Way back in 2k4 (was it seriously that long ago?) some cops tried to break up a house show via the ever subtle Pepper Spray Grenade Technique. Nineteen dagum kids where pepper sprayed in the process. The cops where later heard joking “Man, we got to use the pepper spray, that’s always fun.” I remember [...]
First thought — it’s about sports The Superbowl, sports-wise and ad-wise, was dull. This was a bit homophobic, this a bit racist, and this the funniest commercial of the night. Overall a pretty subpar batch of ads if you ask me. Payton Manning managed not to choke (although I saw about fifteen whiny Payton Manning [...]
Honestly. How awesome is living two blocks from Carytown? Just now I walked three blocks to get homemade hot dogs from the newly opened and newly awesome Belmont Butchery. Then I walked three more blocks to Carytown Wine & Beer to pick up some beer to pair with my newly acquired tubes of emulsified meat. [...]

Today a cadre of lady bloggers regularly pound out some serious quality blogs. Over the past year the site has doubled in popularity — which means more ladies AWWWW YEAH!!! Last [...]
This Friday I had the bestest birthday party ever thrown by my awesome wife. Here is a (incomplete) list of things that happened: I drank a ton of beer. Not just any beer, but some really nice beers. Thanks to everyone who kept putting tasty open beers in my hands. I definitely got a beer [...]
If you love fun, Richmond, and beer you need drop whatever you are doing and head on over to RiverCityRapids to read Snoopy’s bit on Richmond’s War on Nightlife. I’ll summarize via blockquotes: For example, Section Sec. 6-159 (b) of the proposal (Scroll to Page 9) states that if a club expects to reach its [...]
She has a seriously badass tattoo: My wife now loves Richmond more than I do and is way cooler than me. Technorati Tags: wtf
I VOTED. Did you? I’ll post my ballot in the comments after the election is over.

Earlier this week I saw that John over at CHPN.net had interviewed his City Council candidates. I thought it was such a great idea I stole his questions and fired off an email to both the incumbent, Marty Jewell, and the challenger Silver Persinger. I told both of them that I’d like their responses by [...]
By now everyone knows George Allen hates black people called some guy “macaca” and Jim Web hates women said a thing when he was younger. But do you know who is running for the 5th District City Council spot? I do, but I live there. Anyway, here is an incomplete list of things/people on the [...]
