James River Parade of Lights. With several viewing locations at Libby Hill Park, the Intermediate Terminal Dock and from Google Earth, spectators from around the region/world can gather along the riverfront/their Macbook pros to catch the floating parade.

VCU vs. U of R. The Rams take on the Spiders…in real life I am up in the air about whether a Ram or a Spider would win in a dual. If a VCU Ram fan and a Richmond Spider fan dueled I am quite certain the VCU Ram fan would win. UNLESS, it was actually a “duel” – like an old-timey duel. I’m pretty sure Richmond Spider fans are all expert swordsmen and marksmen. Saturday, 2pm, U of R.
