It was a week of confusions, tears and spring fever. Maybe it was the 70+ degree weather, the darkness on the mall or the drugs in the drinking water… I don’t know. All I know is this week, much like other weeks was wild, cvillainous, and wonderful. We celebrated with an awesome pub crawl and a farewell to Lilith.
We begin the week with things out of the ordinary. From darkness on the downtown mall, to Charlottesville’s potentially drugged drinking water, to the not-so-smart Kentucky lawmaker who wants to ban anonymous internet posting, confusion ran rampant through our parts. As typical with cVillains, we quickly realized that our confusion would best be resolved in a battle of wits and strength.
Charlottesville Ladies Arm Wrestling provided us with the much needed bread and circuses. Ah, maybe it was too much of a distraction, because someone driving a truck didn’t see the sign and crashed into the bridge o’ death on the corner.
Others (with more wit) went the way of the new restaurant in Belmont called, “The Local.” We cover its menu, a soft opening and your opinions. We will soon publish our review.
Over dinner, we discuss many of the finer things of life. Discussions move the way of the serious as we debate the health of Charlottesville’s economy, and which local celebrities support which politicians.
Because we often drink too much, our conversations devolve into puerility. So did the baby diaper mustache, the desire to play hookie at Miller’s patio, and those awkward conversations for hump day.
Keeping up on trends, we wonder whether the new Landmark Hotel will have a rooftop martini bar. I sure do hope so. Maybe we can commit one of the new seven deadly sins on top of the rooftop deck. What do you think?
Hearing vintage war planes over Charlottesville meant one of two things. Either we are going to war with the Prussians, or that someone wasn’t sober. Either way, we couldn’t verify the planes, but we found out that many of us are plane fans.
Competition time, baby! That’s right, don’t forget our infamous red panties competition.
Since, we are a “news and gossip” site, we shouldn’t forget the finer art of gossip. Our super informative birdie lets us all the gossip around town. Additionally, TheUpstart leaks a rumor about Led Zeppelin coming in October to JPJ. We bitch about blockbuster and start pointing fingers about kickball.
Then, lilith died. It was a good death for her and we are sad to hear her go. We will always keep her in our hearts. We also know that her presence will still linger. Perhaps, there are other ladies that can rise the the challenge?
We finish the week with a very special steak holiday and girl problems.
Oh wait, how could we forget the pub crawl!! We raised over $2,000 for AIDS/HIV Services Group. ROCK ON!

Some people have way too much time on their hands.
/non sequitur
rise the the challenge…
Speaking of raising canes…
What will the CvilleMUSE be, and when is it going to be functional? All it says is “Coming Soon”. It certainly takes a long time to get off.
Thor, if I may…
cvillemuse will be to the arts what cvillain (used to be) to food, and a big fat seagull told me it launches this week.
Apologies in advance for randomness here, but if anyone’s feeling a need for culture “In The Blood” opened last weekend at Live Arts. It runs for two more weeks Wednesday - Saturday. It’s a beautiful show, intense, challenging, and extremely well-acted. Susan Lori-Parks, the author, is in my opinion one of today’s best playwrights. It revived my theater joy after the “Lysistrata” experience.
And my show opens next week! I can’t critique it, I’m biased. But for anyone interested in seeing me as a ukulele-playing prostitute, “Mother Courage” is just for you.

Hell fire! I’m there!
what’s the going rate for a uku-lay-lay?
/mad props to the costume dept, too
“In The Blood” is hot, and tough. There’s a New Yorker article last week about how plays do not have to be a about someone who fails due to a flaw. Sometimes it’s about looking from the inside of the situation out. Well done play.
that is a weird picture. it looks like mc in a turtleneck watching the sunset.
OOPS
Is the site acting weird for anyone else?
Yeah I can only get to a couple stories.
Me too.
Whats weird is that the code is all there, are you guys using IE also? Is it weird in Firefox?
I’m using Firefox, and it’s weird for me. I doubt it is browser specific.
Yup I think it has to do with whatever is embedded in the Offcie Prank article; It’s cut off at the middle on buth the home page and the post page. If that makes sense.
/feeling lost
Maybe the newkids at the MUSE are sabotaging the site in the hopes that we’ll all startting commenting over there
soooo lost!
Maybe it’s the hookers. Why isn’t this page messed up at all?
It’s back!!
who dunnit?
Fixed it. That post was whack.
I’m ok now….you?
Sorry, this little glitch is the result of a Spicy Bear intra-office prank. Lilith came in to clear out her desk and Kyle and I had pulled the paper-cups-full-of-water-stapled-together prank on her, she got pissed and flipped her desk over (who saw that coming?) and the resulting water flooded our server room. We’ll have everything back up and running soon.. (Kyle’s in there with a 55 gallon drum of silica-gel and some hair-dryers now).
Looks ok to me. Something was seriously crazy in that post! It had the html (or php as it were) eating disease.
don’t forget about the Cntral VA syphilis outbreak!
Whaaaa?????
Trying something…
