You can always check out cvilleMUSE for your arts and music recommendations, but without further ado, I present to you things which will make your weekend better than swell. I actually really like looking around for exciting things to do, because there is cool and unique stuff every weekend. As always, let us know what we’ve forgotten.
All the stuff is after the break!

This weekend is going to rock the shazbot… why?
Music
Um, I can never beat Shaun to the punch. You are going to miss a lot of sweet stuff if you don’t read his preview over at cvilleMUSE. How do you like these apples? Van Halen (please don’t be canceled), Ryan Shaw, Birdlips and Friday’s After Five (with Eli Cook).
First Friday’s
How could you overlook Pinkie’s amazing preview on cvilleMUSE. She covers every single venue and every single artist, with links to boot! Apparently, there will be MUSE special ops walking around handing out business cards. Try to find them and tell them Thor sent you.
Off the Cusp
If MUSE always kicks my butt on real events at least I can find stuff off the beaten track. If you are a techno-mac-loving-uber-nerd, you should go to BeCamp, which is a part communist, part hippy part electronic festival of computers and crazy ideas like “FOAF,” “Grails,” “Parallel Computing,” “Selenium -web tier testing” and a bunch of other things that scare me.
Enjoy your weekends! What did we miss?

Charlottesville has one of those big festivals coming up that you probably know as the “Virginia Festival of the Book.” We like to think of it as more of a rave for smart people. It happens from March 26th to 30th, 2008.
Looking through the participants makes me realize that I am completely unaware of the 99% of the 250 participants. This only verifies what I already knew. I don’t read books.
Maybe you do and maybe this is a good opportunity for our cVillains to start their book club that was mentioned a while ago. Anyway, check out the festival and let us know what smart people should know.
Do you read anything?
Key headliners include:
Mike Farrell (MASH Actor)
Walter Mosley (wrote Devil in a Blue Dress)
Roger Mudd (Emmy winning journalist & anchor)
