The farce of a local music scene cranks up tonite at the Musical Marshmallow. People from around the area will show up for a free show. Cigs, whiskey, and banjos will be everywhere. Nothing tops giving your 2 year old their first cig at an outdoor concert in brutal heat/humidity.

As the music winds down people will try to leave the area. Walking more than 50 feet from the marshmallow can be dangerous. Who can possibly forget the beatings that happened last year. The highlight of them all was the one on Belmont Bridge at just after 9pm last summer when two people were attacked. For about 9 weeks in a row a beating took place. Will this be another Summer of C-Ville Sam?

If you see a beating taking place be sure to contact the proper authorities. It is good to constantly stay on your cell phone to report crime immediately (this was the technique that saved a UVA student a few months ago). You should also carry a flashlight so you can see criminals hiding in bushes. And since this is Virginia, be sure to bring your gun. You keep it loaded and in your pants or coat with one hand on it and the safety off so that you can respond quickly….just like Kyle in the Tech-Noir.
