February 18, 2009 (Charlotte, NC)- As the city prepares for the invasion of thousands of 2009 CIAA tournament patrons and entertainment seekers, JSW Media Group has partnered with Exogen and the|ENTERTAINMENT to bring an incredible line up of exclusive VIP worthy events during one of Charlotte’s most popular weekends.
