I leave for a week again and come back to lovey dovey posts? What is going on here?! Must be the introduction of the newLoveCVILLE site. While I must admit summer lovin couldn’t be more fun I will be leaving it out of this weekend’s preview. Although everything here would be more fun with two. Have a great weekend villains and try to be “safe” in whatever “activities” your weekend may bring.
Staunton Music Festival opens this weekend! They have full weekend of events lined up (starting Friday).
Best of C-Ville Party at R2 9:30 p.m. cover is $10.00-the Nice Jenkins, The Duck Brothers, belly dancers, flirtresses, etc. are supposed to be present for the event.
That’s all folks. Hopefully B yo will bless up with the DJ line-up for the weekend and as always checkout MUSE and Style for more of the weekend’s happenings.
Sorry I have been MIA guys…it is summer I have been out playing and you should be too! This weekend preview will be short and sweet. Get out and have some summer fun (this weekend is supposed to stay under 95 degrees-enjoy it while you can).
The Paramount Theater presents - Political Intrigue Saturday at 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Veritas Vinyards presents - Starry Nights with The Swing Kings (any Friends fans out there? Go.) Saturday from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Lynchburg will be showing Capitan Hook by the River on Saturday night after dark (checkout the link)
Cville is showing E.T. in the park on Saturday night (I can’t give more details because their site NEVER works for me - see if you can’t check out the link)
Lastly, UVA is having a “Meet the Players” on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at the Stadium
Be sure to fill in the blanks I left this week. Have fun and don’t do anything we WOULD do.
I was walking home today, and was diverted to a new route because 9th Street in front of Buford Middle School as been blocked off, and cops are everywhere. Even one of the local news stations was setting up. That can’t be good. I asked an officer on the scene for some information, but he was not allowed to offer any details other than the fact that something had happened at the school. I have a bad feeling about this.
While we are in love with Spudnuts, we did check out Carpe Donut, a donut cart that sits in the parking lot behind Wachovia on the downtown mall. Matt, the owner, is awesome. He’ll give you a good talking while you enjoy his “crack-cocaine.”
The donuts are all natural, taste very real and 100% edible. I’m happy that we have a sweet donut place on the mall. Listen to how they make the donuts (for all you tree huggers out there):
I didn’t taste any chemicals. While the donuts aren’t quite as good as spudnuts (which means that, basically, they still rock), they are ON THE MALL!, they are very green and the dude is awesome. Did we forget to mention they serve some good coffee (which is a big plus over Spudnuts).
They are only on the mall on Friday’s, but worth the visit!
Fact: Bears eat beets (sorry had to put that in there)
While I am not entirely sure if this is the world’s BEST office prank, the idea is pretty novel. This got me to thinking…can we come up with anything better? In honor of April Fools Day, I thought cVillain should put together a contest to reward the best cvillain performing villaneous acts that we will all laugh at for about 5 hrs and then immortalize on the internet forever. Here is how the contest works:
submit a picture/video of your prank in action-yes, we really DO want to see your co-workers flip their sh*t. Please include a description of the prank as well
email said picture and description to my cvillain alias @gmail.com by March 31st so we can post by April 1st
pictures/video will be posted and coded by number to keep in the spirit of cvillain anonymity. cvillains will vote all day April 1st to their heart’s content for the best office prank EVER. Note: if you want to have a claim to fame just let us know and we will include your cvillain alias next to the number
winner will be chosen by all you lovely villains and announced on April 2nd
We really want you all to step up to the plate for this one. I mean, if you thought the scene in Dumb and Dumber where Harry and Lloyd pack the sandwich full of atomic chili peppers was funny, pretend it isn’t, and out-do those two baffoons. I think I speak for all us when I say we want to be ROFLing, LOLing and peeing pants all over the place. This is really the time to shine for all the devious pranksters out there.
What do you get for thinking outside the box? Dinner IN a noodle box…to be more specific, cVillain’s newest and most favorite food spot, The Box, is offering a $40 dinner to the winner of the Office Prank Contest. Many thanks go to The Box co-owner Chas Webster! To get you fired up here is a funny video showing pranks on Dwight K. Schrute, the beet loving bear fighting Office Manager of….The Office:
In the meantime, what are the pranks you have seen or done that are praiseworthy?
Just kidding! But in light of the recent news Stanford broke with last Wednesday about using its monolithic endowment to pay for low-income family’s kid’s tuition, UVa’s current $4bn endowment could be put to better use no?
You know, I think back to my days as a wee little Nordic God of Static and I always wonder, what would life have been like without Continental Divide? It would have been a lot different, that’s for sure.
Charlottesville’s own Continental Divide hides at 811 W Main Street, across from the Amtrak parking lot and next to some stores that escape my memory. It really does lurk in the shadows. While it may seem reasonable to look for a sign that reads Continental Divide, you shouldn’t. What kind of restaurant hides their sign for the eager public? They have some serious balls.
Do look for a neon green sign that reads “Get In Here.” What about the food?
Its reputation precedes it. If you spend enough time in Charlottesville, you know that many mall restaurant workers pick up a slice before working… or after. If a friend says, “I’m on my way to Christian’s,” it’s natural to assume that he’s referring to the pizza, not an actual person. The site itself is a landmark. The trolley, for example, stops in front of Christian’s– not the movie theatre. Christian Tamm himself is genuinely nice. (And nice-looking.) And any discussion of Christian’s reputation ends in the same question: What happened to Anna’s?
The experience
Its reputation precedes it literally: the building emits the smell of pizza for the entire block to enjoy. »Read More
