Two great events I posted about on my other blog that some of y’all might consider attending yourselves, or supporting by reposting, emailing to friends and family, or even just mentioning to others you think might enjoy the opportunity to support two great local organizations:
Sunday – Sep. 21st: Me Fine’s 3rd Annual Southern Ladies Purse Gala
Local 3 Doors Down fans just can’t catch a break this week:
It was announced today that 3 Doors Down’s performance at Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek – Raleigh, NC that was previously postponed has now been cancelled.
Refunds of the face value of the ticket[s] and the per ticket convenience charge[s] will automatically be processed to the credit card used at the time of purchase. This refund will appear on your next credit card statement depending upon billing cycle. There is no need to return any tickets you may have received in the mail.
The band hopes to reschedule performances in the region, so please keep checking the band’s website as well as livenation.com.
If you have any questions, please contact Customer Support by replying to this email.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Regards,
Live Nation Tickets Customer Support
Get well soon Brad – looking forward to rockin’ in Raleigh again with you boys when that voice is back to normal!
…and also for us southern girls who love a sharp-dressed man!
Date: Friday, September 19, 2008
Time: 12:00pm – 9:00pm
Location: Varsity Men’s Wear, Crabtree Valley Mall
Stop by Varsity Friday before the NCSU vs ECU football game to get all your tailgating essentials, bowties, neckties, Proper Polos, and more! There may even be a free gift with purhase like croakies and koozies!
Ladies, come by and pick something up to surprise your beau!
Also, get the chance to meet the original belles of the business. Emmie and Reagan will be visiting from Atlanta for this special event.
Major bummer:
We have been informed by Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek that 3 DOORS DOWN on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 has been postponed. At this time, no new date has been scheduled. When the new date is scheduled, we will notify you and you can expect that the tickets you have in your possession will be honored on the new date. At that time, you will also be given an opportunity to request a refund if you are unable to attend the new date.
I was SO looking forward to it. Hopefully it’ll be rescheduled for a very, very soon date… I don’t do cold unless it’s on the side of a mountain with lots of layers made of Under Armour and North Face (or you know – into Lake Raleigh in a Pi Phi shirt for a great cause).

I say fisherwomen explicitly because I know quite a few of my female readers kick butt and take names when it comes to fishing.
Please consider entering or volunteering with this event to benefit the NC Coastal Land Trust!
Calling all fishermen and women! If you like to fish, enter the Fisherman’s Post NC Flatfish Championship to help fund coastal conservation.
The tournament is Saturday, September 20, 2008 at the Joyner Marina in Carolina Beach.
Proceeds from the tournament with benefit the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust, and each participant will be invited to make a small donation ($1-$5) to the Coastal Land Trust when registering.
The Coastal Land Trust member with the largest catch will win a gift certificate to Michael’s Seafood-one more reason to join in on the fun! Tournament cost is $125 for those registering before September 1st and $150 after September 1st.

I am actually sending a big “thank you!” out to the local media… seriously!
Dress for Success celebrated the NC Triangle affiliate‘s official opening yesterday morning with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Northgate Mall in Durham, NC. The amount of press coverage that was provided and has continued has been truly gracious and hopefully will recruit some new volunteers an resources our way.
Big thanks go out to (please let me know if I’ve missed any):
Stay tuned here for more info coming soon about Y.E.S – Young Executives for Success… a component of Dress for Success that provides networking, social events, and opportunities for young local execs to give back to Dress for Success in a really fun way!
A collection of some good to know local info from yesterday’s blogosphere…
Add this to the ridiculously long list of things to do this Saturday:
the Town of Cary’s Lazy Daze festival!
Another from Sue Stock – the business news writer who keeps us on our retail toes:
Replacements will be selling more than 100,000 pieces of overstocked merchandise. Unlike previous years, shoppers will pay a $5 entrance fee and then $5 for a box that they can then fill with as much yard sale merchandise as it will hold. (Yes, you can buy multiple boxes.) Items in the separate sidewalk sale section of the event will still be priced per item.
If you’re local, please plan to attend!
By the way, I have a pair of tickets (for you and a guest) to give away!
Just comment here or email me at NCSULilWolf@gmail.com to enter – deadline to do so is Friday – August 22nd, 2008 – by 12:00pm… (noon – not midnight).
As if fashion and contributing to finding a cure with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation isn’t enough, the grand prize to be given away at the show is a stay for two at the all new The Umstead Hotel & Spa!
GOOOOD LORD what a generous donation from The Umstead that was!
No, not the Buckhead band (who still manage to amaze me with their on-stage shenanigans on Friday and Saturday evenings), but the real hot sauce!
From today’s Boss’ Planner, Jonny mentions September 13th as the date for the NC Hot Sauce Festival… further proof that we’ll have a festival for anything! But hey, I’m not complaining.
While I probably won’t be at that event (darn you, acid reflux), I still think it’s a fun idea.
Clarification: apparently it’s the “hot sauce contest” as Google search results would have it.
