Early Girl Eatery Gets Down for Bob Moog’s birthday

In celebration of Bob Moog, the Bob Moog Foundation and Early Girl Eatery joined together and threw quiet the birthday bash on Wednesday, May 23. There was synth music by Marc Doty, a raffle and delicious food, of course. Early Girl donated 20 percent of restaurant profits to the Bob Moog Foundation. The restaurant was buzzing with conversation about the musical innovator, Moog, and the foundation that shares his ideas with the world. Here are some photos from the party.

Mardi Gras in the Rain

The Asheville Mardi Gras Parade kicked off the party on Wall Street Sunday afternoon. Everyone in the parade was dressed from head to toe in colorful outfits. The streets were filled with dancing and cheering despite the drizzling rain. The theme of this year’s celebration was “The Royal Wedding.” There were “Royal Wedding Bridesmaids” with crazy hats, masks and beads, and even a real wedding. John ‘Hobbit’ Hawes and Tamra Fountain tied the knot and waved to the crowds from the top of a wedding cake parade float.
