The comments and reviews have been pouring in at the breaking news that Ashvegas is joining forces with Mountain Xpress. Here’s a sample:

Citizen-Times flabulous columnist John Boyle:

Good luck in your new gig, Pretty Boy. To clarify for my Mountain X journalistic brethren, Jason may have taken a few liberties with my quote, such as, um, never actually interviewing me…
But hey, he knows me well enough to put words in my mouth. Let’s get together soon and knock down some serious sheetcake.

Gordon at Scrutiny Hooligans, blogga extraordinare:

RAWK! Let Jason’s eagle soar.

Former WLOSer and general hottie Suzanne Hudson Sikes:

Congratulations to Jason and Mountain Express, and condolences to the Citizen-Times. Jason is an outstanding reporter, and while this is a major loss to a major medium in Asheville, I’m grateful that he’ll continue to use his talents here in the mountains. Asheville’s a better place because Jason keeps his eye on it! P.S. … I didn’t get a cake either!
