For the record, I totally support equal rights, but these Craigslist posts have me wondering about locker room etiquette. According to a series of posts, it appears there are some gay dudes who are openly checking out and writing about other dudes in the AFC locker room. I swear I’ve seen more regarding other locker rooms (ACAC?), but I couldn’t find them. This wouldn’t be cool if dudes were checking out chicks in the girls locker room. FYI: AFC is the UVa Aquatics and Fitness Center, the biggest gym on campus. Anyway, here are the posts from Missed Connections:
Locker Room – m4m – 36 (AFC)
This is a pretty long stretch, and not something I thought I’d ever do, but here goes. »Read More

It occurred to me during a not-so-recent discussion that boys and girls probably wash their hands in different amounts when in public bathrooms. Certainly, the more people washing their hands, the more likely you are to wash your hands; but what happens when you are alone? What happens when the bathroom is full of people and you can’t wash your hands without waiting. I’ve seen plenty of people skip the hand washing just because they have to wait for someone else to finish. It also seems the later the evening, the more inebriated the clientele, the less hands get washed. What’s the deal?
Do you wash your hands in the bathroom when out at bars or restaurants?

Dating sites don’t ask the questions that really matter. Even for “just a date”, there is more vital information that is necessary than “what kind of animals do you like”? Even Dr. Phil has dropped the ball. Dr. Phil is a sponsor of Match.com, and on his show he occasionally refers a set list of questions that couples should ask each other if they’re thinking long-term. But none of those questions are asked on dating site profiles. I think they’re afraid that if they got too real on these sites, no one would date anybody. But at the same time, there’s nothing worse than being in the middle of an awesome second date with someone who, like you, likes gerbils, Kanye West and the color blue, and finding out that he’s been to jail twice for domestic violence. Or worse, in the middle of the first sexual encounter and you find out 1. that she likes to pee on you and 2. that she doesn’t have the home-training to ask first if you like that.
I mean it’s only polite to ask beforehand. Your mama didn’t raise you in a barn, did she? »Read More

I recently had the pleasure of participating in an event hosted by the Piedmont Council of the Arts and run by Maggie Guggenheimer and Kate Daughdrill. The event’s purpose was to discuss and evaluate how to market Charlottesville as an arts community. Some of the specific questions we tackled were:
- What is a creative community and is Charlottesville a creative community?
- What are the benefits of marketing Charlottesville as a creative community?
- How does the private/business sector view the role of arts and culture in our community?
- Who in the local community supports and participates in the arts and creativity?
- How can we attract more arts-related tourism to the Charlottesville area? How can we market the arts in Central Virginia as a region?
- How can we market Charlottesville as a creative community and what is the right vision to market?
While I have little formal background in the arts, it was interesting to hear the gamut of opinions on these topics. You can listen to a condensed version of the meeting over at Charlottesville Podcasting, but I have a shortened summary for you after the break and offer a digital tool which will help solve some of the problems identified in the discussion.
