Art everywhere!
- It was pure wanderlust that took Birdlips from Charlottesville to San Francisco, but a new project called "DRIFT" will take them everywhere else. Behold this early entry in the duo’s wandering musical project, of last year’s "High on Yourself." (The duo returns to the Southern next month.)
A new video from Birdlips. More below.
- All weekend: Lookie-lookie! Hamner Theater has a snazzy new website, where you can check out the dates for VPSI Readings—that’s the Virginia Playwrights and Screenwriters Initiative. Enjoy (for free!) original new works by some distinguished locals, including Peter Coy and Clinton Johnston.
- Tim Burton gave this old tale a breath of fresh air in this year’s film rendition, but delve into Lewis Carroll’s off-kilter kids’ classic Alice in Wonderland at Four County Players, opening this weekend, to learn the true meaning of strange.
The 1903 film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland is just about as scary as Tim Burton’s. How will Four County Players’ compete?
- The red-headed stranger himself returns to the Charlottesville Pavilion tomorrow night. Have a look at this video: Looks like ol’ Uncle Willie‘s has spent as much time in his life singin’ as he has talkin’.
Willie’s cover of Jimmy Cliff’s "The Harder They Come" from his infamous 2005 reggae album. What’s not to love about Willie Nelson?
- Tomorrow afternoon, Craft Work delivers exactly what it sounds like it would: Local Handmade, and Vintage Wares. Drop dosh on duds, or get goods for the new digs at the BridgePAI—whatever you do, watch this live Kraftwerk video:
