Today’s the day: meet your media

Share

Today’s a big day in Asheville. The UNCA Bulldgos will try to remain undefeated in Big South Conference Play. Local celeb Andie MacDowell will replay her Groundhog Day glory days at the WNC Nature Center. There will be chili cook-offs for political candidates. It will be a beautiful with a high around 60, and people will be out.

And to top it off, tonight will bring creative minds together in a way not seen before in Asheville. Here’s the post from BlogAsheville, which sums it up quite nicely. See you at the Rocket Club:

Community Media come together to storm the brains and blend the circles this Saturday, Feb. 2nd at west Asheville’s Rocket Club. BlogAsheville, MAIN, and WPVM are gathering to see what strange alchemy might result.

From 7-8 pm, BlogAsheville bloggers will meet with folks from MAIN and WPVM to imagine how community internet providers, community radio, and community bloggers can innovate and partner. Wally Bowen, archguru of MAIN already has oodles of interesting ideas, and he’ll put some of those out for us to consider. Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company is providing some pizzas for this hour, so come if you’re hungry!

From 8 pm until the last conversation is conversed, we’ll be meeting new folks, catching up with BlogAsheville compatriots, and hanging hardcore at the Rocket Club. If things get too crowded or too noisy there, we may bail across the street to The Admiral.

So come on out to a landmark event in Asheville’s growing community media juggernaut. Intelligent, witty, well-read, media savvy, and beautiful – our community media grows, develops, and celebrates.
