Let me start by saying that it was a smart move to remove me from the Trump event at the Greater Richmond Convention Center before the former President spoke on Saturday. It was NOT a wise move to grant me press credentials in the first place. After over two hours...

My first impression of Deanna Danger was that she had a sweet sort of approachability. When I asked to interview her, she responded with a grin, “Fuck yes!” With her kewpie-doll looks and obvious candidness, I was well aware she is not a lady to be overlooked.

But while the daytime party at Hadad's Lake is amazing--what's better than a day at a water park with world-class bands--Best Friends Day has plenty more to offer...
While searching for a particular book upstairs at Chop Suey several months ago, an idea entered my mind. Standing alone amidst the quiet whispers of hundreds of well-loved titles, I paused to appreciate the sensations that surrounded me--the smell of the pages mixed with the vibrant artwork of the hundreds of book jackets, the sunlight streaming...
