All their equipment and merchandise, they reported, are gone and they're trying to salvage the show for a Boston date. We just tried calling to get more info but couldn't reach them. When we do, we'll share. Bummer. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/breaking-mae-trying-salvage-tour-after-robbery Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:40:35 -0500   Ok so, not even a week ago, we did a post about the group Pretty Ricky coming to town. The post, which we obviously and clearly forgot about, said they were coming to town Nov. 4th. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/youll-never-believe-who-we-ran-last-night Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:35:18 -0500 A little birdie tells us that kindofabigdeal, somewhat reclusive (but super-nice) producer Nottz will soon be hosting soul crooner Dwele at his mysteriously located Norfolk lair in the coming days. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/dwele-coming-town-work-nottz Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:54:00 -0500   Over the past few weeks a number of blues fans have written expressing concern about the blues scene - or lack thereof - here and, presumably, elsewhere. To borrow liberally from one eloquently written and non-psycho maniac-on-speed rant (thank you!) email: http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/blues-scene-gives-blues-fans-well-blues Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:18:48 -0500   Jan. 30, John Paul Jones Arena. Should be a good one. The “King of Country” is back! 17x CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee George Strait will kick off his arena tour early next year and this time, he’s bringing along one very special lady – Reba McEntire.    http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/george-and-reba-are-coming-charlottesville Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:30:09 -0500 Admitting you own, or would like to own, a Snuggie is pretty much on par with admitting that you like, even ironically, the band Weezer. Which is why it's kind of brilliant that these two supremely so-doofusy-they're-sort-of-cool pop culture products have linked up to create something so wrong that it's right: the Weezer Snuggie. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/weezer-and-snuggie-join-forces-display-geeky-awesomeness Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:17:28 -0500 Last week alone, three people called here asking how they could meet Pharrell Williams. (How should I know? Pottery class? Strip club? JDate.com? And thank you, by the way, for not even entertaining the premise that you'd actually called to talk to me.) http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/another-chance-meet-someone-music-business Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:44:02 -0500 As you can imagine, there's lots going on this weekend. The most elaborate, over-the-top spectacle is sure to be at Granby Theater in Norfolk,  where "Thriller" and three more performances will be executed on stage, no pun intended. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/10/halloween-parties-grownups Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:37:57 -0400   OK, for the second time in a matter of hours I've been sent a story about this new "Ken" doll -- the "Sugar Daddy Ken." The doll is geared toward adult doll collectors, and is supposed to exemplify Palm Beach fashion. I'm so confused. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/10/ladies-would-you-date-doll Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:12:08 -0400 (old pic from C&D!) Kelis has had some awesome albums, including "Kaleidoscope" -- which was one of The Neptunes very first albums-- a fun mix of funk, R&B, pop, rock and soul. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/10/were-so-excited-kelis-back-get-jack-splash Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:59:30 -0400
