What the Hell are You Doing for Halloween in Charlottesville?

halloween charlottesville

Between the Historic Society visit (on the train?), the film festival,  homecoming weekend and all the standard Halloween events, what are you doing?  We’ve heard of parties at the IX, X-Lounge, 2:16,  Rapture and the list goes on.

If you you can send us a link for what you are doing, we’ll compile one scary post for all the Halloween events and parties this weekend.

    It’s not 2:16, it’s 216. Like its address. Or maybe it’s for the number of ways it sucks.

    @2
    not sure you want so closely to use ’sucks’ and Club 216 in the same sentence.
    Are they having their annual transvestite (is that still the ‘correct’ term?) Fashion Show for Halloween?

    here’s info for another amusing event:

    The Masquerade Brawl
    {hot roller-derby chicks}
    http://www.charlottesvillederbydames.com
    Please join the Charlottesville Derby Dames for Charlottesville’s Premier Halloween Party this coming Friday from 8 pm to 2 am with live music by DJ Dalivah and Mass Sabbath. There will be a costume contest, silent auction with awesome stuff you can bid on including gift certificates for Maya and other local restaurants, “Green” home care products, a custom skateboard from Black Cat Skate shop, handbags, artwork, a case of wine, etc. The Dames will be introduced at 10:00 pm and ready to show off their skating skills, so come meet your hometown derby girls! There will also be a fortune teller, 50/50 raffle, a photo booth, food and plenty of COLD BEER and drinks. Tickets are available before the event at Black Cat Skate shop (behind Baja Bean on the Corner ), Sidetracks downtown, and from any derby dame.

    They are very cool ladies and many help at the CLAW events. You will probably see some CLAW ladies at the brawl. Mass Sabbath is the awesome, 8 million person, band that has played at S.B. the last few years. This year the are teaming up with the Dames at Ix. It’s good way to help get the Dames up on their wheels. I’m it is gonna be a crazy good time.

    @34 Not that overrated… It’s nice to have someone comiserate and/or laugh or not laugh at your dumb jokes and drink with you. Otherwise, one looks kind of nutso crying over her glass of wine while she laughs out loud at joke she just told herself inside her head.

    A valet? Only if he attends to other needs, as well… But I’m no where near moneyed enough to indulge in such a luxury.

    @35 Do remember that show, on A&E I think, the reality one with Victoria Gotti? I had never seen anything like them before in my life. They don’t even look real. Do they know how douchey they look? They remind me of the cartoon character who stuck their finger in a light socket. Crispy and spikey.

  42. 29 Oct 2008 at 9:47 pm
    Beautiful, But Treacherous said:

    @41 Yeah.. sort of a mix between Donatella Versace and Joan Rivers. Now John Gotti, he was a handsome guy back in the day, around the late 80s. Minus the throat cancer and life in prison, I’m sure he would’ve aged nicely.

    one of gotti’s nephews, a super guy, runs a business downtown. dunno how close they were/are.

    @38
    we drink and laugh together all the time. you just need to have a few more before/while typing.
    valet-wise, we could probably split one… i think you live just around the corner from me.

    now, though… OTHER NEEDS… a recurring theme with you these recent late nights. For the good of Cvillain and to keep such PG talk off a family website and the non-FFA threads… shall we ‘cover’ that as soon as convenient for you?

    gotti’s fave nephew (allegedly) runs a shop downtown–a super guy.
    friends are for losers. we laugh and drink with you—you just need a few more glasses before/while typing.
    valet-wise, don’t stay home without one. we could split a manservant: you live right around the corner from me.

    NOW, as to this ‘other needs’ business–a recurring theme in your recent late-nite posts–just to keep this PG stuff off a family website and non-FFA threads, could we make reasonable arrangements to ‘cover’ this at your soon convenience?

  45. 29 Oct 2008 at 11:21 pm
    Beautiful, But Treacherous said:

    @43, 44 And just how exactly did you deduce that I live around the corner from you? I don’t even know where you live, much less do I believe that I’ve hinted as to where I live on this thing.

    What kind of a shop does this alleged favorite nephew run? Not trying to attach anything to this guy, but on the subject of Gotti… My dad jokingly says that he wishes the Italian mafia in this country never collapsed because they were the only thing it seemed to be protecting us from the government. Never let them get too big for their britches, to use an antiquated phrase.

    I can ony laugh as to the suggestion about taking this recurring theme of mine off of this site. It’s probably for my own good that I just learn to not even mention it… it’s a constant and probably something I just need to learn to live with. I’m not even sure how to take it off of here to make “arrangements” without going public with contact information (not that all the moderators don’t know it…)

    @45
    i note from your uneven gait that you have some light wear on the instep of your shoes; this points to unsteady but brief quotidean walking on uneven or rough terrain, which means semi-rural, but the shoes themselves are too nice for strictly country wear… so that would indicate a recently constructed/landscaped dwelling. There is a slight aroma of chlorine about you, but fading–you have a pool nearby, but it’s been drained—since you can’t afford a valet, this means the pool is not your own, which puts you in a newish condo-complex. Your hours also suggest that you are close enough to town to work late, but not so centrally located as to be able to walk Downtown or to the Corner, or to force yourself to find a job on the Mall to which you could walk. Though you often mention food-cravings at midnight but don’t just go grab a snack, that means you aren’t in Forest Lakes, or near Seminole or Barracks, all of which have 24-hour snackeries. Giant on Pantops is the only major supermarket that closes at midnight with none other near-so you clearly and without question live in condos by Pantops, on the ground-level, in one of the newer units/buildings, and close to the gym/recreation-center.

    @46 Not to shabby there gov’nah. Except now I know where you live and you still don’t know where I live. Although, without knowing me, you’re pretty spot-on about the “newish condo-complex”. But not in Pantops. And no to working in or near the Mall or Corner. Other side of town. Laughingly self-perceived prestigious mid-size institution. And the Teeter is open 24 hours.

    Craig’s is too-too complicated!!! w4mmsm? WTF!?!?!?!

    this is SO SAD, though:

    For a year we have been going round and round about us. At times, I thought maybe it would work out, then you pulled back. You clearly cannot give me all of you which is what I deserve. I cannot keep being the girl that you call when you want to tell me something huge or just tell me what you made for breakfast. I want you, but not unless I can have all of you. I can’t be a consolation prize. I am way too good for that! You know it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it, so hopefully through my silence you either realize you need me, or I maybe I realize I don’t need you as much as I thought. Either way what is meant to be, will be,in time. But I do miss you.
