Good Food - Good People

It's CSA Share time here in Blacksburg, and we just signed up for a half-share of veggies from the Blue Ridge Growers Cooperative (run by Mike Burton) and a fruit share from Good Food Good People. Seven Springs Farm also offers a veggie share in town.

And it's the coolest Friday ever--Matthew Vollmer is reading from his new fiction collection (Future Missionaries of America) at 7pm (2/20) at Volume 2 Bookstore, and then the Hackensaw Boys are playing at The Lantern.

Somehow, despite all my checking of websites, I managed to miss the fact that Girl Talk is playing on campus (and is sadly sold out already).

At the Lyric this Sunday (2/22), Robbie Schaefer (from the band Eddie from Ohio) is doing "Songs for Kids Like US" at 3pm. And Jonatha Brook is playing on April 7, also at the Lyric (and this is where I decide I'm truly old/in the "adult contemporary" category).

In the way future for kids, there's Playhouse Disney Live March 8 at the Roanoke Civic Center, and a Bob the Builder show at the Salem Civic Center May 8.

Movies!!

Slumdog Millionaire is at the Lyric through Feb 5 (Thurs). Also Milk, Frost/Nixon, Slumdog Millionaire, Revolutionary Road, The Reader, Defiance, AND the Curious Case of Benjamin Button are all at the Regal 14-plex in Christiansburg. That pretty much covers everything I wanted to see all year!

Also, I just found out that B-burg has a Ladies Roller-derby League--the NRV Rollergirls!! I'm kind of tempted...
