Adam Says: The Braves Are Still In Richmond? Could Have Fooled Me.

After hearing the news that the Braves had signed a lease extension to stay at the Diamond for another three years my heart sank. Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about this whole thing? I may also be the only one who wishes they would just leave... I mean I love going to a Braves game once a year like the rest of Richmond, but if they left would we miss them? Now my worst fears have been realized as the Times-Disgrace outlines today in this article... for the next three years we are going to hear non-stop blabbering about the stupid Diamond... Oh I can't wait to hear another city official tell me how they are going to turn around the Boulevard... Seriously this is the quote for the article:

"Richmond plans to hire a consultant next month to run a nationwide search
for developers to transform the park and surrounding area along the Boulevard,
Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Harry E. Black said yesterday"

The only way you can transform the park and the area around it is to tear down the bus station.

Adam and Jeremy Say: It's the Freakn' Weekend!

It's Adam and Jeremy's FREAKN' WEEKEND CALENDER! So here are our picks for the weekend in Richmond and Asheville.


Friday May 4

Top Pick

Wolfmother @ the Orange Peel (Asheville) You can get your iPod fix with these retro rockers.

The Back Up Plan

Lily Tomlin @ the Paramount Theater (C-ville) Good for a couple of laughs I am sure.


Saturday May 5

Top Pick

Cinco de Mayo Festival on Browns Island (Richmond) Can you beat it? Half drunk college co-eds mix with winos from south of the river all to the soothing sounds of the Mariachi.

The Back Up Plan

Mountain Sports Festival (Asheville) Three straight days of sweaty hippies doing semi athletic activities, and copious amounts of "natural pain relievers."


Sunday May 6

Top Pick

Blonde Redhead @ the 930 Club (Washington DC) Yeah you have heard the name, but you have no clue who they are... well they are worth checking out.

The Back Up Plan

Spider-Man 3 (World Wide) Yeah so its a slow night, and you know everyone is going to see this... so don't be "that guy" at the water cooler who didn't see the movie over the weekend.


If Money is an issue head over to the Canal Club (Richmond) Friday and Saturday night for free music from all your favorite local artists (all is relative term.)

If Money is no issue the NASCAR boys will be at RIR for two races this weekend to race around in a circle... yeah if its your thing.

If rednecks, beer, and cars driving in circles are not your idea of fun then check our the Richmond Braves and Asheville Tourist Baseball teams; both of which have three game home stand's at their respective feilds this weekend... mmmm suburbanites, beer, and middle aged men scratching themselves.

Oh and if you are not willing to drop twenty dollars and a kidney to see Spider-Man 3 this weekend you can check out the cheap flicks at the Brew N View (Asheville) and the Byrd Theater (Richmond.) The Brew N View is showing Norbit and Reno 911 and the Byrd is showing We Are Marshall and Zodiac (Oh Jake Gyllenhaal is so SEXY!)
