Enjoying the Festivities in my Town!

Good Evening everyone!! Haven't posted anything in awhile because I've mostly been lazy and exhausted! Resetting my department in the store where I work has really been taking it out of me! So, it's great when I'm on my days off, I can enjoy hanging out with friends and exploring the our city! First festival of the summer was SpeedStreet 2012! Me and one of my good friends love going to this even every year because we get to walk around uptown seeing the people and get a whole lot of FREE stuff!!! LOL! When one hears The Wobble, you MUST get up and DANCE! LOL! The weather was absolutely amazing and I had to bring out the lacy shorts!! I was nervous at first about wearing them out, but I was tired of wearing my jeans and I have these fabulous clothes in my closet...why not actually wear them?!?!?! After more free food and some wine from the Epicentre, we head back to watch Evelyn Champagne-King perform and she did an awesome job! Fast Forward to last weekend when we went to The Taste of Charlotte!!! I love the Taste of Charlotte, because you get to taste all the different kinds of food from soo many different restaurants!! Food Heaven! Even though you have to pay for tokens, we found free parking not too far away from the festival, which made everything taste soo much better! LOL!! I ate ribs, chicken, Indian food, soul food, cupcakes, cocktail shrimp, pizza (that was free), and a whole lot of other food! I was super full after the whole thing. These guys from Fuel Pizza did a cooking demonstration and made a veggie pizza. At first I was like, "yuck", but then after taking a bite of it, "Yuuuuuum!!" It was soo good! At one time during the demonstration, they asked my friend to come up and toss the pizza dough in the air.....it fell back in her face. *womp womp* After sitting down to rest our feet (and digest some of that food) we decided to take pictures!!! *squeals! Even those are the most popular things to do in town at this time of the year, there is always plenty of to do and I can't wait to enjoy them all! :D
