Friday night was my friend Skylar’s 24th birthday. And since I’m always in favor of my friends getting older (because it makes me feel better), I decided to emerge from my black hole of waitressing and research and venture into the inner circle.

We started the night with a reservation at Kazba which was nice, but [...]

Alive After Five: style guide
Even though his blog may be depressingly defunct, no one detailed the intricacies of dress and decorum for uptown’s favorite after work party better than Mike Giglio. So to help you prepare for Alive After Five’s return tomorrow, I pass on his helpful guide.
There is a caste system at Alive After Five.
For men:

2009 is off to a great start.
Guess who's back
Good morning, faithful fanbase of five! I apologize for neglecting you. I didn’t realize quite how long it has been until I logged on this morning. I was on vacation from December 24th – January 4th and had no reliable internet connection outside of my trusty crackberry (which isn’t exactly blogger friendly). [...]
ThyssenKrupp worker dies in Uptown Accident
I have fond memories of the Thyssen Krupp elevator guys. I saw them frequently during four years of high rise living at UNCC. Seeing their vans parked outside of my building always brightened my day because, let’s face it, by the time they got there the elevator hadn’t been working for two weeks and I [...]
Fail: Uptown Magazine
Uptown magazine has named Uptown’s 7 sexiest. 7 sexiest? Are we going for the alliteration here? Then why not 6? But really, why not 10- why not 15 or 20? I know the QC has a lot of sexy people to offer who are known around town. A lot more and a lot sexier than [...]

Brixx and Politics
Good etiquette tells us to never discuss politics at a dinner party. Common sense tells us that alcohol and opinions don’t mix.
Saturday night I went out in uptown with Skylar and some other friends to celebrate Kalie’s birthday. We were supposed to have a nice dinner at Rock Bottom (don’t get me started [...]
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
The summer of 2007, I worked as a legal assistant at a small law firm that facilitated real estate closings. Everything was going about at it’s usual hectic pace until one day when countrywide suddenly announced that it might not fund mortgages. For one painfully long day, the six of us held our [...]
Breaking Fast
Now that the joy surrounding the BoA/Merril marriage has passed, people are starting to remember that mergers=layoffs.
Charlotte is getting even more riled up at the pumps, as continued gas shortages are causing long lines, traffic problems, and even fights. CMPD officers have been deployed to keep the peace at some high traffic stations [kissfm].
