Rapture – Brings this Stevie Jay character back AGAIN for the umpteenth time in 2010. Come see what all the fuss is about with exploration of Live, Love, Sex, Death… And Other Works In Progress. @7:30 – $10(as you leave). [Info]
Saturday:
The Paramount - Celebrates the dedication of our armed services, with the Kevin Bacon film: Taking Chance, with a reception afterwards. @4:00PM – $Free [Info]

Maybe you remember our St. Patty’s Pub Crawl from last year? It rocked. We had about 100 people join the fun and we tromped around Charlottesville like we owned it. We’ve made two changes this year. First off, we are only charging $5 or 5 cans of food for an entry fee. You can give more if you feel generous. Secondly, we expect this event to be bigger than last year, so we decided to go with X-Lounge, because no other bars would be able to handle the crowd.
The event starts at 9PM on Tuesday, March 17th. Your $5 goes directly to the Thomas Jefferson Area Foodbank. Hope to see you there. RSVP on Facebook.
First 50 guests get special Scowly/cVillain shot glasses provided by Mike and James!
If anyone else wants to donate door prizes, let me know. We’ll feature your business with your door prize in an upcoming post. Email me at kyle@spicybear.com.

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….
