Last year, the ball was the same night as Brewgrass. This year, it’s the same night as Pride. Kitty Love continues to show her arrogance and planning at the highest level possible. Community collaboration means zilch to this woman and it shows.
Let’s see you try to plan an event that doesn’t conflict with anything else going on in Asheville.
What an arrogant response. I guess you know what you are looking for. What fall weekend night would you pick, oh wise one?
Well, indie, I’d move it back to June and involve a larger group of connected community members (rather than the people I just personally favor) for the planning and execution. If it stays in fall, there are no major events planned for September 14 or pretty much any weekend in November.
Kitty said several years ago she wasn’t interested in an fundraising event that would draw in members of the community and introduce them to local artists. She sees the color ball as something that should be affordable for working artists, which is admirable. I just think room for both exists — it certainly did at the height of the Color Ball’s heyday.
Any idea where the new offices/space will be located?
Murphy, they’re looking right now. They just want something small, from what I understand.
