Welcome, readers new and old, to the summer mail-out edition of tableau, Charlottesville's only arts, entertainment and culture guide for students.
Normally, we'd be coming to you in living color, but for the sake of mail-ability, we're constrained to the confines of this black-and-white broadsheet. But no matter -- we have some colorful reviews to hold your attention.
After a grueling and highly competitive selection process, Meg, my co-editor, and I chose E. Steers-Smith as our food critic for the 2005-06 school year. The new Corner Bodo's -- finally open after a ten-year wait -- is our lead story this week, and be sure to pick up tableau every Thursday in The Cavalier Daily for our weekly restaurant reviews. After all, your time and cash are valuable, so don't waste either on a bad meal.
In fact, that's the philosophy behind tableau: After a long week, most of us are looking to unwind, but the party scene only goes so far. That's where tableau comes in.
If you're looking for an original way to spend your weekend or spare weeknight, pick up tableau every Thursday for reviews of local bands, local theater and local art exhibits. We also check out new movies, music, books and videogames so you won't get burned.
If you like what you see over the next few pages -- or think you could do better -- shoot us an e-mail at tableau@cavalierdaily.com. Meg and I would love to speak with you. Or if you prefer to do things face-to-face, come and check us out at the Activities Fair before school starts, or come to any one of our weekly staff meetings.
And if you just can't get enough tableau, point your web browser to cavalierdaily.com and click on Arts & Entertainment to browse our archives. We've even included some Online Exclusive content in this week's issue -- just look for the label next to the Live8 London and Howl's Moving Castle reviews.
Enjoy!
