Yay for Friday! What a week! We told you how to donate some organs, a fire broke out, echo died, while finding new iphones we met some newbies, we discussed some teaching woes, and apparently here and there some of us worked at our places of employment.
No more work. Time to play! Get your red panties on, sit out in the sun, call your neighbors to come play, and have yourself a firecrotch:
Check out Art/Music over at MUSE.
Fridays After Five-Tonight!
All American Bluegrass Jam-Thursday, Friday. Saturday in Orange
First Colony Winery Pig Roast-Saturday a 11:00 a.m. in celebration of Dad. Jimmy O will be playing.
The Moses, Raquellos, The Vamanos-These bands will be tearing it up at Saxx Lounge on Saturday. Doors at 8pm/Music 9pm – $5 (this is my last music steal from MUSE-promise)
Here are links to the band pages:
The Moses Band

There is of course the Crush and Wine Shop wine tastings and Beer Run will be in full force Friday night. The Photograph Festival is going on downtown. Both the Cville and Crozet farmer’s market will be open Saturday morning.
Last, I have a homework assignment for you all. I was listening to 106.1 the other day and heard about “Taste This”, which is supposed to be the new name for A Taste of Charlottesville. I heard something about a Tuesday and the Alum Hall lawn. I can find NOTHING on this. Am I losing my mind? Probably, but in the meantime do any of you know anything about this?
Have a good weekend villians! As always be sure to comment on what we may have missed!

That show at Saxx promises to be awesome. That’s what I’ve heard anyway.
hey. the link to the moses band goes to the corn article. what gives?
parlie’s slackin cuz he’s hungover
That doesn’t make any sense! That post wasn’t even up when I posted this!
future linking is the new black
Um, hello, FESTIVAL OF THE PHOTOGRAPH????!!!! That is definitely the hugest thing going on this weekend. Sweet baby Jeebus.
I put that at the bottom–but I was trying to save SOME stuff for MUSE. No more being nice, it just gets me scolded.
Lu Sid is nice?
whoever fixed the link is nice. thank you.
Thor has small hands?
@7: Not everybody goes to MUSE. We can talk about it on here too. Thanks!
i know shan’s might love this comment, but it comes from a good place….WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE PIG ROASTS!? I have been to a million in the past month and can’t say I am impressed with home-cooks/amateurs attempts at cooking a whole pig in a make-shift smoker. Honestly, its a waste of a pig. I have heard good things about local bbq caterers like Big Jim’s (that right?)….seriously leave it to the pro’s. Shan’s I guess this is my effective ban on pork…at least until the next catered event.
why does MUSE always have to be capitalized?
i always feel like i’m being yelled at about art
@12 Big Jim’s closed
grrrrrrrr so who is the go-to pig roaster for events in town?
@12: I am willing to share my portobello burgers with you.

I hear you though, Coco. All these pig roasters seem to have no idea what SEASONING is.
@ 13
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
@13: STYLE is capitalized too.
you’re capitalized
thanks for fixing the link, parlie. you’re the best.
if i could type in a samuel jackson voice, i would yell at girth all the time. unfortunately i broke my shift key many years ago.
Yer MOM is capitalized
@18 i agree….seasoning is one important part as is heat! When the skin on the outside of the pig comes out burned, you know they screwed the pooch. I know you might cringe…but the skin is a delicacy for smoked/roast meats, so it should come out edible. Meat inside is another story….
How do you feel now, NewmaN, knowing that parlie was the “nice” person that fixed your link?
Parlie IS nice…. for me to poop on.
Ugh, you scat fetishists make me sick.
oh hey newman, didn’t see you there. i’m changing your link to bukake aggregator.
@24: Unfortunately, most dudes cooking the pigs aren’t chefs but normal dudes who feel manly cooking a big piece of meat on some fire. My own dad is guilty of this. I once dated a BBQ chef (yes we thought the irony was hilarious) and he told me a lot about cooking over certain types of wood and really slowly and all this stuff I really didn’t want to know and most pig roasters don’t seem to know either. It’s sad that people go to these fun parties and eat all this not well-cooked, not seasoned meat.
So I’m going to try to do Market St, Beer Run and Crush wine tastings in an hour today? Anyone think it’s possible or care to join?
What time you doing my neighbor Mkt St? I’ll meet you.
@31,32
i am soooooooooooooooo down for market st
@15 del fosse did a pig roast last fall with a company from the eastern part of the state. they were awesome caterers & had this whole pig-smoker contraption & these amazing “everything” brownies. i have their flyer back in c’ville (as if i’m going to cater my own pig roast). del fosse is doing another pig roast this summer but i think they’re using a different caterer, but i’m sure they’ll be good (& professional) too.
@31 bfd. i’ve done market street alone in 10 minutes.
Big fun to be had on Saturday night at the Starry Nights at Veritas Vineyards.
Really an awesome time, cheap to get in, you can bring your own food, and have wine, walk thru the vines, have a bonfire, listen to live music.
@31, 32: Assuming these meetings ever end I’m going at 5:45.
@36 I am certain I will run into you at one of your locations. Fridays too?
@36: Yeah, I won’t even get home till 6:30. Nevermind.
You people are not making me feel happy about my plan to hit the gym after work.
I’m hitting the gym too if it makes you feel any better, Stan. I have a date with the Stairmaster. Expect me to be very sweaty at Fridays.
@6:
one note on:
phesti de la foto…
there is a giant awesome screen by the fountain at the edge of zo.ca.lo’s patoi that is playing a wide selection of “the year’s best photographs in print” from many publications-newspapers, magazines, weeklies…
it’s pretty cool. and i have also heard there are projections of photos on the side of the SNL building.
@39 on a Friday? Seriously
@41: We saw those last Friday! It was awesome. We ran to my house and grabbed a bottle of wine and some plastic cups and stood watching it in the alley across from Fleurie. But there were only like twenty pictures and then it repeated.
@36 i’ll be at market st. around then, echo
@37: Of course I’ll be at Fridays. Let me know when you get to town/go to wine tasting.
@45: And if you keep your eyes peeled echo, you may see one of my many cats chilling in the parking lot of market st.
haha shen’s the cat lady.
oops forgot this
/don’t kill me
