GWAR storms Richmond Waffle House after coffee launch
Members of GWAR, Richmond's homegrown costume metal band, popped by a Henrico Waffle House on Saturday night.
Why it matters: Richmond might be the only city in the world where it's perfectly normal(ish) to see two middle-aged men dressed in little more than loincloths and leather masks in a Waffle House.
Driving the news: GWAR was in town and in costume for the launch of their new"Berserker Mode" coffee, a "savagely sticky with muddy molassesness and foul-fruited candy sweetness" collab with Concept Cafes Coffee, per the website.
The launch was at GWARbar, of course.
It looks like some of the members stopped by the Waffle House on Parham near Staples Mill after the event, where a diner captured some of the band at play and posted the video on Instagram.
What's next: The members appeared to be making a video of their own, so stay tuned.
