Cellar IRL
 

Ashville's Friday rush hour! Oh, that's funny.

Great that you met Elspode.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say him.

:yesnod:

Damn! So jealous of both of you!

I hope the picture isn't too big. Uploading from my phone onto tapatalk rather than the forum. Don't know when I'll get on the net with the computer. By the way, that's my husband, Bruce, in the middle. [emoji1] http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...57a26c03c3.jpg

There's a riverboat gambler right behind you.

Nice!

Sweeeeet!!!

Thanks for the great picture, you all look great!

Lucky elbow. ;)

V, I'm definitely the lucky one. I can only wish I could have spent more time with the lovely Lola Bunny and her awesome hubby, but long road trips end up being drivebys so often. Still, it was terrific. She is as sweet in person as she is online, and Asheville was an amazing place to meet another Dwellar.

Um...why?

These are my friends and former bandmates Phill and Beth Huber, who were also at lunch with us. Beth is about to become an Associate Professor of English Lit at UNC Asheville, and Phill is a union stagehand who gets to work all the kickass shows that come to Asheville. He is a flautist, and had Ian Anderson autograph his flute case a while back. A couple of songs we recorded together back in the day (the day was 20 years ago at this point, BTW), can be found here and another here.

In the "Goddamn, it is a small friggin' world" category, Lola got to buy her chocolates from their son, who had just gone on shift at the local artisan chocolate shop.

Although very brief, it was a damn high quality Cellarite encounter.

Only 20 years, pfft, the blink of an eye. :D

"...and then one day you find, ten years have got behind you; no one told you where to run. You've missed the starting gun."

Makes me weep every fucking time I hear it.

beautiful, all of it

I was the lucky one. Bruce has been promising to take me to Ashville but never did. If it weren't for Elspode, I wouldn't have been able to go there. Also, it was great meeting him and his wife. And his friends were very nice people too. Lastly, I came home with fine chocolates. :D:jig::jig::jig: Bruce took me to Black Mountain to go shopping instead and I got some nice loose tea there.

I know, right? And then hubby started saying how we also need to drop off the radio to get it set. So fine. I didn't need more excuses after that.
