‘Tis the season…

…to crash company holiday parties!

It always amazes me that company holiday parties in Charlottesville are, for the most part, open to anyone who knows when and where they’re taking place. I’ve been to plenty of holiday parties where I didn’t belong and have definitely seen others (most notably a local TV news reporter) who had no business being at them as well. Because we’re supposed to be the villains of Charlottesville, I thought we might pool our resources and compile a list of these events, attempt to get someone to each one, and have them report back any silly and/or scandalous behavior. Let’s turn the gossip level up a bit around here!

I had planned on starting things off with news from The Hook party that was last night, but I made the mistake of beginning the evening at The Divide (the entry reminded me that it’s been a while) and didn’t progress as planned after the margaritas started arriving at the table.

I may have failed you, dear cVillains, but you can continue the mission with information and participation. Let’s hear about those holiday parties!

    Loving it.

    Might I suggest you keep the Omni in the back of your pretty little villainous heads . . .

    GREAT IDEA! I’m pretty sure everyone here would be a welcome presence too. My work party already happened… wouldn’t have minded the company of some villains at all.

    Although it doesn’t really qualify as a company party per se…the UVA Men’s Lacrosse Team has a party tonight at West Main…imagine the posibilities of crashing that one. You can do whatever the hell you want and no one will even remember…you might even get to hear some meathead fight songs?

    Well now, I’m not saying the Darden faculty/staff party is tonight in Sponsors Hall, and I’m not saying the music and dancing start around 8:30, and I’m not saying I bring that up out of morbid curiosity to see what kind of successful crashings happen…

    But I’m saying that that all might well be the case…

    Transdigital is having their annual holiday party at Gravity Lounge on Thursday, December 20 at 9:00. If it’s anything like last year’s party, there will be much to gossip about the next day. And, i hear that the guys from OK Yellow will be there…they’re a scandalous crew…

    What is a transdigital or OK Yellow?

    That party is an open party to start with. See the top new item on the Charlottesville Networking Group website.

    Transdigital is a document company and Okay Yellow is a graphic design firm.

    I would be embarrassed for any Cvillains to see my holiday party. Last year it was at the Cavalier Inn and they watered down our wine with ice cubes and my boss forced me to dance. This year it’s also at the Cavalier. More iced wine for us.

    Patience, I loved reading about your Christmas tree on your blog!

    Party? Hell, at my job we have a holiday breakfast at the Omni and go back to work. Oh, for the Christmas party bacchanals of my ill-spent youth as a young bar staffperson and the ritualized reading of the police blotter the morning after …

    Well I shall give account of the Roy Wheeler party at Ednam this upcoming Thursday. Since my company has shrunk so significantly over the last months of famine in the real estate market, a holiday party would only be possible if people actually crashed the event. I do seem to have loads of beer, wine and margarita mixers (hint hint), if you are crashing BYO snacks. I have a feeling this one will be the one going down in the C’ville annals.

    I just got word of a posted list of rules for the party that usually is the craziest, rowdiest of all the holiday parties around (also the one where I saw that news anchor, who didn’t have a chance of going unnoticed). One of the rules: no guests. I guess they realized that word was spreading about that one!

    Supposedly, there are even more rules for this holiday party. I might try to track down the rest of them.

    “I have a feeling this one will be the one going down in the C’ville annals.”
    A 2007 Real Estate Agents Xmas Party?…. remove one ‘n’ from the last word.
    I attended a Christmas party on Friday night and they supplied 3 tickets for drinks, and no wine with dinner. Tight Bastards. Whatever happened to the hedonistic days of fountains of Vintage Krug and illegally imported Groobelfish Caviar being served on the thighs of virgins?

    Floozy, no I wasn’t referring to the RE agents party (that I have to attend for business purposes), I was referring to my own company’s holiday party, that could only happen with the assisted crashing of many Cvillains, since my staff consist of 2 1/2 person. I was slyly suggesting that if enough Cvillains crashed, it may make for the craziest of crazy holiday parties, my lobby effort obviously is not working well ;)

    TwoOFour, Aaaaah all is now clear. I hope you can see where the confusion arose.
    By the way, is your half person the top or bottom half?

    Floozy, it’s is a right-side only person….

    Tell us more about the thighs of virgins.
