GOD BLESS AMERICA ROCK SHOW!

Received this one yesterday afternoon in my inbox. Thought I’d share it with you. This one gives a whole new meaning to wrapping yourself up in the flag. (or unwrapping yourself as the case may be)
Here’s the details on the show: Play hosts The Stabones, Culdera, Against Grace, Two Kings, and Alien Cabbage later this afternoon (July 4). Doors open at 4pm! show starts at 5pm!?!. If you’re not familiar with Play, it’s located behind Rivals Sports Bar and Grille. You can check out the venue’s MySpace page here. $9 cover. Rock n roll, I salute thee!

From our friend Lu Sid at Cvillain.com
Someone at the Space party referred to Cvillain as a really organized, really fun community bulletin board. To add to that warm fuzzy feeling:
Charlottesville Women’s Theatre is having auditions for their next production on Monday, June 2, 2008 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Bridge PAI in Belmont (www.thebridgepai.com). Check it out. It sounds like they would like everyone and anyone to audition (we are working on getting parlie to audition in a dress-they would have a GREAT turnout).
Charlottesville Women’s Theatre Project is holding auditions for it’s next production on Monday June 2nd from 7-10 at The Bridge PAI in Belmont www.thebridgepai.com.

Live Arts just did a major redesign of their website. They’ve incorporated a lot of new features such as a blog (with commentary!), an AJAX side bar (that’s fancy stuff for non-technical people), sharing features and a whole lot more. Go check out their site and let us know what you think.

We just had someone send in us the announcement for Live Arts 2008-2009 and I wanted to share it with you.
The arts enthusiast adds:
Before I go on, more important than the specifics of this list are the surprisingly moving words delivered by Live Arts Artistic Director John Gibson. When I say “surprisingly moving”, I am not exaggerating. I don’t get moved, but by God that man made me cry. The theater community of central Virginia has lost some members to God this year, even just this week. I didn’t know all of these people, but I am certain from the audible gasps in the audience that they were loved in the community. Perhaps others in this forum would know who was spoken of by John.
John’s elegy and birth announcement were so impassioned and earnest that I could see why Charlottesville is such a uniquely theater-heavy area, and Live Arts is such a unique theater, not just in Virginia but in the entire theater world. Our area’s theatrical heart beats big; it contains multitudes of creative spirits who unite daily to create our region’s tears and laughter, from Four County Players to the Hamner to Blackfriars and every theater, classroom, bar and ruin in between.
I was too entranced to write while John spoke, so anyone else who was there, please correct anything I’ve missed. Thank you very much!
The list is after the break..
