Day 19 & 20 - Asheville, North Carolina

We spent the last two days in Asheville, NC. It was the first time I had ever been to either of the Carolinas and it made quite an impression on me. Asheville has the reputation of being the Seattle or Portland of the east coast. I've always loved the south and this felt like a perfect combination of the northwest and the south. I really liked it.

They even had a "pike place brass pig."

I'm taking one online class this quarter just to stay enrolled in UW. I've been registered for Stat 311, one of the intermediate statistic classes, but I wasn't able to pick up the text book at the bookstore before we left for tour. After searching in the Indiana University and University of Michigan bookstores, I resigned to having the text shipped to a family friend who lives in Asheville. Ginny and Matt Barker graciously received and passed the book on to me. Now I can do homework... :(

Downtown Asheville, NC.

The venue we were playing at was called Scandals. It was a very strange club that usually hosts drag queen acts. The walls were all made of metal sheets with diamond shaped grips on them and there were little satellite stages for other acts to stand on. It was very strange; we set up on the ground.

Yeah, this is Kevin reading a book on the bandstand... nerd.

The host home that Solomon, Patrick and I were in was the best host we've had yet. Their names were Eva and Bryan. Eva made us a lot of food and they were over all great people.

Why didn't the amoeba family have a landline phone?
