It's that time of year here in Charlotte! The May races! NASCAR that is....
I am in no way a NASCAR fan but living here in Charlotte you can't get away from it. This weekend is the All-Star race and next weekend in the Coca-Cola 600 -- all here in C-town.
What is cool -- is that with race season comes a lot of cool events in Uptown Charlotte including a free concert by the band OAR last night.
Brad and I braved the crowds and beer lines and went last night. Good times! I've seen OAR a few times before including in Chicago and they always put on a good show.
Next week Speed Street will take over Uptown and I'll post about that. It's a street festival that literally takes over Uptown for a week and includes free concerts among all sorts of 'junk' for race fans.
For now -- enjoy the sites of last night :) Happy Thursday!
The 'rigs' -- we were handed all kinds of free stuff including an Old Spice shaving kit! (YUCKO!)
OAR on stage.
Brad and I enjoying the show.

I swear, y'all are the cutest couple!
Looks like fun....and I'm all for embracing your local culture, regardless of whether you're a fan or not.
My dad wore Old Spice!
So far I love reading your reflections about Charlotte. The mountains in your header photo are beautiful.
at least you survived the beer lines, hopefully buying 2 at a time!
