#weekend

She hit the elf on the head... ahem, the NAIL on the head. With the dizzying amount of holiday prep required of most households, is it okay to leave Santa's high-maintenance helpers out in the cold?

The lights dimmed in the Dock Street Theatre and suddenly we were all kids again ("I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words...") Want in? Get your ticket! The show ends SUNDAY

Did you know that you can actually hang out Folly in the winter? Without all the shirtless and sweaty volleyball games, shotgunned beers, and asphalt-seared feet? Yeah, me neither. Not a bad Sunday...

Sure, it's 75 degrees outside (making the weather somewhat frightful), but no matter... nobody does Christmas like we do

Slow Runner and Rachel Kate Gillon put on a haunting, mind-blowing show at the Circular Congregational Church—tambourines, goosebumps, acoustic sets, lasers, and lots of reasons to love live music

What's a tree-lighting ceremony without a...giraffe? You thought I was going to say Santa. This weekend's bungled wild animal appearance in Marion Square was a waste of taxpayer dollars, and confusing

There have been a few times I thought I might die while running, but I didn’t think it might literally take years off my life. A new study argues running might not be as healthy as we think

I have ideas, including Jason Isbell, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and the viability of a tribute band named ZZ Topless. Plus, we'll discuss which are better—real or fake. See? I have ideas...

AAA batteries in a meringue pie. Sweet Junior finding a wife with whom to share the holidays. The image of a “rotund little shorty” chomping on a turkey leg. What about Renae’s post DIDN'T we love?

Sure, that extra hour of sleep last weekend was great. But with the end of daylight savings has come the end of my evening runs. In their place: the dreaded early-a.m. workout. Here's how I'm coping

Over the weekend in Roanoke, VA, tweed enthusiasts mixed fashion and cycling for a quirky event—the Tweed Run. Check out these shots from the pre-ride social—who's inspired to bring one to Chas?!

Here's how to find and sign up for the money-saving sales, plus tips on which goods to scout for while you're there. I'm sharing all of my secrets!

Need a REAL scare this season? Here are the nightmare customers who plop down at our tables, storm our hostess stands, and generally leave us horrified (or in rare cases, victorious!)

Somehow I was able to score an interview with Chef Rusty, the executive chef for the Zac Brown Band and the Southern Ground Music and Food Festival, and in less than 10 minutes, I was wooed.

Let's be honest: Do you really need another shirt or pair of shoes? If you’re planning to go shopping this weekend, guest Gritter Amanda Gilbert invites you to reconsider

I spoke with Zac Brown Band's Clay Cook about his musical roots (which include having—already—played in five huge acts), his pal John Mayer, Home Team BBQ, and what's in store for this weekend

Wondering about the FOOD at this weekend's big fest? I interviewed Zac Brown's chef for a preview of what's cooking (hint: Smoked Beef Tendererloin Sliders on Pan-Fried Cornbread Rolls are involved)

This weekend's Southern Ground Music and Food Festival promises tasty fare and even tastier music. Here's a rundown of what to expect from the show's stacked lineup

It's never kosher to behave like a big fat baby in public, but in a restaurant? You're playing with fire my friends... Here's what happened on a recent trip to Highlands

Could YOU run the Ravenel without your tunes? When Beyonce abruptly cuts off, you might find a few other senses cut on and get you over that bridge...
