Awesome Show Announcement: Forensics, Nurse Beach, Andrew Cedermark & Buffalo Wildwing @ The Southern – 8/10/10
Just wanted to be sure to put the word out about this show at the Southern tomorrow night. It’s just $3 to get in, and a lot of music for the money. Here’s your chance to catch the Forensics guys before they head to Europe for the Ieper Fest in Belgium.
These shows are ridiculous amounts of fun. If anyone says there is no punk rock in Charlottesville, please point them to this show.
Weekend Preview – August 6th to August 8th

This weekend has the potential for greatness. The crazy storms are finally off of the radar and the heat is ever so slightly less suffocating. We’ve got three days worth of sunny skies and perfect night time temps. There’s at least one show that you shouldn’t miss this weekend, and the bars downtown should be packed. It is with great regret that I know that I probably won’t make it to anything tonight or Sunday night, but that’s ok…. because it’s a pool crashing weekend. My objective is to crash a different pool every single day. Google Earth is great for finding pools and ABC/beer stores in close proximity, not to mention how helpful it is for planning entry/escape routes. I’ll admit that one of the days I may replace the pool with a pond, but I’ve seen photographic evidence of a rig involving 4-wheelers, boogie boards, and a pulley system. I think it’ll be an acceptable swap.
Anyway, enough about my potentially amazing weekend. What are you guys up to?
Weekend Preview – July 30th to August 1st

This weekend is going to be amazing. Friday is the only day that doesn’t have a really standout show, but there should be a huge crowd at Fridays after Five. The weather forecast is better than it has been in recent weekends, and the one day that’s supposed to really storm is the same as the concert that would only be more awesome with a thunderstorm backing track. The temps are finally dropping in the evenings, which means bonfire and camping season is upon us. I guess my point is…. outside,outside, outside. The weather is finally turning awesome, and we can resume outdoor drinking festivities. I dunno about you, but all of that drinking indoors was turning me a little cabin feverish. I can hear the distant sound of tables being set up, and solo cups begging to be flipped.
Check out the forecast and shows after the break!

Oh man! Is it that time again? Since the last time I saw Donk, he was sleeping in the greyhound bus station, I guess its up to me to cover all this weekend’s bases, by which of course I mean precisely none.
Seems like the weekends just come and go anymore. Its not like the good old days, when your friends would have some crazy activities lined up every damn weekend, and you knew what to expect. These days, its anybody’s guess what will happen next, if anything. Yeah, so once again, I got nothing. So maybe you should just curl up with your significant other and talk about life or some other crazy shit, i don’t know. If you do head out, keep a low profile, cause you know, this town aint what it used to be. Whatever you do, remember… enjoy the ride.
Oh, and I almost forgot the weather! Yes. There will be some. There will be some weather.
I remember…

I remember speeding around that outside corner along the coast in the Presidio in SF at about 3am being chased by the military police. I knew they couldn’t do shit to a civilian even if they caught me and the pacific fog was shooting up the piney scraggly bluffs all lit up yellowish by the sodium lights they used as streetlights. My Lambretta SX200 was cutting through the mists that looked like yellow fire and my floor panels were a breath away from scraping asphalt. I knew that road home like the back of my hand and I knew I had Officer Friendly beat to the border of the base by a long shot. I was James Fucking Bond, high out of my mind and flying through the curves with a flow that can only be described as spiritual. Winding down the engine as I passed thru the stone gates at 25th was nothing less than being reborn.
I also remember when this site had content.
What do you remember?
Weekend Update: July 26th… wait, what?

Weekend schmeekend, I have been whacked out of my gourd on percocet for like 4 days now, so it doesn’t matter what day of the week it is. And no, before all you heads who think I just stumbled into a scrip and am taking a holiday from reality rush to judge me (god damn I hate that – will you guys please stop that), I must state unequivocally that there is medical need. Seems one of my choppers went horribly south last week. Some little infective agent snuck under a crown and started a pain party in my jaw. So I, with great trembling of spirit, dialed my dentist’s digits.
