by | Mar 11, 2014 | COMMUNITY

One of the largest collections of card players ever took place this past weekend at the Richmond Convention Center – The Magic Grand Prix. (We were actually there to cover the event, keep an eye out for that story later this week)

One of the largest collections of card players ever took place this past weekend at the Richmond Convention Center – The Magic Grand Prix. (We were actually there to cover the event, keep an eye out for that story later this week)

But someone beat us to the headline-punch, here. It looks like a bearded genius went around the tournament and collected exposed butt cracks. And while we wouldn’t really call this news, or go out of our way to make fun of an event that was such a success here in RVA, the photo gallery has over 1 million views, and we don’t like to be scooped.

Take a look at this weekend’s MTG tournament through the lens of a folding chair.

The Richmond 34 Sat Down. What Are We Standing Up For?

Detroit 67 Is Ablaze at the Firehouse

I’ve given up on trying to write reviews of plays I see at the Firehouse Theatre immediately after leaving the show. Maybe I’m slow, but there is always so much to process that “sleeping on it” is the only way I’m going to unpack the turmoil they’ve left me with as I...
