Good Morning, RVA: Cold, grumpy mornings continue across the city

Hmph.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 35 °F, and that makes me mad. Today’s highs in the mid-50s also upset me, and I reserve the right to maintain a general state of annoyance until Saturday when highs return to the gentlemanly 70s. Tomorrow: more of the same.

Water cooler

Tonight, The Broadberry, Richmond’s newest and most mid-sized venue, celebrates their grand opening with some of RVA’s most celebrated bands. No BS!, Black Girls, and Goldrush will kick things off in the new space for just $10, doors at 8:00 PM.

Join the 16 finalists of the 2014 i.e.* Start-Up Competition tonight at CenterStage as they present their butts off to a panel of judges and a live studio audience (that’s you!). The winner will take home $10,000 and a trophy made from the desiccated husks of previously failed startups!

Tipping is about making sure you don’t mess up what you’re supposed to do.
