CLT’s neighborhood living room.
It’s 7:45am. It’s Sunday. I’m going to eat chili. Life is awesome.
Hi friends,
I freaking love new ways to come together IRL and meet new people. Have you heard of the Neighborhood Living Room? It’s a pop-up public space put together by Varian Shrum, a K880 champion. It’s happening over at the Dilworth Artisan Station from the 15th to the 18th. Get out there and meet something new. Want to learn more? Check out this article on Charlotte Agenda or the Facebook event here.
This month is packed with awesome Events. If you haven’t heard of the CLT Storytellers you’re missing out. Their next event is on Oct 17th at the 7th Street Market. Check out the details here and don’t miss it. It’s $5.00 and totally worth your time. Come here awesome stories and meet someone new.
Now let’s get to it.

Have you met these 3 awesome Charlotteans?
#weloveclt is all about being open to meeting someone new and having a conversation. This week meet Katy Hill introduced by Erin Maddrey. She’s just taking intro running her own creative shop.
Next meet Frank Schwartz introduced by Claire Bingham. We’ve been told he has an infectious personality and is ridiculous funny. Meet him.
Lastly meet Cece Stronach of #RuminateCLT introduced by myself. She’s one of my favorite people I’ve met since starting all of this. I truly believe in her and that she’s going to do some bad ass things in Charlotte.
Do you know someone awesome and want to introduce them to all of We Love Charlotte? Let’s make it happen. I’ve laid out the instructions and guidelines here for you to make your own intro.
