One of cVillain’s favorite restaurants on the mall will be celebrating it’s one year anniversary under new management this evening, with music videos, a toast at midnight, & that special form of exotic dance known as ‘table’ being performed until 2AM.
Come down and show your support for a fun and varied atmosphere, unlike any other.
We had a delicious and classy evening last night @ The Local. Theo & Adam showed off a few new drinks, and we got to try out a great selection of their appetizers. They also had nothing but great things to say about cVillain, probably because we’ve been fans of theirs since the early days. One lucky commenter will also win a pair of entrées on the house.
We are taking back Belmont again (who knew we lost it?), with our third weekly Club Villain event tonight, hosted by The Local. Theo & Adam have graciously put together some great food and drink choices, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone out and about to enjoy the evening @ 9:00PM.

An out of town guest provides the perfect opportunity to play tour guide, and this past weekend I had just such an opportunity. I tried to give my visitor a complete view of our delightful little ville: The University Grounds and the Corner full of douche-bags reeking of vinegar like a fine North Carolina barbecue sauce; the Downtown Mall with its seemingly endless offerings of dining and drinking establishments; Belmont bursting with a quaint cast of PBR drinking hipsters, rednecks, and the pleasant fragrance of Hogwaller; and the outlying county ready to be ravaged by SUV’s and bonfires. »Read More

I attended Virginia’s largest wine festival this past weekend, where I braved the throngs of sorority girls bellowing for sweet booze like trained seals barking for herring, in hopes of finding some tasty local wines. With more than fifty wineries from across the state pouring their finest creations my chances of finding at least a few palatable quaffs seemed decent.
