Here are the photos of our wildly successful space party. Final tallies are still being made, but we raised over $1,000.00 for Computers 4 Kids!
We all had a blast and hope you guys did too! Here are some photos — to help remind you just how much fun you really had. Please send us your photos and we will post them as well.
Thanks for making the night such a hit!

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s here! We have all the details for Space Party 2008. Before we begin, we would like to thank everyone who is involved. Thanks to X-Lounge for hosting the event and doing “special things.” Thanks to Charlottesville Sports and Social Club and 106.1 The Corner for being our media partners. Thanks to Music Today for managing our ticket sales. Thanks to Belmont Yo for doing an amazing job with the artwork! And, thank you to all of you loyal readers and voters for getting excited about giving all of our proceeds to your charity of choice. Without your support we couldn’t do this.
This time around, the details are sweeter, we have T-Shirts and will have more fun. Details after the break…

It seems like almost every year the police make a huge deal about how this year is going to be different, about how Foxfield will ruin your career if you break the law. Well, unless I have been living blind, in a shelter, veiled in secrecy, a huge number of people break the law at Foxfield.
Of the 24,000 people who visit Foxfield each spring, only 85 people were arrested. If anyone does the math on that means that less than 0.4% of the people out there were caught breaking the law. 84 of those people were in the student section. So, let’s figure this one out.
Let’s say half of the 24,000 are in the Foxfield section, and about half of those are underage. That means about 6,000 people will be illegally drinking at Foxfield. If 84 of 6,000 arrests were made, that means about 1.5% of those breaking the law were caught. This doesn’t include people who are DUIing or people who are doing public intoxication type things.
Hmmmmm….seriously?!
So, if you get arrested, please note: you are REALLY unlucky. Breakdown of those trying to arrest you:
81 Albemarle County Police
31 ABC Agents
17 Officers from the Sheriff Department
3 Bicycle Offices
110 RMC Private Security Officials

Grand Total: 242 People Trying to Get You
On another note, don’t resist arrest like this guy! People, the bottomline is this: We know you are going to break the law, but don’t drink and drive, don’t act like an asshole and you will be alright. Remember to read our great Foxfield preview!

Many of you are Foxfield Races veterans, but perhaps many of you have never been. It’s a huge thing in Charlottesville. But not only does Foxfield appeal to local college students, young professionals and the families that have been doing it for years, it also brings back many UVA Alums, former townies and just those who like to party.
The ongoing joke about Foxfield is that you go to horse races, but you never see the horses. That’s a college joke. If you are out of college, you should see the horses. If you are in college, you need to be too plastered to see the horses, otherwise you haven’t really been to Foxfield.
Foxfield is such a monumental drinking even that people have even written studies about Foxfield and drinking. This study in particular found that 68% of Foxfield drinkers did something negative. Big surprise? I hope not. »Read More

Well, I know that we are all going to pray for the continuation of this weather, but here are the events which I think are pretty sweet and unique.
Wine tastings @ Market Street, Crush and Beer Run.
Starting at 8PM on Friday, dance party at OURSPACE (414 e. main st. beneath the twisted branch tea bazaar) with oodles of DJs…. DJ’s John Midyette, Bristol, Boyd 80, Loki, and DJ Red Lab. Visuals by Colourboy.
If things get rainy, you can see the 7th Annual Ballroom Dance Spring Showcase at 8PM Tonight. Tickets are $7. Hopefully they can think of a shorter name in the future.
Oh ya, see OK GO at the UVA’s Spring Fest on Saturday. Remember it’s FREE! [more info]
And, as always, check out cvilleMUSE for a full preview of all of Charlottesville’s arts and music events.

Well, The Hook offered up this piece of information on the Pub Crawl:
The following night, the 15th, there’s a St. Patty’s Day Pub Crawl to benefit the AIDS/HIV Services Group. Basically, it involves showing up at Zinc around 7pm to buy a special green hat at the door for $20 and then moving on to Oxo, Mono Loco, Zocalo, and the X-Lounge.
Do I thank them? Full details (and buy discounted tickets) here:

Did you know that..
Dave Matthews donated $2300 to Barack Obama?
The biggest 2008 election contributor in Cville is Stanley Woodward, a self-employed artist who donated $6300 to Obama’s campaign?
Patricia Kluge gave $4600 to Hillary Clinton?
How do I know this, and why is it legal for me to tell it to you?

You heard it here first folks.
There will be a total eclipse of the moon tomorrow (Feb 20th, 2008) at night. What this means is you must immediately start praying to your god of choice and ask him to bring back the moon. This typically works, but every now and then if you don’t pray hard enough you will be punished by 10 years of moonlessness. It’s a tough world, I know.
Anyway, you need to get outside around 10PM to watch this thing. Does anyone know if O-Hill is doing something special tomorrow night? Detailed information and an instructional picture after the break…
