hey. the later shows at the paramount start at 9:30 instead of 10:30. just sayin’.
I heard FREE SLURPEES at 7-11 all day too. And you don’t have to dress up like a cow.
RE: The Paramount movies. Friday shows are at 7 and 9:30pm. Saturday shows at 4 & 7pm. Sunday shows at 1 and 4pm. At least that’s the info from the Paramount’s website. See ya at the movies.
Im sure you are all sick of hearing it, but I will be spinning a metric ass load of new smash hits at the snatch tonight around elevenish…
/return of the flyer!
Don’t forget about the free wine tastings. They are the best way to start off Friday with a solid buzz.
OMG, that flyer is amazing
Thor hearts B-yo.
this is the second image I’ve seen this week of a human body / farm animal head / cat in hands (hooves?). where are these coming from?
@9 The Internet?
Where are the wine tastings, echo?
@11: Market Street Wine Shop, Beer Run and Crush
Lu Sid, great job with the Weekend Preview, but I don’t know how you managed to leave off the Madison County Tractor Pull tomorrow.
echo you email me the details and I will put it up.
Under it should it say, “echo disparately seeking playmate for this classy events” ?
I have to find the deets and I’ll email it to you. My boss just came into my office and was very excited/animated about the tractor pull this weekend. To answer your question, absolutely.
Wow, what a boss.
You have no idea.
My boss just came into my office and was very excited/animated about the tractor pull
Maybe that’s just his way of asking for a tuggy.
And here I thought only women could sleep their way to the top.
@19 you Flirtresses have such a narrow view of how the world works. stayin in town tonight?
@20: Yeah I am. Market Street at 6.
@21 the charlottesville drinking gods are very happy with your decision, echo.
If you’re going to road trip all the way down to Chateau Morrisette for the Black Dog Wine & Blues Festival, I would highly recommend coming back via the town of Floyd and stopping for dinner at Oddfellas Cantina. http://www.oddfellascantina.com/ (less than a block from the one and only stop light in Floyd County.) It’s been a while since I’ve eaten there, but it’s still owned by the same folks, so I’m sure it’s still good.
Why is there so much Weekend Preview and so little Reviews of Savour and snazzy iPaper menus of it? That, along with To be or not to be, and what is in the cupboard? are the questions. So there ha.
Bastille day week-end festivities have already started, hope to see you guys in numbers at zinc tonight for panda transport cd release show and on Bastille day July 14th for DJ Thierry spinning French love.
Plenty of drinks special awaits.
i heart Panda Transport!! yay T&Kat!
i’m going to go out on a limb and say greyhaven winery is NEVER worth the trek. it’s like a hobbit winery. go to delfosse instead.
Anybody else butthoused out there? Thank yo VERITAS!!!! Starry Nights was off the chain. Well done, and Abbey Road was actually prroty awesome. Hoooooooooooooooooooray!
warms my heart to see such exuberant drunk posting. yay for tuffy!
@29 email me, I need input for an upcoming article. cbobDOTcvillainATgmail.com
away from my laptop… I just tried to email, but I got a weird message from my shitty webmail. so if you didn’t get it, I’ll try again from home in a few hours.
I had a Lord of The Flies experience at “All Good” in case anyone is interested. I’ll be holding court at SS on Tuesday to discuss. First shift only for a limited time. I guarantee a lot of WTF’s?
Lord of the Flies? Do tell!
Taliesin has the conch!
I’m not sure that I’ve wrapped my mind around what occurred this weekend yet. Certainly not enough to write it in a cohesive paragraph or 20. Disturbing and satanic and grammar school come to mind which are the same thing w/ less knives and boars involved. Mob rule. Scary and creepy but not in a good way. Nope…can’t do it. Civilized societal breakdown? What happens when you get a bunch of spoiled fake people together in an element beyond their capacity? When allowed to be free to their baser instincts. Their true instincts. They turn on the weak link. But only in a pack.
It will sound funnier on Tuesday after a few beers. I have shows at 6 and 7. Plus, I’m afraid of these people. And the ship hasn’t rescued them yet.
Alright now I’m very curious. Damn. Won’t make it to story time @ SS Tuesday.
/you obviously read the book before the movie.
No don’t have the conch, but I did see the hole and the mole people. That was the only fun part. It was a Dead Show circa 1995 when Jerry decided to die because everyone was a poseur. A bead dancing, wheat skirt adorned lie. Patchouli smelling, Woodstock the Movie watching Volvo driving, short skirt wearing caricature of everything. That will be my last one. You can’t go home again. I just made that up.
I went to All Good once years ago, and I was disgusted at what I saw there. And anyone who knows me can tell you that I’m not exactly Mr. Uptight either. I can’t count how many hippie parents were engaging in heavy drug use while their kids (anywhere from infant through grade school aged) were sitting right next to them. And I’m not just talking about smoking some doobers here, folks. We are talking full-blown, tripping balls, candy flipping, bongo banging, wailing like an exorcism was taking place while screaming in strange tongues. This is all while their kids are literally crying their eyes out in want of food/diapers/AC/responsible parenting.
“Sorry kids, mommy and daddy are in some other alternate dimension at the moment, you’ll have something to eat once our hallucinogens finally wear off in 8-12 hours!”
It literally made me sick.
@ 37 & 38
You sound surprised, as if the cancer that is the vacuous loss of the golden rule hasn’t destroyed the possibilities of such festivities. Its time for something new, not these commodified regurgitations of the skeletal remains of something that died long ago. I dont know what that something might be, but I’ve been keeping my eyes open.
hmm. i hung with freinds, and we camped up under a tree in magnolia circle. other than the pshshsh of tanks abounding, it was pretty chill. the heat wasn’t that bad so i got the sleep i needed.
the music was good. there was a fun dj set with bassncetar (ever heard of him cvillain djs)?, too.
the only very strange part noted was folks who had bandanas around their faces, outlaw style- does anyone know if this is some drug thing? they seemed a little off- but then again the two could be unrelated since a few people seemed a little off.
@40: You are a hippie.
i’ve sometimes been accused of being a hippie, and i wouldn’t go near all good if you paid me a fucking million units of hippie currency. (which everybody knows is grilled cheese sandwiches.)
they’ll add tomato to the stinky sandwich if you pay them an extra dollar, but be sure to wipe off all the opium and patchouli. (which are the same thing.)
For the French in all of you “happy Bastille Day”. If you want somewhere to go and celebrate the French 4th of July come by zinc tonight, we have a French Dj, French food , French Drinks and of course French Kisses. Specials on bubbles, rose wine and French beer plus $1 off bottle beers happy hours until 9pm, we might even throw in a fire shooter since we can’t shoot fireworks in the middle of main street.
Hope to see you all there
Vive la France
@ 43 Throw in Baguette Jousting and Im there.
i may replace it by Camembert tossing
Le jour de gloire est arrive!
/not smart enough to know how to type an accent aigu
46: á = á
é = é
etc.
need to ask nay nay for that, she is the pro of french grammar
ALT + 0233 = é
Thanks, Frenchy — Stanley’s got me covered.
/still not brave enough to try. There should be a practice blog somewheres for folks sans html skillz.
Wait, the French 4th of July is on July 14th? That explains everything.
still not brave enough to try. There should be a practice blog somewheres for folks sans html skillz.
Here. Clear that field completely and test away.
I want zum fronch keeesses
ALT + 0233 = é
Do the alt codes come through on cVillain?
Testing: é, á, í, ó, ú, ¿, ¡
/p.s. shenanners: alt+130 works for acute e, too.
@52 Magnifique! C’est parfait!
Très bien Monsieur le Stanley! You are…how do you say...le… compétent
But seriously, nobody calls it an acute e. Dork.
Remember I am of the Apple product side of things.
/zut alors
58: In that case it’s apple + e, then the letter you want accented.
/upping the dorkitude

Wait. It’s option + E. I think.
(/don’t have a proper Mac keyboard with me)
That didn’t fucking work. !¤#$%!©#!
You have to end it with a semicolon. Not sure if it works here. Test: ♥

Holy crap, I’ve opened Pandora’s box. I’m outta here before Thor strikes me down.
@41: i think it’s more of a natural proclivity to circus-like atmospheres. with live music. out-of-doors.
and a certain ?learning curve? that keeps me from getting stuck in icky places.i definately saw the underbelly of the beast in the past. now i bring my own food and boxes of wine. that’s enough for me.
the tree was key, as well. and it wasn’t as hot as the time i went 4 years ago and thought i was going to become a sundried scoriole before i’d make it off that mountaintop.
@54: how does one turn a “?” upside down?
@64 how’d you do that?
@67: Hippie!
@68: Type ♥ and then a semi colon
♥
awww, i ♥ you shen!
I know.
@54: how does one turn a “?” upside down?
Either type alt+168 (on the number pad) or ¿ = ¿
@64. that’s looking suspicously close to hippie, yourself.
let’s see if i can do some of this stuff on my apple.

Have you been telling yourself that this doesn’t happen in homes across America daily? Right here in Cville, we’ve had babies show up at the ER with coke in their systems. Don’t kid yourself and think this behavior is limited to the “hippie” population.
There were far fewer kids at Allgood that at other festivals. Most of the spunions seemed to be young. Some had dogs, but few had kids.
Soma for the masses.
Stress causes cortisol causes one of two reactions: anorexia or obesity.
‘It is also a hedonistic society, deriving pleasure from promiscuous sex and drug use, in the form of soma, a powerful psychotropic rationed by the government that is taken to escape pain and bad memories through hallucinatory fantasies, referred to as “Holidays”. Additionally, social stability has been achieved and is maintained via deliberately engineered and rigidly enforced social stratification.’
