One of the East Coast’s largest and most prestigious Fashion Weeks has come to a close for 2013.

Charlotte’s own DJ Rowshay advances to the regional qualifier for Red Bull’s Thre3Style DJ competition in Miami, FL.

Red Bull Thre3Style gives highly skilled DJs a global platform to showcase their skills, battle and gain notoriety by rockin’ the dance floor.

Unlike other DJ battles that are based on solely technical aspects, Red Bull Thre3style has a creative and original format that seeks to find the DJ that has best perfected the true art of rockin’ the party. Competing DJs are given 15 minutes and the challenge to play three different genres of music while keeping the crowd rockin’ on the dance floor. A panel of music industry judges will select the winners based on track selection, creativity, mixing skills, stage presence and crowd reaction. Whoever is named best on the decks gets bragging rights, a prize purse, and advances to the next step on the road to the world finals.

It’s time for the 16th Annual Carolina Downhome Blues Festival—one of the South’s premier blues festivals and a highlight in Carolina nightlife.  Over a span of four days, the festival will feature 41 performances with 21 different performers.  There is also a variety of venues, 16 in total, that are intimate indoor and outdoor settings to enhance the experience of hearing blues music.  The festival is set in South Carolina’s oldest inland city, Camden, from October 4-6.

Layered cocktails are always kinda fun to build and this is no different. While many layered cocktails bring more sweet, this brings more coffee so go try yourself a Raging Bull.

Common Man Cocktails is intended to demonstrate the creation of great cocktail recipes focusing on the “average joe.” We’re showing the “everyday drinker” how to create some beautifully tasting concoctions by creating them, tasting them and giving you an idea of what they’re all about.

Local North Carolina boy, Porter Robinson, a now international celebrity DJ is going to be playing at the Neighborhood Theater on June 26th.

This show is going to be one of those type of events you have to rest up for. It is total energy the entire time.

I suggest you watch some of the videos below to get acquainted with Porter and his type of performances and make sure you get your tickets in advance. I am sure this show will sell out.

When I first started getting into craft beer it was hard to make sense of all the different breweries and styles. It’s overwhelming to walk into a bar or restaurant and look at a list of 60+ beers and pick one without being a little worried about what you’re going to be getting, especially when you’re used to the same 10 beers you find on tap at every bar in America. But don’t worry; if this is you then you’re not alone. I’ve been there and so has everyone else who loves good beer. The truth of the matter is you’re never going to know everything about every beer you drink, or even about every style. (Luckily) There is enough experimentation going on in the US beer scene to keep things ever changing. However, in the end, there are a few things to help hone your palate and learn what you like to help broaden your beer horizons.

A layered shooter similar to the standard Brain Hemorrhage shooter, but with Blue Curacao added. While I’m not a huge fan of the concept of shots, layered shooters are nice to watch and their reaction is the best part of the recipe. This recipe is all about peach schnapps from a flavor but the “Brain” cocktails are all about the effect.

A little over three weeks ago the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) announced the nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards.  Ten movies were chosen to represent the best motion picture of the year category.  Being the movie aficionado that I am, I have seen all ten of these films.  Here are a few quick thoughts on each of them:
