Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:42:24 -0500 Mystery Science Theater 3000 + Weird Al = nerd nirvana Y'all have got to forgive me for the slow blog posts recently. You should have noticed something was wrong when we let Beyonce's various wigs, too obvious cultural references (Tarantino? Girl, you so edgy!) and Tourette's ticking from her latest video go untouched. And you didn't even call or write to check on me. You show me no love. It's ok though. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/mystery-science-theater-3000-weird-al-nerd-nirvana Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:54:10 -0500 Great goings on tonight (Please pardon the bare-bones, photo and link-less posts here; I'm operating with a 1983 Tandy right now) http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/great-goings-tonight Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:50:16 -0500 We loved The Color Purple   I loved, loved, loved the musical "The Color Purple," which opened at Chrysler Hall last night for its short nun. Absolutely fabulous, and given that I generally hate musicals, you know I'm not blowing smoke. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/we-loved-color-purple Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:28:41 -0500 Lady Gaga is new queen (and king) of the music video Raise your hand if you got that. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/lady-gaga-new-queen-and-king-music-video Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:50:29 -0500 Chris Brown and Rihanna's questionable timing       Let's start with Chris. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/chris-brown-and-rihannas-questionable-timing Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:10:30 -0500 Two very promising upcoming parties you should be seen at   (Today is National Use Improper Grammar in Blog Post Headline Day. Get into it.) http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/two-very-promising-upcoming-parties-you-should-be-seen Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:04:04 -0500 Breaking: MAE trying to salvage tour after robbery Big shout to Meghan for this one: MAE reported via Twitter just an hour ago that their van and trailer were stolen from their hotel (thanks security!) 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 You'll never believe who we ran into last night   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 Dwele is coming to town to work with Nottz 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 Blues scene gives blues fans well, the blues   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
