Just float around. I LOVE Asheville. Check to see if anyone good is playing at the Orange Peel. If its a Sunday there is a bar that I believe is called Ebony that has street musicians - real down home chicago r&b out in the streets.

You can't go wrong with Asheville really. Honestly, outside of where I live now, Asheville is my favorite place in the country.

 

rosetta's? i think it's called that. amazing health food/bar open late. cool peeps

 

Go to the Biltmore! The house is pretty cool, but the grounds are even better. It'll probably be pretty cold when you go, but still walking around the gardens is awesome no matter what the weather.

 

ah, asheville im moving up there soon.....unca is a good school. just go dowtown, lots of cool n funky little shops! and its easy to get around and you can do it all on foot bc its not very big. just have fun and explore, good luck!!

 

thanks everyone!! im so excited, i want to go now!!!

 

gotta get come coffee on the old dubbledecker bus. theres always a show there too. my first time there i stopped by before smilefest had a good time for a coupla days. my van broke down on the way back from the festy and the kids at backfromthedead VW took me in so i could build a new motor. gotto check out particle before bonnaroo so that was cool. now i like to visit folks out in the hills, but i always stop in for a night or two to jam with streetmusicians.

 

Barley's if you like beer, mellow mushroom...
Rosetta's is amazing. Skip the double decker bus coffee! Go to Beanstreets!

 

oh yes, beanstreet is rockkkkin.

 

i go to beanstreets for coffee, but you have to sit in the double decker at least once and have a cup. its pure poetry, even if they cant get the coffee right!

 

yeah ok the bus is good for one trip of good coffe and kitch.
don't forget about Laughing Seed for great vegetarian food!

 

will be in Ashville June 2nd-5th for an herbal conference and in need of a cheap or free place to lay my head. any ideas? hostels?

 

yeah, unfortunately, beanstreet closed down

 

Heya,
Any other Asheville people around the forums these days?

Peace and Love,

My husband and I will be moving near asheville soon. We just went down to visit about 3 days ago and it was sooo awesome. I loved it.

 

And dont forget fridays in the town circle! Amazing drum, and communal thing. I dont know what its called but I go whenever I can, and it is amazing.
