Things To Do This Weekend – February 24-26

by Jason | Feb 24, 2017 | Charlotte Area News and Information, Charlotte Events

For the first time in a long time, that I can remember, we’ve been experiencing VERY spring-like (almost SUMMER-like) temperatures in February. In the Metro Charlotte area, we ‘survived’ snow-mageddon last month, and all of a sudden it’s in the 80s? How does this happen? Flowers and finely colored trees are blooming, yards are full with green grass, and neighborhoods are exploding with kids and pets playing in the streets. The current conditions produce an innumerable amount of activities to enjoy as we near the end of the month. So, if we’re not going to get an impressive winter storm in 2017, then we may as well jump right into spring and take in the early gift of warmth and beauty.

Maybe you’ve had a tough month and you want to end it with a laugh. Maybe you’ve wanted to experience a bit of intrigue and mystery to stretch your emotions and your mind. Have you started, (or continued), a health regimen that would be supported by a class? Are you in the middle of wedding planning and need that extra ‘something’ to get those creative juices flowing? Or do you just want to be entertained by some of the best athletes in the area? Check out some of these events happening for the final weekend of February.

Forbidden and Forgotten: The Waxhaw Ghost Tour
Have you been looking for a bold opportunity to step out and enjoy a nice evening, and maybe some of the ‘unknown’? This exciting tour will affect your emotions and maybe a sense or two as you explore Waxhaw like never before. Every area has its own mystery and thrilling stories to tell and this one hour walking lamplight tour of downtown Waxhaw will give you the privilege of hearing all the true stories that people have heard for over one hundred years.

You know, hundreds of people every night attend comedy shows. Sitting at the same tables, drinking the same drinks, in the same
‘normal’ environment. What if you could throw some enthusiasm into the mix, share some laughs in your home town, learn a little, AND
do it all ON THE MOVE?? The Funny Bus is sure to be an experience that you’ll not soon forget. Your tour guide will put a comedic spin on the sights and sounds of the Queen City as they highlight the history and architecture of the area. Bring a few drinks, sit back, and
enjoy one of the best nights that the Queen City has to offer.

Things To Do This Weekend! – February 17-19

by Jason | Feb 17, 2017 | Charlotte Area News and Information, Charlotte Events

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening! Whenever you are reading this, you may be, currently, thinking like I am about what to do this weekend. My wife travels a lot for work, and so the weekends, normally, are special times to be together and enjoy some of the simple things we both appreciate. Whether that is getting outside and enjoying a beautiful day at an event, taking a little road trip for a new experience, or finding an unknown little shop or restaurant that is a ‘hidden’ gem. It takes effort and intentionality, but there are many, many options that can make this coming weekend memorable. You may say, “that is my usual time to clean the house, do laundry, wash the car, etc.” and that is just fine in itself. But, if you’re able, maybe plan ahead a little. Take a few extra minutes to knock some of the mundane things out, and take a breath this weekend to do something fun with the friends, family, or family pet. You work hard. You’re on the go so much. Life is too BUSY, and too SHORT to not take in our Charlotte metro area and all that it has to offer. So without further ado, here are a Few Things to Do This Weekend.

Feb. 17-19 – 3pm, 1pm, 3pm
49ers Baseball

America’s pastime returns to the Queen city, and one of the area’s college ball clubs will be kicking (or hitting and pitching) their season off on Friday afternoon. If sports is your thing, or you just want to get out and enjoy the VERY agreeable weather, then the Charlotte 49ers baseball team would love for you to go out and support them, as they play West Virginia this weekend.

Feb. 17 – 8pm
Comedy & Cuisine

Do you love to laugh? Do you love to eat? What if you could do BOTH in the same evening and leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and more ALIVE than when you arrived? “Comedy & Cuisine” promises to bring families back to the table by helping them “Laugh 2 live & Eat 2 live longer”. So, If you have a passion for food, art’s culture, fashion and entertainment then this special evening has YOU written all over it. After all, what’s better than lavishing yourself and friends with a lot of humor and delicious hor’dourves?

Feb. 17 – 7pm
Cigars & Sips

If your neighbor is anything like mine, then you know how this event would get them (and yourself) all excited. He can’t get ENOUGH of a good cigar. He has one when he cuts his grass. He has one when he’s washing the family vehicles. He has one when he’s watching the pouring rain. They know his name at the local wine and cigar store. Well, if don’t mind taking a little day trip, get ready for a great time! Westbend Winery and Brewery will welcome guests to their “Cigars and Sips” event. It’s a laid back evening of warm smokes and a great beverages and could be just what you need after a stressful week.

Feb. 17-18 – 7pm – 9pm
Night at the Museum

What about for the kids? You spend a lot of time planning their lunches, taking them to practice, and helping out with homework. Do you have to now plan their sleepover? Good news, it’s already been planned for you and this could be the best sleepover they ever have! Spend the night at The Schiele Museum and enjoy a show in the new Science Theater. Make crafts, participate in hands-on activities, and share in an experience that they’ll remember for a long time. Registration includes an evening snack and breakfast on Saturday morning.

Feb. 17 & 18
Brunch and Brush

Sometimes when you consider how you want to spend your weekend, you don’t want to be limited. You want options in your activity. You want fun, creativity, liveliness, spontaneity and most importantly the opportunity to relax. City Art Room will be the place to be on Saturday for the true artist in you to evolve. Paint on a canvas with brushes. Color in adult coloring books. Finger paint, and customize leather bracelets. This is a freestyle session where you are encouraged to design items according to your preference or chosen reference. No experience is necessary. Bring mimosas, wine, beer, malt beverages, soft drinks, and food and fill your day with an overwhelming sense of pleasure and accomplishment.

Feb. 19 – 2pm – 5pm
Road to Hire Career Summit

Are you the OVERACHIEVER (or just innately, aggressively committed)? The days ahead could be the life change that you’ve been looking for and you want to use the weekend to network and begin a new career. The Stratford Richardson YMCA will host their “Road to Hire” career summit on Sunday where you’ll have the opportunity to walk through your resume and experience and schedule an interview with their leadership team. Paid professional training, development and job placement for motivated 18-25 year olds is the mission of the summit and it very well could be the next step that you (or someone you know) needs.

If it’s creative you’re desiring it’s available and there for your delight. If you want to indulge in the sweet and savory tastes of life then find yourself venturing out into the vast foodie culture we’re blessed with. Cheering for the local team, making special memories, influencing young minds, and finding your sides hurting from humor, this weekend in the middle of February will provide plenty of stimulation and style.

Things To Do This Weekend! – February 10-12

by Jason | Feb 10, 2017 | Charlotte Area News and Information, Charlotte Events

Every year, this second weekend of February can play on a lot of emotions. The Super Bowl is over. Your team may or may not have come out victorious. Either way, you’re (possibly) grieving the loss of football for another several months. Likewise, this time of year, we’re posed with the task of balancing our feelings towards the Metro Charlotte, Carolina weather. Up and down, warm, cold; 74 degrees on Tuesday and 27 on Saturday. You attempt to stay positive and happy, anticipating the beautiful spring days, but then a cold front sweeps through. It’s enough to make the most joyful person roll their eyes a little. AND THEN, there’s the big “V-DAY” on the horizon. Is ANYONE stressing yet? Restaurant reservations are filling up. Chocolate heart boxes and flowers are flying off racks. And jewelry and card stores are vying for every ounce of your attention and your wallet. Don’t you LOVE this coming weekend? Well, let us be your weekend “destresser” and your emotions masseuse with a short list of Things To Do This Weekend.

It’s a fun way to protest Valentines Day, at the same time enjoying awesome décor, delicious cocktail specials, and games throughout the bar. So, don’t be down about this day of puffery and googly-eyed mayhem. Go the opposite direction and live it up with your favorite “ANTI” buds. blackfinnameripub.com

Sometimes it’s alright to just stop, take a deep breath, and be entertained. Not very often can you be entertained, AND be experience a bit of history at the same time. I know that I’ll never here the name “Sully” and not be moved. The terms “Miracle” and “Hudson” will forever be synonymous. Friday night is your chance to enjoy an unforgettable viewing of the feature film,“Sully”. Experience the Miracle on the Hudson, Flight 1549, while seated under the wings of the actual Airbus A320.

A distinctive mix of wines and specialty beers with value, their multi-purpose space is home to both a retail shop where you may purchase wines, beer, accessories and cigars as well as an on-premise bar area where you may enjoy wine, beer, artisan cheese and desserts in the company of your friends and neighbors. It’s certainly a gem to become familiar with. grapevine.wine

I heard a wise man once say, “if it’s FREE it’s for ME”.

This off-Broadway comedy features a one-man show mixing theater and stand-up comedy, leaning on vignettes about dating and marriage. Before V-Day, it’s a delicious evening of entertainment! carolinatix.org

There are always a considerable amount of family and friend events happening in your own ‘backyard’. Some, you just have to show up for to partake in the festivities. Football will return, Valentine’s Day will turn out fine, and the weather is looking EXTREMELY favorable with a lot of sunshine! Get out and LIVE it to the fullest.

Things To Do This Weekend! – January 27-29

by Jason | Jan 26, 2017 | Charlotte Area News and Information, Charlotte Events

So, it’s nearing the end of January. Across our country, there are A LOT of areas where people are curious (and scrambling) as to what they’ll do this weekend, particularly because of the weather and time of the year. However, in Metro-Charlotte, it’s looking like you’ll have the opportunity to stay inside, or go outside, and involve yourself with plenty of activity. Highs around 53 degrees and sunshine; Yes, we’ll take that. After all, you have a week ‘off’ from football, as most Americans will be watching the Super Bowl on February 5. So, this weekend is an ideal time to take advantage of some of these exciting things happening in our area. Maybe it’s been “one of those” weeks and you just need to laugh. Perhaps you’re in the mood to experience something new and pick up a new skill. Are your kids taking dance classes and you want to expose them to first-class professionals? Or, do you just want to eat some good food; (don’t forget about RESTAURANT WEEK). The Queen City wants to open its arms to you and yours and provide some wonderful outings. Let’s take a look at just a few Things to do This Weekend!

ASC CONNECT WITH CULTURE DAY

Whether it’s a variety of arts or science and history experiences, this Saturday is your opportunity to join in the fun for FREE, at the ASC CONNECT WITH CULTURE DAY. Hands-on activities, demonstrations from today’s top artists, film techniques, and even a free instrument petting zoo. That’s right a petting zoo for instruments, where young children will get a hands-on introduction to the instruments of the orchestra; ALL FOR FREE! For families or groups of friends, the ASC CONNECT WITH CULTURE DAY will educate and inform, of all of the amazing sites and sounds, of our wonderful Charlotte – Mecklenburg area.

QUEEN CITY COMEDY FESTIVAL

Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath, get away from the stresses and frustrations of life, “blow off some steam”, and LAUGH. This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is just for you! 35 of the area’s most talented and funny performers will treat you to their wit, improv sketches, comedy shows and workshops at the QUEEN CITY COMEDY FESTIVAL. Whether you need that extra pick-me-up, or just want to experience some good ole’ fun and side-splitting humor, the folks at Acting Out Studios have a weekend of good times prepared.

THE PIZZA PEEL

If it’s good food that you’re interested in, can you believe that THE PIZZA PEEL is celebrating their 3-year anniversary by giving YOU free food? They’re so excited to offer a free buffet, $3 select drafts, even letting you craft and create your own pizza. This round pie may just be an occasional quick meal for most of us, but for the crew at THE PIZZA PEEL, it’s a way of life. From 11 am – 2 pm on Saturday, why not step into their world and celebrate their wonderful contribution to our community.

What if you live outside the Charlotte area, (or want travel and take a short day trip)?

Breakout Lake Norman

If you go North, Lake Norman has so much to offer in the way of art, culture, and fun. One of which is “Breakout Lake Norman”, an interactive real life adventure game. You and your group will be locked in a themed room and have to navigate by using the elements of the room to solve a series of Puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within the 60-minute time limit. If the weather chills off a bit and you’d like to participate in a stirring and challenging indoor activity, then this ‘escape room’ experience will keep you on your toes and help you build some relationships along the way.

Havana Nights

Likewise, if you head south, to Rock Hill, The Arts Council’s Annual Fundraising Gala, “Havana Nights” will be burning up the dance floor on Saturday night. You’ll find the finest cigars and craft beer, live music, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction. If you just love to hear some fantastic tunes, watch others dance, or shake to the rhumba and the mambo yourself; the “Havana Nights” festivities will captivate you.

These are just a few of the spotlight events taking place this weekend; so why not get out and enjoy all that Metro-Charlotte has to offer. Next week you can plan your football parties and anticipate a day ‘in’, but the last weekend in January 2017 has loads and loads of fun just waiting to happen.
