Here is the answer to your weekend homework:
Tomorrow (Tuesday) night Taste This! will be from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at UVA Alumni Hall. Tickets are $35.00 in advance and you can get them at Greenberry’s, Market Street Wine Shop, or www.musictoday.com. If you get them at the door tomorrow night they are $40.00. 100% of ticket proceeds go to the Salvation Army Food Pantry.
This is just another version of A Taste of Charlottesville. It will have a ton of restaurants and more food and drinks than a night out at the bar. It sounds like fun. (Click the flyer to get more details)
Some of the local businesses coming are:
Market Street Wine Shop, Sticks, Cassis, Bonefish Grill, Wild Greens, Zydeco, Gearharts Chocolates, Blue Light, West Main, TEN, Maya, Shebeen, and more!
What else do you have to do on a Tuesday night? Yes, South Street will still be there when you finish devouring snacks and drinks from the gaggle of restaurants attending.

I was privy to a houseguest this weekend, he a U.Va. alumnus who hasn’t spent much time in Charlottesville since being graduated in 2003. We shall call him Cristóbal.
Opportunity! I bum-rushed him with as much cVillainy as his senses—and his liver—could handle. Below is our hitlist from the weekend. »Read More

Don’t forget father’s day is TODAY. It’s probably too late to get a gift, but you can check out the cvilleStyle gift guide for last minute inspiration.
For us it usually means slinging funny insults, eating bacon and trying to cross the line.
Have fun! What do you do?

It is that time of year again! Cville Weekly “Best of Cville” voting. I can’t believe this has yet to be mentioned. Voting ends July 3, 2008. I was reluctant to let you guys know this was going on because I want to WIN the Spa Treatment. I am also still a little wet behind the ears and left some blanks. I am going to need to guys to help me out with that. Please feel free to share your votes - unless of course they are top secret. If you do share I will know where to go to fill in next year’s blanks!
Best of Cville
P.S. Not to push or anything but there happens to be a spot for best blog. HINT HINT. I mean your call.

Planned Parenthood is weeks away from throwing their annual 80’s Prom party. This is a follow up to last summer’s terrific bash at the
Satellite Ballroom. Here is our attempt at tickling them pink:
Have you ever:
- wanted to seduce a crush of yours by standing outside their house playing Peter Gabriel on a HUGE boom box?
- ignored the instructions of your hair gel and forgo the standard quarter-size squeeze for the entire bottle?
- hide a pair of neon-green leg warmers underneath your Lilly Pulitzer dress because you were scared of what the locals would think?
If you have no idea what the hell we are talking about, then you should totally go to the upcoming Planned Parenthood 80’s Prom Party:
8pm-2am Saturday June 14th at Old Michie Building on Market StSince you must be 21+ to get in, I would guess there will be liquor, lots of it. For questions, email 80sProm@ppav.org. To buy a ticket or become a sponsor, visit http://www.ppav.org/80sprom.html. Visit their facebook page here.
Here are some great 80’s movie clips to help you get in the mood, pick a wardrobe/big hairstyle and find out who your secret crush is:

Apparently Cville offers its very own blacksmithing classes. A trade you never knew you needed to know. Not only can you take A CLASS you can continue your education with intermediate classes. Now I know all of you think I am mocking this class, but that just isn’t so. I actually think this is very neat and we would love feed back from anyone that has gone (or knows anyone that has gone). It certainly never occurred to me that such a class would be offered just - especially here.
Craigslist Ad:
Individual instruction is offered by a blacksmith with 30+ years experience. Students will use a coal fired forge to explore the basic metalurgy of iron and steel. You will also learn how to build a home-made forge, acquire equipment, and fabricate simple practical tools and hardware.
Classes are offered in 4-hour sessions for $75 per session at the instructor’s shop. Sessions are scheduled at convenience of student. All materials are provided. If interested respond to this posting or email dembling@virginia.edu.

Wow, you would typically wake up on mornings like this and think “ah, yes what a beautiful day. We must have had a little sprinkle last night.”
The problem with this thought is that you are dead wrong. Last night we had one of the largest thunderstorms that I can remember in my recent Charlottesville history.
My roomate and I were both awakened at around 4:30AM with torrential downpours, strobe-like lightning and my own thunder.
Normally, I would take credit for these types of storms, but I typically don’t wake myself up. Were you awakened?
Did the giant thunderstorm storm wake you up?
UPDATE: Grab your ruby slippers and click like there’s no place like home….Charlottesville just announced a Tornado watch until 8PM tonight!
