While hanging out at the EpiCentre one day, I noticed a huge advertisement for a new establishment coming. “Bubble Charlotte” was its name, and the image of champagne bottles filled me with intrigue. Not knowing quite what to make of a venue focused on this bubbly beverage, I began asking around. One thing led to another, and voilá! For all of you Charlotteans that are also curious about the fabulous eye-catching Ad at the EpiCentre, here is my interview with Brad Beltrondo, the Concept Director at Bubble Charlotte.
Erin Go Bragh! “Ireland Forever” is the true meaning to this Gaelic phrase, but growing up as a kid I was told by my Father and Uncle that the meaning was “Drink until you puke”. …I kind of like the old man’s version better. Puking is never my goal when out boozing but when it does happen, it’s usually due to a random shot of a something opposite of what I have already been shooting. The random friend I haven’t seen in a while who insists of taking something odd or even me tricking myself to take a fruity shot of something besides my normal whisky in hopes that it might actually wake me up, an eye opener if you will.
