Thanks to your input for Halloween, we have a pretty scary list of things. Overall, we expect this weekend to be insanely busy. It’s homecoming weekend with a home football game, a film festival, hundreds of people coming in town for some historic society event (I still can’t find info on this) and then, oh ya, Halloween parties galore.
Without further ado…
Friday Night – Halloween
Halloween on the UVA Lawn: Between 4 and 6pm, go watch lots of really little kids dress up in Halloween costumes. This is probably the cutest event to watch in Charlottesville and if you are on grounds, make the stop.
Masquerade Ball: Hosted by the Charlottesville Derby Dames (the women’s roller derby league), doors open at 8PM for this fundraiser event. Tickets are $15, but get you Mass Sabbath and DJ Dalivah.
Halloween Extravaganza: Kings of Belmont, Travis Elliot and Gunchu X play at R2. Tickets cost $5, doors open at 8:30PM.
DJ Cadence, DJ Double_E, and DJ AudioRapture will be spinning House, Minimal Techno, and Progressive House at Dust from 11 pm to 2 am on Halloween night.
This event is $5 with Costume, $10 without.
More Music: Straight Punch to the Crotch at Zinc at 10PM. Robert Randolph at the Pavilion. Tickets cost $25, doors open at 6PM.
Saturday
Historic Mob Invades Downtown Mall – Can someone find a link for this? I can’t.
UVA Plays Miami: Kickoff Starts at Noon and this is a homecoming game. Stay far, far away from UVA unless you are going to the game.
What’d we miss?

Me too. Halloween is the best holiday EVAR.
dj eSc at escafé, 11-2. they have some special thing going on that starts at 10 and involves cocktails, but im not sure what it is.
Montpelier Races in Orange on Saturday. The prettier version of Foxfield.
Every year there’s a haunted house for charity on Monroe Hill on grounds (this year for Computers4Kids). $5 to get in, 7:30-12 tonight and tomorrow night, with the first half hour more little-kid friendly.
OT, but I’m going to be in town for one night near the end of Nov. I want to find a hotel within walking of decent eats (because I plan on drinking. a lot.). The Omni has no vacancy and there may be space at the skanky red roof on the corner. Not having any clue about the current restaurant scene are there any other options any of you can think of? thks

Hampton Inn on Main is alright, but very Motel Sixish.
Midway between Downtown and Corner.
South Street Inn downtown is swell.
Motel Sixish I can handle. Stayed at South Street in the past but out of my budget for a quickie one-nighter. Thanks!
Best food/drink options still Corner/downtown mall?
Computers4Kids is getting everyone’s moneys this year. I knew we should have supported the dilapidated porch fund.
Mr Bingley…. this is a small bed and breakfast in Belmont which is cheap as chips leaving you loads of money to spend on beer and loose woman. It is just down the street from Mas/The Local/La Taza or a less than 10 min waddle to Downtown Mall.
HTH

@8 – Actually, there are a lot of great places between the Corner and the Mall – a growing area we like to call “Midtown”. If you’ve never checked it out, you should.
spend on beer and loose woman
Damn, I knew there was only one of her…
ddg….Self promotion is a talent
Marriot, 1201 W. Main. Or Inn at Ct. Sq., excellent restaurant downstairs too.
@11 – yeah, the pickings were a little slim there in the mid 80s…
@10 – beer, wine, food get my spending money; if i dabble in “loose” women than i “lose” my woman…
@10
good for you—i’m kicking myself for forgetting that excellent woman and her excellent establishment.
and the wacked-out blonde Patagonia(TM)-bedazzled guy all the chicks dig who works there.
Otter…Are you talking about Brad?… slight build, surfer hair?
@18
yes—i love that kid, enjoy his company tremendously.
zany globetrotter philosopher wit and warm-hearted first-order-freak.
Damnit… seems we have a common friend. One of you will have to go. The code must be upheld.
@20
too late, moonbeam. already heard alllllllllllllllllll about you.
your MANY secrets are safe with me. i’m happy to know that in-de-flesh you are as THOROUGHLY exotic and clever as you have seemed Lo! these many months web-wise.
I think I will be the scariest thing i can think of this halloween… a mormon.
@17, 18, 19 Is this a guy who is from Virginia but sounds as if he had sprung from the loins of Jeff Spicoli and the sub-culture of the So-Cal surf crowd?
@22 Fabulous idea! Next time they come round I’ll just give them candy and shoo them away.
My daughter went to school today wearing a big t-shirt and flannel pj pants.
She said she was a ‘nudist on strike.’
@25
hahahahahaha!
@21
No worries, Floozy. If though our mutual Shane Patrick Dorian knockoff can place me, and spills, you may find yourself somewhat less adamantine in your abstemiousness to my carnal offerings. Take comfort though in this, from a pamphlet just handed me outside by the cutest little asian woman:
“…Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it…”
@26 Referring to @23, so does he?

@27
mid-late 30s and looks surfer or river-rat or ridge-runner or other uber-outdoorsy type, much fleece and patagucci, but too bright/animated yet brooding-philosophico/travelled to characterize as mere Spiccoli. Chicks dig him. If you dug him, that’s probably the guy. Don’t THINK he’s from VA. You may be speaking of Nelly, who is actually IRISH thoroughbred but speaks in VA surfer lingo. and, of course, in the meat world i myself talk like Keanu Reeves in Point Break whenever I can.
BBT.. he is not from VA
@29, 30…. Thanks. Maybe I’m thinking he said he was from Virginia. Or maybe he was born here. I met him a couple times through a co-worker when he came in to my work. But he was the most interesting character I’d ever met… And the Spicoli reference was only a way to describe the style in which he spoke, Very “whoah,dude, totally bitchin’.” But that’s not how he talked. Seemed very intelligent, and as you say OD, very animated. Tallish, slight-build, gorgeous head of hair, a rich deep blond… I was just curious.
My curiousity can sometimes come across as impatience…
@29: Sorry OD, you sound like Woody Allen in real life
@29 I think I was more fascinated by him than anything… rather than having dug him.
Meat world?
@32
a whiny octagenarian pederast new york jew?
/are you sure we’ve met?
Yay!!! Halloween!!! The Pre Halloween Electro Show featuring Jeffree Star at Club 216 was amazing!!! Jeffree Star put on a fierce show!!!
@31 BBT …. I really don’t think we are talking about the same guy…. he’s short. Very. Makes me feel Amazonian.
@31, @36
definitely the wrong guy, sorry. i think i know the one you’re talking about, BBT… can’t put a name to him.
5′10″ is amazonian, Floozy… and not a BAD thing by any stretch. greater leverage, fulcrum-arm length, etc.
BBT treat yourself to a nice dinner and overnight at the B&B… you’ll dig this lad (one assumes Floozy isn’t dating him), and love the owner who is a complete sweetie and fascinating in her own right.
most uncreative costume award goes to any sports jersey wearing persons..
/FAIL
PLEASE tell us parlie dressed as a leprechaun or herring-damning irish-sailor (rum-SODOMY-and the lash!) or Shane MacGowan from the Pogues with no teeth (RUM-sodomy-and the lash!) or a coal-faced Molly MacGuire (sean connery’s film of these guys named the Dirtiest Movie Ever Made) or something equally ethnically offensive (we Irish are the last Peoples on the planet one is allowed to offend this way).
@38: Thor your costume sucked balls.
I went up to this guy who was dressed in Marine Whites including shoes, and asked him what he was… he says “I’m a Marine” and gave me a snooty look so I said to him ‘Oh I thought you were a Tampax that had lost it’s string’
/don’t give Drunky Flooze the snooty look… it’s always going to end badly.
Ahahaha. Did you see Doof’s costume? He was a human size iPhone. Best costume evar.
@ 42 Doof’s costume was the most elaborate thing I’ve ever seen. I helped him with the graphics, but god damn I had no idea what he had up his sleeve. Illuminated and everything! Too bad some douchnozzle broke it late in the evening.
This was my costume. I got completely wrecked and my kids had to come and carry me home. How embarrassing…. I said “Lego of me” but I was so trollied I couldn’t put up much of a fight.
@44: FAIL
second try
@ 44 You went as a “404 page not found” error? Hawt.
@44 Your hands, though, were ideal for holding beverages.
Actually 26 world,if you observe the rigid arms and projected arc of drink to mouth, I poured 5 drinks on my head before someone got me a very long straw.
I always knew you had a drinking problem.
My costume was awesome. I had a long black wig with bangs and I yelled at everyone in a British accent.
I put on a red wig and went around yelling at people like a valley girl….I was awesomer.
I shaved clean (no burns), gelled my hair into a wall street do, put on a conservative dark blue suit, white shirt and power tie. The item that tied it all together? My “Proud to be a republican / GOP” button. Then I ran around escafe preaching defense of marriage. I was easily the scariest one there.
@52: I had to pad my underwear to make my ass look really big.
I taped my tits flat
It took along time to draw on all those crow’s feet.
I put CRIME SCENE DO NOT ENTER tape across my vajayjay because it contains most of the DNA in Charlottesville. Grissom wants to borrow it for the next CSI episode…
i dressed up like myself from four years ago, except without the accessory of an annoying bald drunk guy, and the nice tan.
@57: Cool. I stuffed day old tuna fish in the crotch of my control top pantyhose.
That whole banter has made me laugh a lot…thanks for making my day. I was having a case of the Mondays.
hahahahahaha…running out are we? Tell you what, this is going to run past your clock-off time of 5pm, so why don’t we let you get off home and settled in to your empty lonely spinster apartment, because I have a herd of gorgeous kiddies to get dinner ready for. See you back here later when you are doing your best Bridget Jones impression?
I won’t be all by myself, I’ve got the three cats. Shit.
You win this time, Flooze. This time!
I wuv you really xx
P.S. Your kids called me and wanted me to ask you not to pass out at the table again with a gin and tonic in hand while they pretended to eat the still half-frozen fish sticks you made for dinner.
Your cats called and said please stop screaming at them “Why do they always LIE to me….WHY?..WHY?WHY?” because it’s putting them off the over indulgent food you give them because you have nothing else to focus your affection on.k?
Tell your husband he left his watch on my nightstand this afternoon.
Did he tell you that he loved you? He’s a bastard like that.
Those unhappily married men always do that.
Well I’ll have to ask him about that later, when I’m back from spending all his money. It’s so cool being unhappily married. You should try it if you can ever make it past the first date.
I’d love to wittily reply to that but it’s 5 o’clock and that means it’s time to hit the gym where I go to keep my young supple under 30 bod all nice and toned.
/I wuv you too xoxo
Tell me more…
@49 – 70, in regards to @60… I don’t like Mondays either. But you’re right, the witty exchange made me snort in amusement…
I’d love to wittily reply to that but it’s 5 o’clock and that means it’s time to hit the gym where I go to keep my young supple
under 30only just under 30 bod all nice and toned./fixed that for you Shen…
@42, Awww a code violation just to drag me out of lurker-dom? Thats sweet.
btw, your costume contest = FAIL or was it my own fault for not coming up with something funnier? I for one thought my inability to walk, drink, sit, or urinate was hilarious. Should I have entered the “sexiest costume” part? Every girl loves her i, phone, though none wanted to get freaky with one…
@43 Thanks mucho for the help. I thought for sure you’d throw a scowly icon in there, but I didn’t ask for one either.
doofy!
/ah, the old days….
hey sweety! came down to see you a while back but you wer’nt werkin so I settled for some time with mutual friends.
/ah, the old days…. Indeed!
Doof…. that’s really strange that you didn’t have a load of chicks after you…. I mean everyone knows AT&T goes down more often than any other network.
Yeah, doof, you should have at least had some chicks touching your touch screen
Nobody mentioned the AMAZINGGGGGGGGG NIN concert tonight. Holy crap, Trent put on a good show.
the concert was amazing. the crowd .. less so.
JPJ was probably 2/3rds full, at most? more like 1/2. sad that charlottesville can’t fill up an area for a NIN show, especially it being the only show he’s doing in VA.
@ 79 that’s because wednesday =/= weekend.
agree that it was awesome, though… easily in my all-time top 3. trent is amazing.
That’s because NIN = so 10 years ago
@82: Kiiiiinda what I was thinking.
