The Fever to Sing arts advocacy presents: The Caribbean live FREE SHOW at Crossroads movies & music in Blacksburg on Price's Fork Rd!

The show starts at 7pm and it's open to all ages. We will start on time, so get there early! There should be ample parking for everyone attending.

They have been hailed by illustrious musical publications such as:

"The songs here have an uncanny flow from one to the next, to the point where they feel indelibly joined, a feeling heightened by the little sketchy instrumentals that cushion them from each other like sonic packing peanuts. After three albums and a couple of EPs, the Caribbean sound at home in this strange little white-collar rock place they've built for themselves. It's the folk music of the new American service economy."
--Pitchfork

"They're taking Brill Building songs and writing them in invisible ink, turning jazz standards into Twilight Zone episodes, turning folk songs into clouds of fog."
--PopMatters

Intro, kinda

2008-05-18T20:34:38Z

Hi! (I hope this is allowed, if not feel free to delete :))

I just joined this comm, to see if there was anyone in Blacksburg interested in japanese lolita fashion.

The reason I ask, is because June 7 is International Lolita Day, and me and one of my friends were considering going downtown that day for tea, shopping, etc, and wanted to see if anyone else was interested, or had heard of it.

We will be dressing in our frilly finest that day, and shooting pictures, hopefully around town and campus. If anyone expresses interest, perhaps we could meet and talk. :D

Please let me know with any questions or anything! :)

Re: Sex Offender Contacting Daycares

He is now in custody.

Sex Offender Contacting Daycare in the Area

2008-04-01T18:24:29Z

The following is an email from Neal Turner, Emergency Services Coordinator for Montgomery County:

I am not trying to frighten or alarm you, but I know all of you have small children (or know someone with small children) in nearby daycares, and I wanted to be sure this information got passed along. I provided a link below to the picture and info of a convicted sex offender that contacted the daycare where Nikki (my daughter) works—yesterday. He said his name was “Mark” and told her he had just gotten custody of his 4 year old daughter and was interested in day care for her. He even went as far to make an appointment for a tour on Wednesday. He then called back a second time and told Nikki he was interested in daycare on the weekends and asked her if she was interested. She, not knowing any better, gave him our home phone number to contact her. After she talked to him for a few minutes—he started to give her the creeps. He called our house last night and I spoke with him….he told me that his daughter was 11 years old. Needless to say, he also freaked me out. He had blocked his number at the daycare, but wasn’t smart enough to do that at my home and I found him on the Virginia Sex Offender Registry.

I sent an email to a state police lieutenant last night and have left a message with his probation officer this morning. The lady I spoke with at the probation office said he was being watched. Nikki found out this morning that he had also contacted Tiny Treasures in Christiansburg yesterday.

I just want to inform you and make you aware. Please pass this information along to your daycares. Here is the link:

Take care everybody and we’ll all be watching out for our kids!

Hair salons?

2008-03-31T16:17:26Z

Hi,

Despite having lived here in Blacksburg for almost 10 years now, I have never had my hair cut here. I'm looking for a nice place that will do a quality job on a simple cut and where the stylists are well trained enough that they could answer questions I have about the style I want and be able to make suggestions. So what's everyone's favorite place? Thanks
