PC Load Letter Festival

A weekend for smashing ridiculously difficult-to-use office equipment.

A mandatory weekend where you have to sleep, sleep, sleep the day away. Nothing to do, nothing you'll miss. Just. Sleeping.

Oh wait … that's NASCAR

 

Sundae Funday

Clown cones for everyone!

 

Goonie-Fest

Goonies never say die!

Christie Newman, office manager

Everyone loves a giant food fight.

 

Naked Festival

Why not?

Bring a little bit of Roswell into Richmond.

Greek Festival

There's so much fine Greek cuisine here in Richmond, so why not?

 

A Really Big Music Festival

Everyone loves the music scene here, and I think it's high time we celebrated it.

 

Science Festival

The science museum is great -- but let's bring it outside!

 

Thai Food Festival

There's so much fine Thai cuisine here in Richmond, so why not?

 

A Travis Barker Commemorative Air Show

It's "plane" to see what a good idea this is!

 

Karri Peifer, editor

 

The Fan Restaurant Festival

Pick your favorite Fan restaurant, sit in it and drink. It's very celebratory.

 

The Support Your Local Museum Festival

Why not, we have plenty.

The Greek Festival for People Who Just Want to Eat and Not be Seen

We REALLY need one of these.

 

The It Happens in January When Nothing Else is Going On Festival

The annual greek festival offers a curbside drive thru for "people who just want to eat and not be seen" You don't even have to get out of your car. They'll take the food right to your window.

For the record, I agree with the intern. We do need a Greek festival. The one here is not by any means a good Greek festival. Columbus Ohio has one that I lust over. Richmond could take some pointers from them.

Regarding the midget posting...The correct team is "little person". And for those of you thinking "what's the big deal", you probably also use the word "retard".

Sorry I gave you guys a page view. This is awful, not funny (like it used to be) and boring. And your intern is a pelt.

Well this is embarrassing.

Right, the intern probably just got to Richmond. Greek Food Festival has been happening for over 20 years.

Could someone please clue the intern in?? I am pretty sure I went to the Greek Festival this year along with most of Richmond.
