You can always check out cvilleMUSE for your arts and music recommendations, but without further ado, I present to you things which will make your weekend better than swell. I actually really like looking around for exciting things to do, because there is cool and unique stuff every weekend. As always, let us know what we’ve forgotten.
All the stuff is after the break!

This weekend is going to rock the shazbot… why?
Music
Um, I can never beat Shaun to the punch. You are going to miss a lot of sweet stuff if you don’t read his preview over at cvilleMUSE. How do you like these apples? Van Halen (please don’t be canceled), Ryan Shaw, Birdlips and Friday’s After Five (with Eli Cook).
First Friday’s
How could you overlook Pinkie’s amazing preview on cvilleMUSE. She covers every single venue and every single artist, with links to boot! Apparently, there will be MUSE special ops walking around handing out business cards. Try to find them and tell them Thor sent you.
Off the Cusp
If MUSE always kicks my butt on real events at least I can find stuff off the beaten track. If you are a techno-mac-loving-uber-nerd, you should go to BeCamp, which is a part communist, part hippy part electronic festival of computers and crazy ideas like “FOAF,” “Grails,” “Parallel Computing,” “Selenium -web tier testing” and a bunch of other things that scare me.
Enjoy your weekends! What did we miss?

Well, for music and the arts, make sure you check out cvilleMUSE.
Otherwise a few interesting things:
Foxfield, duh, on Saturday.
Michael (owner of Ventana) said he had 4 Feist tickets he’d be giving away this weekend to bar hoppers [via a Birdie]
Friday - R2 retro dance party. 60s to the 90s, no “80s frat house bullshit.”
As always, let us know what we missed!

Well, I know that we are all going to pray for the continuation of this weather, but here are the events which I think are pretty sweet and unique.
Wine tastings @ Market Street, Crush and Beer Run.
Starting at 8PM on Friday, dance party at OURSPACE (414 e. main st. beneath the twisted branch tea bazaar) with oodles of DJs…. DJ’s John Midyette, Bristol, Boyd 80, Loki, and DJ Red Lab. Visuals by Colourboy.
If things get rainy, you can see the 7th Annual Ballroom Dance Spring Showcase at 8PM Tonight. Tickets are $7. Hopefully they can think of a shorter name in the future.
Oh ya, see OK GO at the UVA’s Spring Fest on Saturday. Remember it’s FREE! [more info]
And, as always, check out cvilleMUSE for a full preview of all of Charlottesville’s arts and music events.

Tonight at the cafeteria will be a bit different and a bit special. It will be ABSOLUTely enhanced with new green flavor. Usually, in instances like this, there are lots of freebies, shirts, specials etc., Last time, Escafe broke the New Year’s Eve bar sales record, and the elevation of the dance was out of control.
