Tis the season ... the season of giving, and holiday parties. Friday, Dec. 17, I am combining the two and hosting the White and Gold Holiday Gala at BUTTER to benefit the Levine Children's Hospital.

Benefit for The Real Deal, Shane Hmiel

Former NASCAR driver and current USAC star Shane Hmiel was involved in a nearly fatal accident in October while running his Silver Crown car at Terre Haute Action Track where he broke his back and neck in two places. And with that his hopes of running in the Indy 500 turned to hopes of ever walking again... and now, he is racing to recover.

Nightlife that works

Call me a freak, but I have found myself working more in bars than I do in an office. And not just because I’m a nightlife reporter, or because the Creative Loafing offices are nestled between BUTTER, Wet Willie's, and Black Bear.

Get some cheese with that wine at Yn Cafe

by Brittney Cason on August 3, 2010 at 2:27PM

Last Friday night after a long week, I found myself sitting in my house whining ... to myself. I wanted to complain that I had hours of work left on a Friday night and the Internet had gone down in my house — then I remembered I have a job and house, so I shut up.

Campus nightlife ... on Wells Fargo Cultural Campus

A Celebration of Hope

Walking and talking may seem to us like simple luxuries in life that we take from granted, while we complain about a gimp knee, headache, or hang nail... but for some, it's a miracle - and they don't complain at all. Such as Lexi Haas, the most amazing and inspirational little girl I know, personally.

Kalu opens, Courtside

And by Courtside I mean the condo building next to the arena — Kalu has opened underneath it, appreciating the value of the property. But all residents of Charlotte can appreciate this new bar and restaurant.

The best party I've ever been to ...

I got a new tattoo! Actually, a temporary cartoon crab on my hand, applied by a 3-year-old at Levine Children’s Hospital.

Pitching a nightlife tent

by Brittney Cason on June 10, 2010 at 4:50PM

There's nightlife ... then there's nightlife so good that you literally make a night of it, and it turns into over-nightlife. Now I'm not talking about staying up all night snorting Red Bull, or doing the horizontal mumbo that results in waking up to do the walk of shame (or stride of pride as I prefer to call it).
