So long, RVA!
America’s birthday is coming up. What did you get her? NOTHING!?! Oh, man, she’s gonna be PISSED! Don’t worry, though! There are fireworks, flying squirrels, a band so NOT full of BS!, an art walk, and even cover bands happening this weekend. Rest assured, we’ll find something that America will like.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! Read all about it! Richmond has kick-ass live music, food, culture, and wedding paraphernalia happening this weekend! Only nitwits will stay indoors and bitch about not having anything to do! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight? Me neither! Moving on: the weekend is here. Do you know what that means, besides reinforcing an arbitrary social construct of time classification? We gets ta’ do stuffs! Here’s 5 things for you to do, each of which are waiting for you…to do it to them? Did that come out wrong?
If you live in Richmond (and we know that you do because we can see you through your computer screen–get your finger outta that orifice, guy!) then you’re in luck! Our 5 Things will have you out of the house and out doing something totally fun.
In the ancient and profound words of Socrates: holy s**t it was hot this week! Mercifully, weekend temperatures are looking cooler compared to those earlier in the week, which is good, because there is A LOT happening in the next several days. There are festivals aplenty, reggae a’ rockin’, wrestlers a wraslin’, derbyers a derbying, and a pet parade benefiting sick pooches.
Did you notice that the weather got hot as soon as Lady Gaga’s new album dropped? I’m not saying that there’s a direct correlation, but I’m not saying that there isn’t, either. Now that all of you Little Monsters have gotten a chance to dissect Gaga’s latest record, it’s time to go out and do stuff!
Do you know what time it is? It’s time to get freaky for the weekend! Take a historical walk, get your Dionysus on with beer and wine, gaze at the sky before the Apocalypse happens, take in the hidden beauty of bedpans, and get a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of Richmond’s most beloved venues.
O, May-Thirteenth-Through-Fifteenth! Might you be tempted to stay forever, gracing us with your five most glorious things, until we cry, “Peace, peace, you many-hued jewel,” and beg that our sleepy lives be returned?
I hope you’ve got plenty of coffee to brew at home and lots of sick days saved up at work, because you, dudes and dudettes, have plans this weekend. A lot of them. So many that a few of these 5 Things are actually like 20 Things in disguise. Crafty!
You’ve been partying hard lately, and that’s great. But, as there are lots of new flowers to stop and smell, let’s slow down this weekend and work on expanding our horizons. Well, our horizons and our waistlines. We’re not Spartans, over here.
