Thanks to your input for Halloween, we have a pretty scary list of things.  Overall, we expect this weekend to be insanely busy.  It’s homecoming weekend with a home football game, a film festival, hundreds of people coming in town for some historic society event (I still can’t find info on this) and then, oh ya, Halloween parties galore.

Without further ado… »Read More

Honestly, this weekend is going to be pretty chill and we don’t just mean that literally.  Importantly, this is your last weekend to go to the City Market.  Next week is chock full of Halloween, movie festival and other festive things, so this weekend looks like it’s going to be slow.  MUSE has your arts and music coverage; STYLE keeps you looking fine.

In addition to our normal wine tastings at Market Street, Beer Run and Crush, we’ve got some horse races, pumpkin carving and a chocolate festival.  The weather should be beautiful on Saturday and Sunday. Make sure you enjoy yourselves before it gets too cold.  As always, checkout cvilleMUSE for arts and music events and cvilleStyle for what to wear. »Read More

It’s gonna be a niiiiiice weekend: sunny and about 75 degrees. No need to pack up the flip flops yet.

PREVIEW:

Echo will get trashed by 7:00 on Friday.

And here’s your horoscope for all the signs except Gemini:

You will die one day.

And for Gemini:

You will die twice as much.

Ok, J/K. Here’s some crap to do. Check out MUSE for what to listen to and STYLE for what to buy or wear:

We’ve got a serious weekend ahead of us.  It’s almost too serious in that there is no way you could possibly do all the things.  From music festivals, to art, to sheep dog trials, we’ve got the simple way to preview the weekend.  Oh and 72 degree days and 50 degree nights are forecast all weekend long.  Don’t forget to check cvilleMUSE. It’s all after the break.

Yup, it’s going to rain all day, tonight and Saturday. All of the big events planned for this weekend will probably suck, that is, unless you get your galoshes, your rain parkas and get outdoors. Things should clear up by Sunday, but will be a little mushy. Don’t forget to visiting MUSE and STYLE for more weekend events!

Saturday

Charlottesville’s 12th Annual Vegetarian Festivus [website]

Join a bunch of hippies celebrate animal superiority to humans! The festival is free, celebrates healthy lifestyles and has a bunch of food samples and should be pretty fun to attend. We doubt the claim that 6,000 people will show up, but if you go there, make sure you get a chance to visit as many booths as you can!

Sunday »Read More

As always head to  Crush, Market Street, and Beer Run for Friday evening tastings. Don’t ignore MUSE and STYLE for more weekend events!

• Watch Menopause The Musical at The Paramount each day this weekend.
• UVA football has an off week, so look for a quieter Saturday.
• Fall is here!   Go hiking, do a road trip around Botetourt County, or maybe start thinking about picking Apples.. Carter’s mountain opens their fall season this Saturday (oh and don’t forget it’s a good place to hook up, too)
• Go swing dance your brains out on Saturday night with the Charlottesville swing dance society.
• Visit Staunton and the Shakespearean theater for 12th Night, King Lear or Richard II.
• Hooray for Hopewell – Hopewell’s largest festival is nearly 30 years old. The weekend event features arts and crafts vendors, food concessions, displays by community service groups, children’s rides and a children’s stage featuring a variety of entertainment. Call  (804) 541-0232 for details.
• Did you know that Oktoberfest officially starts on Saturday?  For all the folks that think it starts in October, it always starts in late September.  Celebrate with some local brewery action!

We miss anything? Let us know in the comments!

While I must admit summer lovin couldn’t be more fun I will be leaving it out of this weekend’s preview. Although everything here would be more fun with two.
