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!

I had a particularly alcohol filled Saturday night. And to top it off, I had the whole world on my thermostat setting. Booya.  I pretty much ended up everywhere last night as a combination of booze and weather love. I was thinking ah yes a great night to go out. Spring fever was in full effect, but alas…

Apparently, no one told me the entire night would be filled with bachelorette parties!

Bachelorettes and their entourage are an interesting bunch. I have yet to fully understand this rather lame social phenomenon. I mean guys fully appreciate their last night of singlehood and often embark on a quest to get fully wasted, justifying the gropage of strippers and the full embarrassing of the groom. Sorry ladies, it happens 9 out 10 times whether you like it or not.

Bachelorettes (at least the ones from last night) were the total opposite. I think I saw 5 separate bachelorette parties and 4 of those were probably some of the most boring parties I’ve ever seen. Honestly, it’s your last night to be out: live it up.

First of all, bachelorette parties make an extra special effort to stick out from the norm which is fine. But, can we clearly label the bachelorette? It’s so hard to find the one between all the glow sticks, silly hats and mini tiaras.

My favorite encounter with a b-party was with a small 4 to 5 lady party sitting at the end of the bar at Blue Light. »Read More

Overall, our pub crawl was an amazing success. We had well over 100 paid attendees and various others join our crawl. Things got a little disorganized at times, but overall, we’re pretty sure things went well. Between free t-shirts, way too many car bombs and smiling faces, we couldn’t have been more proud. Thanks for everyone for coming out. We have some sweet plans for a Cinco de Maio party!

We don’t have our final count yet on the amount of money raised, but it looks like we are going to raise close to $2,000 for AIDS/HIV Services Group. YOU GUYS ARE FREAKING AMAZING.

Thanks to Zinc, Oxo, Mono Loco, Zo Ca Lo and X-Lounge for hosting us. Next time (and you bars know who you are) when we tell you we’re bringing 100+ people to your bar, you better be prepared! I think you lost us for future pub crawls, but we will certainly be back to those who treated us well!

Wahooptie.. YOU ROCK! 

Special thanks to 106.1 The Corner, D/R and everyone (Tad, Kyle, Amy, Amanda, and others) that got the party off the ground.

Additionally, special thanks to Silmo, La Ren, and others who stepped up in a time in need to take care of much needed name tags and wrist bands. Many more pictures after the break….

When they aren’t getting tazed, law students sure do know how to have a good party.

Jim Waive and friends were phantasmagorically fun. I don’t think there was a person there that did not at least have to suppress their joys of having fun. The fun was skittling around the plank floors and running out the light poles. Fun was riding the air and surfing sixteenth notes down the breaks of the Waive of humanity.

Now I have not been out anywhere the last few years where people really let loose, that’s hard to do when everybody’s got a video camera in their phone & there’s a senseless war spilling blood with our names on it. But at times at these events, you do get a community vibe & a sort of contagious mellow beauty that is different from the nineties. Some of these kids brag about their “second generation alternative thinking” or whatever, but let’s get to the music.

Hot holy hell that was fun. If you take a little saunter around the site, you’ll find some highly amusing drunk conversations in the comments, such as a debate over the quality of Wes Anderson’s more recent works. By the time that was being debated, I believe I had finished my Leffe and Lean Cuisine and was watching a French chick flick sideways– really hard to focus when you’re laying down on your couch. And tipsy. Who’s classy now? »Read More
