The GIANTS! Exhibition Preview Party was last night at VMFA, and for the first time in my 20+ years moving within Richmond’s arts scene, I saw a mix of people I honestly didn’t expect to ever share the same room. High-end collectors, street artists, curators, younger...

Porno theaters and biker haunts, streams of punk rockers flowing from bar to street to bar again, stitched up in Germs gear and Buzzcocks back patches. A line of motorcycles slouch crooked near the sidewalk, like iron horses in front of a saloon. This was Grace Street in the 1990s, which, at that point, had maintained a rowdy reputation for...
Welcome to this week's Missed Connections, where it seems that the season for hollering at redheads continues. Spring is also here (even if it's pretty cold this morning...), and you can tell by the people out riding bikes, walking dogs, and checking out fine hotties.

It feels like it’s coming from deep inside your body. Spurts of fog blast out from under the stage, and wisps linger around technicolor lights. It’s all aglow --...
The first warm weekend of the year happened only days ago, so of course the Missed Connections are heating up along with the weather. This is definitely the week for redheads, too, so if you're a carrot top, keep an eye out -- your Craigslist Prince Charming just might be looking for you. We've also got a run on sweatpants this time around, which...

I hope you all planted your potatoes last weekend, because spring is here, and it's about time! We're all ready for the sun to shine on us again, and as this week's Missed Connections makes clear, a lot of people were out, about, and checking all the beautiful people out this past weekend, both at Shamrock the Block and other fine outdoor...
