Richmond's greatest sons and daughters, GWAR, have thrown their hate into the literary world, and while we're not expecting William Faulkner, we should probably expect William Fucked-your-mother.

Nothing will make you lose help like missed connections. People here in this world want to fuck bus drivers, lick dirty feet clean, talk about hot tubs, hit on strangers and just general awfulness. It tires you out. I’m gonna go take a nap, here’s the best of missed connections. Ben Folds Show - The National - 5/2 - End of Concert Exchanged Looks...
Richmond has shown me many wonderful and spectacular ways to waste my time, but none quite as good as this one. Richmond has shown me many wonderful and spectacular ways to waste my time, but none quite as good as this one.

What is the underground world of furries like?...
Believe it or not, RVA Mag was not the beginning. Much as we'd love to lay claim to having started it all, the history of independent press in Virginia goes back many years longer than the single decade we've been in operation--and Richmond-based author Dale Brumfield has chronicled a significant portion of that history in his new book,...
Contributors here at RVAMag read extremely large amount of missed connections every week to bring this column to you, but this week’s take the cake for just being the most fucking creepy batch in a long while.
