It’s official: Charlottesville is fun [almost] all the time

I went out every night this week. I am in pain right now.

South Street. Mas. X Lounge. Blue Light. Ten. Escafe. Etc.

Here’s my latest take on the scene:

We have options. Every phone conversation planning the night resulted in, “I just named three bars, so you have to choose one.” Instead of just ordering my standard drinks, I looked at each of the latter restaurants’ cocktail menus as though I were seeing them for the first time. They’re long!

Service is strong. In Charlottesville, mediocre service stands out to me. I’ve come to expect great service.

Charlottesville is pricy. It just is.

Parking’s not that bad. Use either of the two garages instead of circling the blocks for parallel spaces.

The scene ends early on week nights. Even 216 had locked gates at 1:30 a.m. last night!

    *raising hand, squirming* “i have something to say!”

    Can we all decide on one or two venue to frequent this friday so at least we know people will be there?

    I’ll be frequenting several parties to start the evening. Apparently I have to go to Chef Ted’s Shimmy Shack to start the night. Anyone ever been there? How is it? Its on Harris St. so I am already skeptical.

    I’m sure the night will end with me being belligerent and demanding a domestic light beer from OXO.

    Going out would be so nice if I had actually finished my shopping/wrapping/errand running before heading out of town (or if those three activities hadn’t completely drained the bank account per usual). Have a good holiday season, villains. I don’t plan to turn on my computer until after the new year (unless some disaster happens at work that I can’t solve by blackberry alone, which will inevitably happen).

    Now go make out under some mistletoe, open cool presents and exchange the lame ones for cash whenever possible. Seasons greetings!

    I’ll see you there. Anyone else on board? caroline, gonna brave the treacherous roads?

  12. […] Parlie’s place, apparently. If Two Sneeze is telling the truth (if that is his/her real name), Parlie lives at Blue Light. Fishy, if you ask me. (You didn’t. I know.) […]

    Santa,
    I got 428 5 year olds but I snuck in a Barney DVD and some Ritalin that looked just like Skittles. Sneaky and underhand? … That’s my middle fucking name.
