Blog bits: A group blog, a group ride, and a guide

Share

Group blog
BlogAsheville, a new group blog that came out of the meeting of Ashvegas bloggers on Saturday, is now up thanks to Scrutiny Hooligans. Check it out. It’s going to be a cool evolution.

A pronouncer

Here’s a pronounciation guide for WLOSers, who continue to struggle as Julie (the Joker) Wunder did tonight:
Cruso: Crew-so (not “Ca-roo-so,” Julie)
Cashiers: Cashers (not “ca-sheers,” for goodness sakes)
Current: current (not “ca-rrent,” Darcel)

Candice, an army of one
What the hell was Candice Little wearing tonight – some kind of weird tigh-collared jacket. Did she join Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Debutantes, or what?

UPDATE: Candice changed her jacket to a wonderful purple lilac with narrow lapels for the 11. Perfect.

Russian folk singer

Russian folk singer Jamuna will be performing at the UNC Ashvegas “Concerts on the Quad” series. She’s the opening act at 7 p.m. Headliners are Moscow Nights. The show is free and open to anyone. Check her out.

Cupcakes – yum
Everything you needed to know about cupcakes.

Naked (not) bike ride
Despite all the hype, from Ashvegas bloggers and others, the naked bike ride turned out to be a non-event. Judging from the local TV news, it looked as though all of about four or five bikers, who all appeared male (although in Ashvegas you never know) turned out to glide down Biltmore Avenue without wearing shirts. So much for making a political statement (or whatever the hell you’re supposed to be doing while riding a bike naked).

The Naked Bike Ride did seem to be a non-event. However, according to photos published over here (http://newfrontier.com/asheville/naked/) there was one topless female bike rider.
