Left of Center is hosting a local food get together at Maya at 5:30 PM tomorrow (Tuesday).

Our local food economy: why it’s important to eat local, why it’s so difficult to be a farmer, and how family farms are all but illegal in Virginia today. Colin Steele and Lynsie Watkins will tell their story of creating “Perfect Flavor,” the Waynesboro ice cream company making frozen treats entirely with local, seasonal ingredients. They believe passionately in the importance of supporting local farmers, and they have faced some huge hurdles in realizing that dream. And Gail Hobbes-Paige, of Caromont Farm, will talk about her experiences as a farmer, chef, caterer, goat farmer and cheesemaker. Her broad knowledge provides rare insight into our local food economy.

Should be exciting. Food…mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up for your week in review.

We got villains dissing on wine bars, gunshots at the Outback and some Grecian food. Don’t forget to stop around back to sample our smelly PR move, celebrity wannabies, and your favorite musical acts. When you leave, grab the gift bag– it’s full of tats, lawsuits, and monkey sex. Enjoy!

Besides the lovely complexity of having too much wine this week, we break the story on Pink Paintballs, (hopefully) find a restaurantuer a chef partner, chat with bartenders and break a rumor of a high end steak place. Oh, we also make some rule.

The week in review continues below:

Some people on here rejoice when UVA students flee town, but I don’t. I work for Greater C-ville Habitat for Humanity (cvillehabitat.org) and those oft-maligned students are a huge portion of our construction labor. In their absence, we are really hurting for some…any… warm bodies to help us keep things rolling until they start coming out again in mid-February.

Apparently, a 70-person brawl happened at 7PM on Saturday near Putt Putt Lane.  You can’t make this stuff up.  Police explained no one was injured and the fight resulted from a recent fight at Charlottesville High School.  Police estimated between 50 and 75 people were involved.  Does anyone have more details on this?

Some of Charlottesville’s hottest and coolest ladies are organizing a new sports & entertainment league for the betterment of all.

That’s right Villainettes: Here is your chance to flex your muscles and put your trash talking skills to good use. Do you think you have what it takes? Do you know someone who does?

Villains: Who would you most like to see battle it out in the CLAW arm-wrestling cage? Who would win?

These ladies will soon be signed to ESPN 12, so see them while you can.

Proceeds will go towards local non-profits benefiting women (SHE, SARA, Free Clinic, Planned Parenthood, etc.).

Interested in arm wrestling or acting as a “manager,” “promoter,” or “coach” email me (Silmo Syrup) and I’ll pass you along to CLAW’s organizers, Jennifer aka “The Prim Reaper” and Jodie aka “MoJo the Underdog “
