Mega-Storm!!!!
Posted by Donk in Public Service, Townie on June 24, 2010
That storm was crazy! I was watching a 30 foot tree getting its ass kicked by the wind and it snapped right in front of me! Traffic lights are out all around town, and Dominion is estimating nearly 23,000 people are without power. Here are some pictures that I took while cruising around town. There’s a huuuuuuuge tree down across the railroad tracks behind the South Street Inn. They haven’t even started cutting on it yet. Hover over the pics for more info. If i get some time, I’ll upload and link some higher res images.
Weekend Preview – June 18th to June 20th

This weekend is going to be bananas. A good friend of mine is getting hitched, and I made sure that there would be shuttle service to and from the festivities. It’s a designated driver weekend. It’s going to be crazy hot, so things are bound to get real good and drunk/interesting at the wedding. I had to promise not to ice the groom during the walk down the aisle, so I can’t guarantee that the ceremony won’t be boring. The best part is that everyone in the wedding party is bound to go out later, so late night at the Box is going to look like a Billy Idol video. Anyway, there are a few fun looking shows out there this weekend, and the weather is going to be conducive to very little clothing. I predict that James River will look like a floating subsection of West Virginia.
Check out the weather and shows after the break!

Weekend Preview Time!!! Better late than never?
The weather is a little unsure for this weekend, but there’s still a lot of fun stuff going on. If nothing else, you can stay in and watch the USA tear shit up in the World Cup. Our first game is against England tomorrow, 8:30PM (South Africa Time). Tonight’s weather is supposed to be great, so I hope to see everybody out on the mall with a drink in hand. Paper bags are encouraged. I’m working on something pretty awesome towards the end of this month, so if you’ve just about given up on us by now, be sure to at least check back before the end of the month. For now, check out the weather and event listing below the break!

Tips on Tips?
Posted by Donk in Drinking, Food, Public Service, Townie on June 7, 2010
So… this weekend I did the usual and put off going to the grocery store as much as possible. That comprised of some delivery, some carryout, and a little bit of a la carte from the counter. The problem is… I’m losing track of how much you’re supposed to tip for each service.

Hi guys! It’s weekend preview time again!
UVA Graduation is this weekend… so…. things around town are probably going to be a little clusterfuckish. I don’t think there’s a whole lot else going on. Ummm… I’ve heard that JADE is putting together another big bust…. so, you might want to avoid any large scale drug deals that you had planned for the near future. There are a handful of shows to help keep you out of/in trouble. And the weather for the next couple of days should be pretty awesome. Ok.. I can’t force this thing any more. I’m going to beach week in a few days, and I’ve already mentally checked out. For those of you that are still reading this… check out the weather and shows below!
