I just saw him pushing a baby stroller by the Montford bridge.
just strolled by my house aggressively pushing stroller and looking around. lol
Montford neighborhood.
I saw him at Mela over the summer too…
I prefer Pete. 🙂
a friend of a friend saw him in Earth Fare, I don;t know how reliable that is though.
The guy behind the seafood counter at EarthFare on Hville Road said Zach had just been in 5 minutes before we got there.
Did he bring his beardless brother, Seth with him?
I saw Zach in Ashville too, but he was easy to overlook because of that hot blonde hunk in the cut-off pink flamingo T-shirt that was hanging out with him! That other dude should be in the movies or something! HA HA HA!!!
Thanks for explanation. And for change back to moderated comments. More time-consuming for you, no doubt, but keeps up the tone of the place.
Asheville is a odd place. We fancy ourselves oh so sophisticated and cosmopolitan, and yet we go totally ga-ga over every rumor involving the alleged presence of any celebrity. Anyone else remember the rumors about Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman moving to town, or Robin WIlliams? Then there was the rumor that Steven Speilberg had bought an entire floor of condos downtown. How about when Ben Afflect was supposedly spotted in Malaprops?
Please stop it people, it’s embarrassing.
He stayed with us Friday night. Nice man.
Ivy – indeed. And done.
From the looks of it, changing back to reviewed comments will be necessary.
The entire Ashvegas site (blog) seems to be on the decline since Jason went back to the Citizen-Times. Sometimes there are many days without a posting, and when there are, we get non-event news like this stuff. Maybe, he just doesn’t have the time or energy to devote to it any longer. Or, more likely, he is giving the hard-hitting local stories to the C-T, and turning this site into a celebrity blog like TMZ.
Curious,
I recently moved to allow comments to be posted without my initial review, and I’m watching to see how it goes. If the trolls continue, I’ll change back.
The comments are "moderated," so presumably Ash looks at all of them. He objected to some of the hateful remarks that used to bebposted on the Citizen-Times "Topix" forum. So curious to know why he allows them here? Has he adopted a "anyone can say anything" policy? I can see him letting one comment by GreenAsheville (I kinda liked the "Paris Hilton of the South" remark), but why another, then another, then another . .
What’s your thinking, Ash?
Greenasheville-
Your comments are inane and idiotic on any forum. Why dont you keep the hatred to yourself?
anyway you like it…
Feces of trAsheville!
I’m sure Gordo will want to give him a celebrity blowjob as an elected "member" of trAshville Shitty Council. The trAsheville Burlesque 24 hour non-stop sex show welcomes you!
can I get his autograph? – not!
you people really are pathetic. Paris Hilton of the South! I think trAsheville should be re-named Papparazzi chaser!
I think Zach is one of the funniest comedians performing right now. Maybe he’s not for everyone, but who is? The commercially marketed comics who are sterilized for mass consumption only end up pandering to shitty audiences in Vegas (Carrot Top), cramming shows like "Marriage Ref" down our throats (Seinfeld, of course), or playing hide-the-salami with Conan O’Brien and The Tonight Show (Leno, duh). I find Zack Galifianakis to be along the lines of John Belushi, Brother Theodore, Chris Elliot, and even Bobcat Goldthwait. He’s not trying to be topical or edgy… he’s more of an individual, fully realized character whose delivery is subtle, ridiculous, and sometimes bizarre. I guess if you don’t like that sort of humor, you won’t even appreciate people who are good at it. Personally, I *love* it, and I would be thrilled if he had a place in Asheville. I just enjoy knowing there are talented people in my midst, and that there is even a slight chance that their unique sensibilities might have an impact in my environment. I don’t know… maybe I’m just weird that way.
Hey Zach, wanna be roommates? I keed, I keed…
My husband and I saw him in the parking garage on Broadway….I wondered what he was doing here, but I guess that was a silly question. It’s Asheville 🙂 I’m a big fan of him so I wouldn’t mind seeing more of him out and about! I did do a double take b/c he is one of a thousand bearded men here.
He’s hilarious. And he does look like every guy in Asheville.
He stayed at the Residences at Biltmore this past Saturday, that place is top notch too. We ran into him in Biltmore Village. Really friendly and funny too.
Pat—he’s actually got some good movies in production and has great potential in comedy. Try not to hate on everything.
And yeah, he’s looking to relocate here.
I hear he’s looking for an apartment here.
Every dude in this town looks like him. I see 5 Zach Galifianakises every time i go out. Or is it galifianakii?
More like a very Minor celebrity or one hit wonder. I could care less about "celebrities". How lame.
Not much going on Ash to post this.
