Weekend Preview of Awesomeness

Posted by Thor on February 15th, 2008 46 Comments

Ooo lala, without Kiki and on a search for a better cocktail, I may be exploring new places. I’ve compiled a list for all my loved cVillains of the best things to do in town. If you don’t like it, let me know. If you you think I forgot something, let us know in the comments.  Anyway, click through to see what’s happening.

BOOZIN’ 4 A CRUZIN’:

Besides my search for something better, here are some events that will tickle your fancy:

One of our fellow cVillains will be pouring in the tasting room at Veritas on Sunday.

Expect the hotness to happen at Maya and Bang.

MUSAK:

Friday 7:30PM @ Gravity - Wiyos, hillbilly swing?

Saturday 7:30PM @ Gravity - Luminescent Orhcestrii, Appalachian and Gypsy tunes

Friday @ Satellite - Jim Waive CD Release Party. Read Cripsy’s review here!

Saturday @ Satellite - C-Fest

Saturday 8PM @ The Paramount - Blues with Taj Mahal. Sounds awesome to me. Make sure you sneak in your booze.

BAG O’ GOODIES

8PM @ Live Arts - Lysistrata. Read our review here.

Want to Pimp a Dancer? UVA’s Ballroom dancing folks are selling themselves to raise money. Deets here.

What’d we miss?

    Pimp a ballroom dancer… sounds like a high-brow escort service to me. Yes please.

    Pimping a dancer sounds like it should involve a Bedazzler. And lots of glitter.

    Jeremy Fisher
    Jim Bianco
    Brooke Waggoner

    I don’t know much about any of the bands, but free live music and an “excuse” to booze on Sunday…could be fun

    @2, I just cracked up out loud. Want to borrow a feather boa?

  10. 15 Feb 2008 at 2:47 pm10belmont yo said:

    Thanks Thor. I am rather fond of this week’s.

  11. 15 Feb 2008 at 2:58 pm11parlie said:

    somebody this morning told me that a band i like is playing at maya. i forgot what band, or who told me, but for what it’s worth, i am a notoriously unreliable source of information.

    i hope that was helpful.

  12. 15 Feb 2008 at 3:02 pm12belmont yo said:

    Actually “The Band Parlie Likes” might work as a band name.

    /still not as good as “Jehova’s Rifle Cream”.

  13. 15 Feb 2008 at 3:06 pm13Tim said:

    All I know is I’d like a backing band called “The Side Boobs.”

    b yo, excellent, excellent poster.

  15. 15 Feb 2008 at 3:09 pm15littlebirdie said:

    how about a triple bill:

    Free Beer
    All Night
    No Cover

    (with a special appearance by The Bartender’s Daughter)

    i saw the side boobs live at foxfield last summer. they were incredible.

  17. 15 Feb 2008 at 3:19 pm17belmont yo said:

    Free Beer was a west coast punk band in the early eighties. Bass player was original Powell skater Stevie Cabellero. Trivia.

    Best band name that was an actual band? JFKFC.

    Well I’ll be at the Ballroom. I’m looking forward to it.

    @18 Does your boyfriend know that you’re going to get pimped (according to @1)

  20. 15 Feb 2008 at 3:58 pm2040 Ounce said:

    oh, different ballroom

  21. 15 Feb 2008 at 3:58 pm21sian said:

    Luckily I never dance. I’ll be at the Satellite Ballroom, not the one full of pimps.

  22. 15 Feb 2008 at 4:32 pm22oy said:

    it’s 5′ish on a Friday. I’m home and for the first time in a year and a half, have absolutely no idea how I’m going to spend a Friday evening. Wow. ;)

  23. 15 Feb 2008 at 4:47 pm23Stanley said:

    I recommend shopping, oy. Tomorrow marks the 26th anniversary of my appearance here on Earth, and you’re really coming down to the wire. I like expensive wine and musical gear. Thanks in advance!

  24. 15 Feb 2008 at 4:51 pm24belmont yo said:

    Yeah oy, get with the program. Only another week or so til my *mumble mumble*th anniversary of my appearance on earth…

    Kill two birds with one stone!

  25. 15 Feb 2008 at 4:52 pm25wanago said:

    @ oy
    perhaps it will only be this Friday that you will be forlorn.

  26. 15 Feb 2008 at 5:28 pm26oy said:

    oh yeah, my birthday was gonna be schoolgirl night at Kiki.

    Thanks for reminding me!

    heh

    I believe I’m heading to an undisclosed location, to see the hackensaw boys. It took me 10 minutes to write this, as my buzz is very strong already. It’s gonna be an interesting night…

  28. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:38 pm28wanago said:

    @27
    they are playing at dust? At least that is what it looks like

  29. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:38 pm29TwoOFour said:

    Incredibly creative

  30. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:47 pm30hipster-doofus said:

    The myspace for that undisclosed location doesn’t say anything about the Hackensaws… hmmm.. maybe caroline knows something? Where you at girl?

  31. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:51 pm31caroline said:

    You mean the Hackensaw Boys cover band? I think there is only one original member left. The real Hackensaw Boys: Tom Peloso, David Sickmen, Bobby St. Ours

  32. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:53 pm32hipster-doofus said:

    How many originals were still around for the New Years show, or was that a reunion show? I remember seeing them when there were like 12 of them on stage.

  33. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:53 pm33caroline said:

    the boys who still insist on calling themselves the Hackensaw Boys are booked in Atlanta tonight.

  34. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:54 pm34caroline said:

    that was a reunion show

  35. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:55 pm35hipster-doofus said:

    p.s. 4 minutes? what took you so long? ;)

  36. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:57 pm36caroline said:

    I’m always close by for you hips.

  37. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:59 pm37caroline said:

    anyway back to topic before gobbler gets annoyed with us,
    Jim Waive with the Acorn Sisters is the best thing going on tonight….and Smoke free!

  38. 15 Feb 2008 at 7:59 pm38hipster-doofus said:

    Awww.. thanks, sweetie. When are you coming back to town?

  39. 15 Feb 2008 at 8:04 pm39caroline said:

    I’d say check your email but that would sound so cliquey so definitely do not check your email. Are you going to Jim Waive? Are you lilith?

  40. 15 Feb 2008 at 8:09 pm40hipster-doofus said:

    I’m certainly not lilith, or did you mean is she going? Sadly I have to work tonight. But I did see Jim Waive, etc. recently with nanigans, 2o4, and dijonbray at the tea-house..

  41. 15 Feb 2008 at 8:12 pm41TwoOFour said:

    I left before he came on, I think….dang that tini knocked my socks off

  42. 15 Feb 2008 at 8:16 pm42Stanley said:

    Street: members of the Hackensaw Boys played at Dust’s prom last night, I think. Are you mixing up your dates?

  43. 15 Feb 2008 at 8:32 pm43Street said:

    It’s definitely pissible. In fact, I have been whisked away to another party, and this one has booty-shaking madness on the menu. I think I’ll be having seconds tonight. Our(whoever that might be) first meeting will have to wait.

    ….um…”possible”, not “pissible”. :P

  44. 15 Feb 2008 at 8:51 pm44shenanigans said:

    Oooh, I would so be at Zinc if I didn’t have to work. That place is my home away from home. En francais.
    And how come y’all hang out at Maya now? I was going there all the time last year and nobody ever came to hang out with me. :(
