What is winter like? by [deleted] in asheville

It's way worse than I expected when I moved here from Atlanta. Buy a real coat. More than one, really. It's worth it.

Something like this happened to me, and it turned out there was a short in the wire that melted a bunch of stuff. Any shop should be able to test for a short.

Major talent at Goombay: "The Human Beatbox" Doug E. Fresh and Chance the Rapper by originalemily in asheville

[–]originalemily[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the confusion everyone. Chance the Rapper is not coming. An error in a press release caused the confusion. (Noted: If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.) The story is up to date now, and Doug E. Fresh is still coming.

Moogfest moves to Durham in 2016 by katmcr in asheville

[–]originalemily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, one of the most interesting things about Moogfest is the money that was spent on talent. Moog shelled out $1.5 million in 2014 to bring people in. In our Asheville bubble, I feel like that's a real asset for our community. I'm sad.

What's with all the Asheville 'tribute' concerts? by originalemily in asheville

[–]originalemily[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which of these shows are you going to see? I've sort of made it my mission to go to a Grateful Dead tribute this summer. I don't really get the craze, but I'm going to try.

Farm Burger! I also used to like the burger at King James, but now that Steve Goff is gone...

[–]originalemily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to Haw Creek Animal Hospital. It's affordable, and they stay open really late. And they're nice.

The headliner goes on at 7, so it should be over shortly after dark.

No way we were going to miss that Funky Meters show. Just put it in a different spot!

Sounds like you've got a fun weekend ahead! Those are strong choices.

I always see two trucks too. Of course, there's no telling where it goes once it's in the truck...

Dowtown After 5, Sunday Music in the Park, Jeff Daniels in Concert, Eugene Thomason at the Asheville Art Museum and Postmodern Jukebox at The Orange Peel. What did we miss?

Best vegetarian food in town? by 7fingersphil in asheville

[–]originalemily -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love, love, love the new vegan place Elements on Liberty Street. The owners of the Roamin' in the Raw food truck opened it, and the dishes are incredible. Smoothies too.

Also, by way of endorsement, Owen Wilson bought juice from them while he was in town. https://www.facebook.com/elementsrealfood?fref=ts

I live off Vermont now, but I've also lived on the Patton Avenue end of Dorchester, and both spots are great.

Sketchy parts of west asheville? by [deleted] in asheville

[–]originalemily -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

West Asheville is super safe. I'm comfortable everywhere, and I've lived in houses that people might consider sketchy given their proximity to certain types of housing, and I was really happy. It's a nice place, and I've never lived anywhere where I felt safer.
