As of September 1, the Institute of Contemporary Art has been hosting More Little Ditties, a video installation by Morgan Bassichis. It remains until January 4, 2024. Christian Detres sat down with the artist to discuss their collection and how it relates to...
It's another week of Missed Connections from around the state, and this time around it brings us a lesson: sometimes it's best to come straight out and tell people who you are and what you want. Like if you're a soccer mom who wants to buy some weed for those long late mornings when the kids are out of the house. Or if you work in a warehouse and...
If you're looking for love in all the wrong places, take heart -- you just might find it in the Missed Connections. We've got a bumper crop for you, from those seeking their only true love to those who really just need a shower. This week's column also produced the most relatable Missed Connection I've seen all year -- the person who thought the...
It's too hot outside to walk -- we all get that. But if you took an Uber instead of hoofing it this week, you just might find yourself in the Missed Connections, where it seems all the lovelorn Uber drivers of the Commonwealth have chosen to congregate this week. But they're not the only ones seeking their momentary crushes; some are looking for...
This summer is getting rolling, and things are heating up in the Missed Connections this week. Unfortunately, things don't always go smoothly -- which is why people end up here in the first place. This week, we've got someone who appears to be looking for a dungeon master -- in the role-playing game sense, that is. Which still sounds dirty, now...
It's that time once again -- time for the Missed Connections, where every week we hear from a broad swath of Virginia -- the hopeful, the forlorn, and of course, the kiiiinda creepy. This week, we learn that backyard showers are apparently not just for beach houses anymore -- although if you have one, you better stay vigilant, because your...
It's really hot this week, y'all. I'm talking about the temperatures outside, but I could also be talking about the Missed Conections. Now that we're past Memorial Day weekend, I think we can all agree that it's officially summer in Virginia, and you can tell from this week's crop of anonymous internet flirtations. For example, we've got a...
May is heating up, and once again we find ourselves with a bumper crop of Missed Connections. The indubitable star this week is a middle-aged dad who's out there living that American Beauty life -- and not in a good way. But the rest of you who are getting out there and meeting people with no connection to your immediate family… don't get us...
Today we celebrate the life of Grumpy Cat -- gone too soon from the world, but not from our hearts -- with a selection of our favorite Grumpy Cat memes. Today we learned that Grumpy Cat has passed away at the relatively young age (even for cats) of 7. The most famous cat around the world leaves a grumpy legacy like no other. And as her family...
Here we go with another spring edition of Missed Connections, in which we can plainly see that when the winter clothes went back into the closet, the tattoos went out on display once again. Based on this week's crop it seems like almost everyone in Richmond has tattoos... but then again, if you've lived here for more than a week, you already knew...
