RVA Magazine 2005-2011 : The Paul Lazio Era

Paul Lazio was an alter ego that would cause trouble in the name of gonzo. Essentially, the guy was a loose cannon that made "helpful" suggestions to the authorities and get us in trouble. We couldn't control him and his antics just took the whole magazine on a ride...

The Monday Hangover 03/01

The bastards are closing in. All of them. Debt collectors, landlords, city politicians with puritanical noise ordinances, senators with bureaucratic guillotines falling with nauseous rapidity towards the tensing neck of our state arts funding, and the Westboro Baptist Church wheeling into town with all the senseless venom of unreasonable hate...

The Monday Hangover

As John Lee sound checked on the low-floating stage of The Camel, the weekend fell upon the hunched shoulders of a Friday night and all its neon sex.
