Holy smokes, Batman, it’s Windy out there.
I’ve been experiencing power………………………
outages all day. In fact, in the middle of this post I got a power outage. What is going on? Is it the wind or what? Seemed like a lot of restaurants were having problems this morning.

As you may be aware we are doing a re-launch of our site tomorrow. We have no idea what we are doing, so things will most likely explode.
We will disable commentary after 3PM and turn it back on when we have the site back up and running. Check back on Sunday night or first thing Monday morning for the redesign. YAY!

I want to know what “climate change” does to WINE. Are we going to get super-wines that make us join cults? Can we drink the Kool-Aid™ please?

OXO
My “Going-Out Companion” and I stopped by OXO late Friday night. Here’s the deal: XSV will play about 30 seconds of a song, then transition it into another song. And the songs are ri-dic. It’s not something I could appreciate every night, but it was awesome to hear “Hang Tough,” “I Want to Sex You Up,” and “Mmmbop.” I happen to love “Mmmbop.” I was way into it, much to the amusement (or horror, maybe) of MGOC. I returned on Saturday and had way too much fun again, way too late!
Escafe
We heart belmont yo. We do. Seriously. He plays techno songs I secretly LOVE. I play them on my iPod when I’m working out, so I can appear all serious and intent on reading my New Yorker and pumping that elliptical, but inside my head, it’s Escafe on Friday.
Sam Hill’s New Year’s Party
I hear they had an awesome piano guy who played requests. I also hear it was packed, with a great Charlottesville crowd of music-lovers. And I also hear Stevie Jay was there. Were you there?
X Lounge
Awesome, obvi.
Bang!
Best service ever. Our waitress made MGOC feel like the special occasion it was. [Read the review.]
Siips
MGOC described it as a “country club party.” Accurately.

PPS: Yes of COURSE I’m tipsy.

…to crash company holiday parties!
It always amazes me that company holiday parties in Charlottesville are, for the most part, open to anyone who knows when and where they’re taking place. I’ve been to plenty of holiday parties where I didn’t belong and have definitely seen others (most notably a local TV news reporter) who had no business being at them as well. Because we’re supposed to be the villains of Charlottesville, I thought we might pool our resources and compile a list of these events, attempt to get someone to each one, and have them report back any silly and/or scandalous behavior. Let’s turn the gossip level up a bit around here!
