1. First Friday featuring Hot 8 Brass Band, Marching Gamelan, InLight stuff, Friday, 7-10, Downtown. Theres really so much going on at First Friday this month its hard to wrap my mind around. I will say this though – 1) Hot 8 Brass dudes are kinda famous, from New Orleans and are super good. 2) somewhere in the timeline of the night there will be “Art Cheerleaders”…

2. No BS Brass Back to School Party. Friday, 9-1, The Camel. My Idea is that No B.S. should show up wherever those Hot 8 Bros are and they should battle. I think that would be wonderful. I will where my Reggie Pace throwback jersey.

3. SoulPower RVA. Saturday, 10-2, Cous Cous. Sorry about loving these guys so much but they are truly really truly super great. 60’s and 70’s soul, boogaloo, salsa and heartwarming music of all kinds.

4. NFL Opening Weekend. Sunday, 12-12, on TV. Once again, at least be culturally aware that the biggest sport in america begins Sunday (well really last night but whose counting). The Redskins look promising and my friends friend knows Jim Zorn – so I’m excited.

5. Premier of Double Dragon Skate Video. Friday, 11:45, The Byrd. New skate video from Richmond, heres a “trailor”…

5. Nascar. Friday and Saturday, 7:30, 8:00, Richmond International Raceway. Also, it’s important to be culturally aware that America’s second largest sport comes to Richmond all weekend. ALL WEEKEND!. Its well worth your time to bike down there and take in the scene.

    HOT 8! Please come to the Camel for drinks after you’re done playing.You guys Rule!

  4. What the hell is an Art Cheerleader?

  5. I was there and saw said Art Cheerleaders. Pretty much just like regular cheerleaders except they had A-R-T across their chests.

    The point? Don’t ask me.

    “The Redskins look promising” LOL!

  7. thankfully, it’s a long season. On the other hand, considering how the Redskins played this past Thursday, that might not be so swell…

    I start with “Sorry” and follow with “I’m a Giants fan!”

    hey Soulpower is not listed as playing at CousCous this Saturday on their webpage. Do you know something they don’t? Would love to catch them if they will be there…

    Jennifer. this is actually 5 things from last weekend. we should probably take it down after the weekend huh? again, sorry for the confusion. i think theres bollywood dance night there this weekend though which, trust me, is absolutely unbelievable.

  11. I heartily second that. Bollywood night as an amazingly surreal experience. Also Kung Fu night at Burton Manor on Sundays @ 9pm.
