I leave for a week again and come back to lovey dovey posts? What is going on here?! Must be the introduction of the new LoveCVILLE site. 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. Have a great weekend villains and try to be “safe” in whatever “activities” your weekend may bring.

The usual Friday - if you have tried one or any you should! Fridays After Five, Crush Wine Tasting, Market Street Wine Tasting, and Beer Run’s Wine Tasting.

Two fairs this weekend: The Rockingham County Fair and The Greene County Fair.

• Public Night at the McCormick Observatory - Friday 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
• Staunton Music Festival opens this weekend! They have full weekend of events lined up (starting Friday).
• Best of C-Ville Party at R2 9:30 p.m. cover is $10.00-the Nice Jenkins, The Duck Brothers, belly dancers, flirtresses, etc. are supposed to be present for the event.
• Second Street Art Gallery Y’Art Sale - Good prices on art supplies…go, buy.
• Play On It Theatre Presents Flounder - Thursday through Saturday - this is a play about a couple visited by a fish and is supposed to be quite funny.
• Wintergreen 3rd Annual Music Festival - Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

That’s all folks. Hopefully B yo will bless up with the DJ line-up for the weekend and as always checkout MUSE and Style for more of the weekend’s happenings.

Since it’s summertime and the students have started their return to Charlottesville, bars should be triphopping this weekend.  Besides the obvious music and arts events covered by cvilleMUSE, we’ve got a few events that might float your boat or tube.  Whether it’s a barbeque or bluegrass, you have no excuse to get off your butt and go do stuff.  Let us know if we missed anything!

I was just reading an article in the WSJ about bars shrinking their beer output by some rather nefarious means…smaller glasses, more foam, etc…While I don’t do as much social drinking as I used to (damn kids) I know there’s more than a few folks on cVillain who would want to be on the lookout for skimping at our local watering holes. Of course, I do know that a few bars I used to frequent didn’t offer the wide array of brews the taphandles would lead you to believe they did (ever wonder why that Bud Light tastes a lot like Natty?). But at least you were getting a full 16 0z. of stale pisswater.

Have any of the other villains, both bartenders and bar lovers, seen this happening around town? Besides thinning margins it seems breweries around the country are facing a shortage of hops, which means we have to drink as much at South Street on Tuesdays as we can. Watch this video to learn more:

Yay for Friday! What a week! We told you how to donate some organs, a fire broke out, echo died, while finding new iphones we met some newbies, we discussed some teaching woes, and apparently here and there some of us worked at our places of employment.

No more work. Time to play! Get your red panties on, sit out in the sun, call your neighbors to come play, and have yourself a firecrotch:

We need to hear some crazy/exciting/courageous/drunk/audacious/naughty/lively villain stories. I missed the “drunk posting” thread so much I had to recreate a similar post. What did you guys do last night? Saturday night?

I’ll start. I was strolling down the mall after watching a movie (it was to freaking hot to be anywhere that didn’t have AC) when I stumble upon Kiki’s replacement. I wander in for a quick drink. I make my way to the bathroom after the drink and wait a good 15 minutes. I am not the biggest fan of waiting. Finally a girl stumbles out of the bathroom with a sneaky grin. I head for the door and as I touch the handle a boy leaves the room. Oh my. What fun they had on a Friday night. Wait it gets a little better! I walk in the bathroom to not only discover they have a cool TV that allows you to view what is going on at the bar, but also the girl’s panties.

What an interesting drink I had.

Someone at the Space party referred to Cvillain as a really organized, really fun community bulletin board. To add to that warm fuzzy feeling:

Charlottesville Women’s Theatre is having auditions for their next production on Monday, June 2, 2008 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Bridge PAI in Belmont (www.thebridgepai.com). Check it out. It sounds like they would like everyone and anyone to audition (we are working on getting parlie to audition in a dress-they would have a GREAT turnout).

Charlottesville Women’s Theatre Project is holding auditions for it’s next production on Monday June 2nd from 7-10 at The Bridge PAI in Belmont www.thebridgepai.com.

I know you’re all counting down the minutes till you can stop slacking off at work and start drinking heavily. Kick off Memorial Day Weekend right and indulge in some patriotic LolPresidents.

Bringing it back from ‘07, inspired by this Fark thread.
