Hey Jason,

Not that you have any lack of news to blog about with Moogfest going on, but we did have a celebrity pay Asheville a visit yesterday.

Damian Lewis of the showtime ‘Homeland’ show as well as ‘Band of Brothers’ dined at Mela last nite.

He liked the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer and the seafood aviyal. He and his camera man were in town just for the day taking a break from shooting ‘Homeland’ somewhere an hour east from Asheville. He’s British and Indian food is one if his favorites.

Wonder if he knew about Moogfest?… Maybe he’ll be back this weekend.

Damian Lewis and Anoop Krishnan (Mela’s owner). I’ll leave you to guess who’s the Brit and who’s the Indian 😉

Best Jen
