Armageddon VII: Power Out on Half the Mall Last Night

Holy snickies.. (does anyone know how to spell that).

Half the mall was completely dark last night. Everything after Blue Light to the Amphitheater was pitch black.  Did that freak anyone out or was it just me?

The Daily Progress reports that the owner of Sexshuns, a downtown mall clothing and shoe store, has been arrested by the Feds.  Reynold George Samuels Jr, is charged with marijuana distribution, drug conspiracy, felony copyright infringement and firearms charges. Additionally, he was charged with:

50+ grams of crack cocaine

500 grams of powder cocaine

220 pounds of marijuana

That’s a lot of drugs!

Mall Quickie

From a little birdie…

Someone told me that they were walking down the mall and caught sight of some open air diddling last night…apparently the two wrapped it up and were left alone by the cops. I’m sure that people have had sex on the mall before, but it still strikes as a pretty, ahem, ballsy move for a Tuesday night.

  • Today, we liberals get to feel more openly smug than usual.

    Stuff to do tonight

    Beer tasting at Beer Run, 5-7pm
    And get this. It’s ROGUE. And it’s FREE.

    Will Kimbrough with Amy Loftus at Gravity Lounge, 7pm
    I hear things. Good things. $10 and $15.

    Steve Kemper and his robotic string instrument performer at the Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative, 8pm

    DJ eSc at Escafe, I see 11pm in listings but it often starts earlier
    I’m impressed with the tribute to Heath… It’s tragic, no? Brad Renfro died last week, now this. I’ve heard an amazing remix of the Brokeback Mountain theme. Movie themes can be pre-tty powerful. Yupster and I are fans of the cafeteria, she with the pumpkin vodka, I with… well I won’t incriminate myself.

    The Week in Review 1/14/2008 - 1/20/2008

    As typical for a cVillain week, things got rather spicy. Last week was about banning things (trans fat, bumper nuts and bags) before Armageddon hit. Between our new mascot and the discussion about platonic boy/girl friendships, it was one of our most diverse weeks yet.
