KAWS Hennessy at Gantt, Sounds of Uptown at Westin, and Bingo for Boobies at Mortimer’s

September 23, 2011

Jarvis Holliday,

Renowned artist KAWS designed this bottle for Hennessy. There’s a special event celebrating it Monday at the Gantt Center.

You have your eyes set on the weekend (probably watching the clock, anxious for 5 p.m. to come), but do yourself a favor and mark your calendar for at least one of these events taking place next week.

Monday, September 26
KAWS x Hennessy
Top-selling cognac Hennessy partnered with renowned New York-based artist and designer KAWS to create the limited edition KAWS Hennessy V.S bottle (click here to see video). You can celebrate the stylish artwork/drink at this special event that celebrates art, music, and culture.

Wednesday, September 28
Bingo for Boobies
It’s a fun and playful evening in support of a serious cause. Get a head start on Breast Cancer Awareness month (October), and help raise awareness by playing some old-fashioned bingo (bet they don’t serve cocktails at your grandma’s bingo game). It’s $5 for two cards or $6 for three. Each round has a better prize than the one before, ranging from free appetizer cards to a $100 gift card to Revolution. Proceeds will raise money for the Dolla Dolla Bills team’s participation in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. 7:30-9:30 p.m. Mortimer’s Café and Pub, 210 E. Trade St., inside EpiCentre, mortimerspub.com, Facebook invite.
