This is Not a CLAW on November 12, 2010
CLAW is dead, long live CLAW! Rumor has it that there won’t be a CLAW on Nov. 12th, 2010, behind the Blue Moon Diner, but you should check it out for yourself. And bring $5 cover in cash at the very least. Proceeds go to support The Women’s Initiative, a local organization that works to provide effective counseling services, social support and education to empower women to transform challenging life situations into opportunities for renewed well-being and personal growth.

Answering a Call to Arms: Ladies wrestle for charity in Charlottesville and more
by Kris Coronado
Lifting weights can be painfully monotonous . . . up, down, up, down, up, down . . . unless you let your creative whimsy run wild.
It’s unclear whether creativity or whimsy was running wilder between exercise pals Jennifer Hoyt Tidwell and Jodie Plaisance that November day in 2007, but what resulted was anything but monotonous.
They invented a fantasy sports league in which outrageously dressed, bawdy femmes challenge each other to arm-wrestling matches. Then they dumped the fantasy part.
