This will by no means be an exhaustive list. What can I say? I’m not that cool.
Allons, enfants de la patrie! That’s French for, “Let’s go, kiddos.” Thomas and Vu are offering (drumroll, s’il vous plait) $2 Jager and $2 Red Stripe starting this weekend at Zinc. Remember the Kronenbourg too. Vive la France! And check out Butterhouse next week…
You may remember the Sea & Cake from such popular late ’90s songs as “Sporting Life” and 2000’s “All the Photos.” Or maybe you won’t. But they’re playing at the Satellite Ballroom tonight, and I think they’re pretty cool.
If you can’t make it to a show, enjoy some musical fruit at Saturday’s Vegetarian Festival in Lee Park. Now in its 11th year with 100 exhibitors, the festival will offer a wide variety of delicious, vitamin-rich ways to save a cow and share stories of that time your fingerling potatoes were cooked in duck fat. Other slant: free international food with really nice healthy people who could be single and very attractive.
Speaking of things that grow in the ground: I have no words for this pumpkin. Just awe.
UVA fan? Tonight, the Hoos play Tech in soccer, and tomorrow night, they take on Pittsburgh in football. I don’t have a witty remark for sports right now. Just saying…
Fall Foxfields! I already previewed it. The weather will be perfect!

How about going to see Live Art’s production of the David Mamet play, American Buffalo? It’s the first good play Live Arts has put on in several years, thanks in no small part to its director, Mark Valahovic. Just remember David Mamet = profanity x 1000. Live Arts is generally nothing more than community theater from a group of haughty people, but this is a play worth seeing.
“Foxfields”? “s”?
I’m giggling right now. Truly.

Wow, I am a hypocrite! It slipped.
Count me in for veg fest and all the deliciousness it portends (attractive singles = secondary bonus).
Horatio: I shall duly consider.
There’s an interview with the director of American Buffalo on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network if you want more information before making up our mind.
I misspoke, as Valahovic was great in Streetcar Named Desire (and most of the cast as well). That was a decent production, primarily due to the cast. The director made some significant changes in its production, some of which worked, and others that nearly ruined it.
Word is that OXO’s revamping their DJ setup for tonight. Should be dancey fun.
Butterhouse should be great next weekend!

Best entertainment for your buck this weekend has to be the game at Klockner. Seven bucks get you sitting in a beautiful night, on the grass,with 8K supporters and a great match.
Wayyyyy to nice to be hanging around bars.
Of course, a delicous dinner of Curry Chicken over jasmine rice with toasted cocount and almonds in a green curry coconut sauce went well with a frosty beverage to make it wonderful.
Danpri: and where did that curry come from? Tie game, exciting!
Well, it should be no surprise that my world is a wee bit o food and beverage. All of our boys are better cooks than their wives and came into their marriages with commercial kitchen equipment and good cooking skills. So if the youngest is cooking up Grouper with Mango salsa or the oldest is knocking out creole stuffed shrimp or the middle boy is kicking up sushi and spring rolls our family tends to east well. We rarely go out to eat, finding our home cooking with the family consistantly better and spending the extra jack on a nice Monte Vertine Pergole Torte (The 1990 was yummy, although I wish I could find some 83s still for my past memories sake!) or its ilk and so…we eat well.
So, yeah, we cooked it at home.
There were like, no hot dudes at the Veg Fest. WTF?
what did you expect, meat?
[…] actually an omnivore!” folks waiting to buy Ethiopian and Indian meals. I got a kick out of Sha-nay-nay’s review […]
