Someone finaly caught the culprit
Finally caught the little bastard that is putting those damn RVA stickers on all the cars.

I don’t want to over-hype this event, but it will be the most inspiring and beautiful fireworks display you will ever see, ever. Your Heart will swell with joy when you experience Fireworks on the James with your family and friends. You will set your grocery store fried chicken on to your paper plate and take a moment to behold the familiar and unfamiliar faces around you. Human faces, necks craned back, wide eyed, illuminated sporadically by the dazzling light of the fireworks bursting in the glittering darkness.
The faces share a countenance, a look of wonder and excitement, and they share more than that. The true wonder of the 4th is the unity and connectedness between persons. We feel a brotherhood with our fellow Americans on the 4th. We are, together, a web of people with different interests, appearances, and values, but we comprise a fabric, a motley fabric, but the strongest fabric thats ever existed. The American fabric has been tried torn and tested, but it always comes out stronger than before. We might not think about our connection to the strangers around us in our morning commute or at the mall, but I urge you to think about what we have in common with the people around us on Brown’s Island this 4th of July.
There are no other things this weekend besides weddings and funerals that trump the Riverrock festival. I’ll see you out there, OR ELSE!
Tools, you know man? I just want tools that help talk to you. I want you to know what I know. I want you to get excited about the stuff that gets me excited. I don’t want it to take a lot of time. The best information is shared with a look, with a note on a napkin, and in Haiku format (my favorite). I don’t need to write a novel. I just want you to get what I get about this city. Its a passion, this place is actually cool. Its not because Richmond is a utopia nor is it in spite of it either. This place is cool the only way anything can truly be. It’s cool, for the most part, totally by accident. The blood/sweat/tears of many have congealed in the Jello mold that is the Falls of the James. There’s a lot of work to be done and a lot to discover everyday. I can tell you that if you set out in earnest to experience RVA you’ll never get bored. I just want you to read this and hopefully be inspired to pour what ever flavor of Jello you are into the mix and glom with us RVA true believers.
