The cover story continues to evolve:
“Well I was always going to come to be on the panel,” McCrory told News 13 seconds after he arrived at Asheville’s Aloft hotel. “But they thought it might add to the security costs due to the protesters and I didn’t want anything to disturb this event.”
Sounds like he’s saying he had a choice in whether he attended or not…

damn that’s thundercat and flying lotus. respect.
the 1% music fest
As a nearby resident and involuntary listener, the “celebrity DJ” music was horrible. Spotify on random likely would have been much better.
As someone said, ” Did they choose that music DELIBERATELY”?
So the Gov. just came to the party and had no problem speaking to any media outlet present? Something tells me it was a “f-you” to the protesters. Seems kind of slimy.
Of course it’s slimy. It’s Pat McCrory!
So much for his “scheduling conflict.”
“Apparently mayor Esther Manheimer personally called and invited to him to an exclusive pool party atop one of her law firm’s client’s hotels.
The news media were supposedly excluded.”
From: Asheville Stands Against Pat McCrory Facebook page…
WLOS actually interviewed him at the party. I saw the interview on my television.
Would love to hear their definition of “news media” if it excludes TV reporters.
just quoting a post…
Murphy, I don’t know who called whom. But the media was not excluded from the poolside party on the third floor of the Aloft Hotel. I had an invite, but I couldn’t make it until 7 p.m., and the governor was gone by then.
Unless Orbit is invited, it’s not a party. Jamie can brighten any room.
Not since Delilah cut all his hair off. He’s lost all his powers…

After all this, the Governor of North Carolina snuck into Moogfests “VIP” party?
I can’t believe the protestors didn’t think to set up roadblocks at every entrance to Asheville & search vehicles for smuggled Governors.
He’s scheduled to speak at the Grove Park Inn in a few minutes…
NC Airport Association Annual Conference…
Can the other barry “reply” to the other barry?
Look at my name. I’m nothing if not self-referential.
It would need to be the other, other barry
