Fun with acronyms: CLAW gets press, DMB gets sax

Our lady arm wrestlers dish about the local federation of femme fatales, and Jeff Coffin joins Dave Matthews Band

The February 2009 issue of Virginia Living features an article about those bruising belles, the Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers. (Yes, by now, I’ve used every alliterative possibility to tell you that these women kick ass.)

Co-founder Jennifer Hoyt Tidwell offers up some interesting insights about the future of CLAW, including the organization’s current hiatus and possible resurrection for "an annual reunion extravaganza-blowout-a-palooza smackdown spectacular." Sounds like a CLAW match to me! Take a gander at C-VILLE’s CLAW cover story here.

And since we’re talking futures, here, the Dave Matthews Band fansite WeeklyDavespeak reports that Jeff Coffin, saxophone honker for the likes of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones and a touring member of DMB since member Leroi Moore’s death, will join the band full-time. Coffin’s site has the announcement. Do Dave fans have room in their hearts for a Flecktone?

These two unrelated news posts prompt a rather obvious question: Which member of Dave Matthews Band do you think would reign supreme in an arm wrestling tournament? My money’s on Boyd Tinsley, hands down.

Ready, set, wrassle! CLAW co-founder Jennifer Hoyt Tidwell hints at CLAW’s triumphant return next summer.
