chicago was in town this past weekend, so I took her to Bartenders Ball... and in describing it to her I said, Remember the scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when they walk into the factory to a magical chocolate wonderland? Well, kinda like that, but with alcohol.
Because a ticket to Bartenders Ball is the golden ticket. Just about every bar in Charlotte sets up a bar booth in the Blake for a nightlife convention that is one massive adult prom where all the punch is spiked.
I ended up in a dinosaur costume for some reason Loft 1523 had a dinosaur mascot. That is just one example of the shenanigans that goes down at Charlottes biggest party.
