Holiday
madness, Misfits and metal |
There's
hardly a corner of Hampton
Roads that isn't celebrating
the holidays this weekend. There
are plenty of illuminations
and parades to check out. Just to offset all the holiday
cheer a bit, though, The Misfits -- minus key member Glen
Danzig -- are bringing their horror-punk show to Virginia
Beach.

FAMILY
FUN: Nicole's picks |
|  There's
no fighting it – Christmas has come to town. We’ve
got boat parades in
Yorktown
and Hampton,
a Hollydazzle fireworks show complete with holiday music
in
Newport
News, Grand Illuminations in Williamsburg
and downtown Yorktown
and the annual holiday parade in Virginia
Beach.
For
the Scrooges out
there, Tom
Murphy's slapstick
comedy at the Suffolk Center
for Performing Arts earns laughs from the entire family,
and Arena
Racing returns to
the Hampton Coliseum Saturday
for another turn around the track.

MUSIC:
Sam's picks |
| Remember,
shoppers, concert tickets make satisfying stocking stuffers.
Tickets to
three big shows go on sale this weekend: Wu-Tang
Clan in Norfolk, R. Kelly in Hampton
and Van Halen in Charlottesville.
 Here’s
a look at live music that will jingle bells and deck halls
across Hampton Roads in the next few days.
Horror-punk
legends The
Misfits — minus vocalist Glenn Danzig
— will cast a spooky spell tonight at Steppin’
Out in Virginia Beach.
Friday,
slide into downtown Hampton where the
roots-rocking Cashmere
Jungle Lords will raise a ruckus. This veteran
Richmond outfit plays original music with style and passion.
Saturday’s stand-out
show comes courtesy of
Kathy
Mattea, pictured, the country singer known
for hits including "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses"
and "Walking Away a Winner." The respected folk-country
artist plays a holiday-themed show in Suffolk Saturday night.

MUSEUMS: Mark's picks |
|
 Metal
matters most this week when it comes to what’s happening
in museums. It also beats the pants off the usual suspects
when it comes to opening new and sometimes provocative windows
into the world around us.
Eastern
Shore sculptor David Turner will be the starring
attraction
this weekend when the Virginia Living Museum stages a two-day
show and sale of his renowned bronze wildlife
figures. Since 1983, he and his father, Bill, have produced
more than 300 different, often astute likenesses of creatures
from the wild, including a bald eagle recently donated to
the museum by Williamsburg collector Robert Suleski.
Just as insightful in its
own way is the collection of more than 115 antique tea caddies
that closes Sunday at Colonial Williamsburg’s DeWitt
Wallace Decorative Arts Museum. Though teatime may seem
like a
quaint and old-fashioned ritual today, the leaf was
so rare and
precious when the custom first reared its head
during the late 17th and early
18th centuries that it quickly
became a potent way to express wealth, power and social
position. That makes "Canisters,
Caddies and Chests: Fashionable Tea Containers of the
18th
Century" as much about the intensely competitive,
fashion-conscious world of the time as the talented silversmiths
who made them.
