SaturDAY 1pm-? .. Woodlands is hosting a free pool party for cvillesocial members and their friends, providing burgers, hot dogs, fix-ins, etc. Starr Hill is bringing a couple kegs of free beer as well, though you may want to bring some of your own.

so come eat and drink on us, then go drink some more at escafe. sounds like a winning plan.
Thanks Lu Sid. I was wondering if we would have a Weekend Preview this week.
Monticello Tomato Tasting? Sounds disgusting
@2 Thank goodness it’s back. Last weekend I had no clue what I was missing out on because we had no preview! Now I know what excitement I’ll be missing while on my journey out of the ville.
improve at rapunzel’s? deliberate?
@5…last time i went to open mic at rapunzel’s, it should have been called improve night, as that’s what most of the acts needed to do (including mine
No problem echo! I am just sorry I left it to boys while I was gone…silly me.
Well, you’re back now so order has been restored.
@5 - No, sorry that was spell check gone wrong.
Yup-except for the free for all Thor stole from me…just rude.
I ain’t steal NOTHING from you.
/on the point
//just there at the right place and right time
We had to beg for a new FFA, and then we didn’t use it. Now I’m in internet time out.
Hahaha. Well enjoy your time out. Take crosswords they make it more fun.
/so beating everyone to the next F4A
Actually i was just going to sit in on a conference call. Don’t tell Tuesday I’m actually working. She wouldn’t be able to handle that.
What?! You are working?! Madness. What is this world coming to? Uh, we need to chat about our fabulous weekend that neither of us is out of town. Stop working and email me.
I’ll definitely be at the cVillain party doing the name tag thing. If you aren’t sure about going to a party with a bunch of blog people, trust me it’s not weird.
Just show up; you don’t have to be a commenter. Make sure you say hi to me and the other admins who will be there!
@16 yeah but if you hook up with anybody then you have to tell everybody about it, because this blog is actually a junior high social studies class project.
i sit by myself at lunch. and cry.
@17: i quit.
@17 you hooked up in junior high? You must have been the man!
you can’t quit. you’re an ejunkie.
@19: With the janitor. Hence the crying.
@21 OH SNAP!
oh man yeah, what i wouldn’t give to go back and relive the glory days of 7th grade! right? anyone? yeah!
Tuesday. Email. Check it. Now.
is there going to be like a big end of summer bash anywhere? or a ‘lets have a party before all the uva kids comeback and mess up everything’ party? i guess the escafe party is kind of like that, though…
@25 I would hope yes, but for those of us not affiliated with UVA, summer won’t end for weeks and weeks!
/cue up “Endless Summer” by the Beach Boys
@25: amusingly, per your previous comments about Wild Wing, I’ve heard tell of a possible outdoorsy music festival there going into the evening. Don’t know if this was just idle chatter.
no clue, i dont work there anymore so i couldnt tell ya…but what i can tell you is that the main bartender/bar manager there (i wont name his name, but the one that kind of looks like a big gorilla) is HORRIBLE, easily the worst bartender in charlottesville. he’s rude, unpersonable, and just acts like you’re bothering him everytime you order a drink. anyone a fan of mccgrady’s?
McGrady’s is fun, wouldn’t go there for late ngiht though.
@28 Does his name start with a J? There’s nothing better than sitting at an empty bar and having the bar tender not make eye contact so he doesn’t have to go through the pain of taking the cap off another bottle of Coors Light.
@ 30, i knew you would know who i was talking about! and yes and yes he is just awful, AND they recently promoted him…how does a person like that make his way up the ‘corporate ladder’ if you will, at a restaurant, where people are ENCOURAGED to be nice and friendly? I love julia at mccgrady’s, she’s great. joel will also be greatly missed, from zydeco (if you all even know who i’m talking about…i know the corner bars aren’t the most popular on here)
[…] as always, for more weekend events check out the Weekend Preview from our partners in crime over at cVillain. Over and […]
anyone who hasn’t yet heard Trees on Fire has a golden opportunity to see them at Pen Park for Better World Betty as seen above. i envy those of you able to attend, i will be at work humming their songs in my head
Lu Sid nice post but it’s spelled Albemarle
@3, well if you don’t like tomatoes it’s probably not your thing. But last fall I went to the Monticello Apple Tasting and it was actually pretty cool. There are a lot of heirloom varieties that you might not taste elsewhere.
I just saw the Bird Lips at FaFive and they were great!
Now what?
Now what?
Well, presumably, they continue to play shows in and around Charlottesville and the broader region, record a demo or two, and try to get noticed by a smaller independent record label that will propel them to success in the form of a 8+ review on Pitchfork. From there, all they can hope for is getting picked up by a major, not getting screwed, and maybe some coin from a product endorsement or two—their song in a movie or commercial.
Oh, you meant for you? No ideas.
Oh no! There might not be an Albemarle County Fair anymore.
Where am I supposed to watch lawn mower racing?
those lawn mowers gave me a hard on. raw horsepower! but i gotta say nothing tops the tumbling ride till you hurl ride and high fiving echo while upside down
lol too many rides i know. w/e it was worth $4
