Summer of ’13 Second Thursdays Happy Hour @ Hardywood

Hardywood Park Craft Brewery | Richmond, Virginia

Over the summer months of June, July, August, and September, MasonRVA will host our Second RVA Street FoodiesThursday’s Happy Hour at the Hardywood Food Truck Court.  Hardywood does a good job to make this a family friendly event:

RVA Street Foodies Court runs from 6-9pm every Thursday through the season and is a family friendly environment. All ages are welcome at the brewery.

In the past, we have seen Richmond’s well known Juggler and Magician Johnathan Austin at the food court and there is always an ice cream truck and the King of Pops food cart, so bring the whole family.  In fact, bring your non-Mason friends and their families too!  Everyone is welcome to join us on June 13th, July 11th, August 8th, and September 12th during the Summer of ’13.

Our plan is to stakeout an area in the grass and setup our tent, some chairs, and maybe a lawn game or two to give everyone a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the evening with friends and family.

We look forward to making some new friends at Hardywood this summer! – Rob.

MasonRVA Second Thursday’s Happy Hour is on the the 2nd Thursday of (almost) every month (except when it is not).  Like MasonRVA on Facebook or Follow Us on Twitter for future dates, times, and locations of happy hours, watch parties, and other events in Richmond.

 

It’s Not Easy Being Green (and Gold in RVA)

Top 10 reasons it is not easy to be a Mason Alum in Richmond, Virginia…

Gunston

“Gunston the …” – well he is green.

#10. University of Richmond Alum (if you can find one that did not move back to New England) reminiscing of the “good old” pre-A10 days in the ’80s and early ’90s when Dick Tarrant was the coach, they beat Mason in multiple CAA finals, and they made it to the Sweet 16.

#9. VCU HAVOC billboards on I-95 and the new VCU/MCV seal on every bus.

#8. You wear your Mason Green & Gold with pride but people think you went to William & Mary.

#7. Your kids go to VCU to stay close to home and/or to go school w/ friends.

#6. Lawyers from UVA law school.

#5. You call a sports bar to organize a watch party and they (all) answer “Home of the VCU Rams”.

#4. Engineers from Virginia Tech.

#3. You’ve had the same Dentist for 20 years and three years ago he would vehemently argue that he graduated from MCV not VCU. At your next check-up, he’s wearing a VCU golf shirt.

#2. You tell your neighbor that her kid should apply to GMU and she tells you her daughter did apply (to James Madison).

#1. VCU fans
