Others “in the know” of what’s really going on don’t speak up because they also know that ultimately, it doesn’t matter. Stories fade. New ones rise. Everything is forgotten in an instant. Roll with it. If anything, speaking up simply often makes things worse because it validates the original story in a strange way.

Meat Puppets Flyer Archive, 1980-1993 →
Well, this is awesome. I became a huge Meat Puppets fan in the mid-90s, thanks to that one boyfriend with that one mix tape. My parents later confiscated Too High To Die, which was duly returned to me like five years ago. It’s neat to see these old flyers, some from before I was even born. BRB, off to listen to “Why?” and feel fourteen again.

CHPN: This is not Church Hill (an open letter to... →
Yes. THIS. I always glance at articles that mention “Church Hill,” see by the address that it’s clearly not Church Hill at all, and shrug. But I probably don’t realize how many people aren’t as familiar with the area and assume that whatever they’re reading is correct. Journalists, it’s worth the extra few minutes here.

Five Ways 2011 Made Us Hopeful About RVA's Future →

In June 2011 we launched the i.e.* movement to transform this city from a civil-war attraction into a nationally renowned hotbed of creative talent. At the i.e.* launch event, we exchanged ideas with innovators on the front...
