Blog Log: The week in local blogging

So here we are, one day after Christmas, and not many of you have returned to your computers yet.

Maybe everyone is still reeling from too much egg nog, though both Amateur Cocktail Guy and Year in Asheville seem to think there’s no such thing.

Some of you had your own holiday wishes to pass on, including this one from Nice Marmot and this one from Reason Online. And Ukulele Rockstar wrote this little number.

Meanwhile, Santa is picking up on new tech, and Edgy Mama kept up with his midnight flight via Twitter. But, as George the Bastard can attest, it’s a good thing Santa doesn’t use TomTom.

And Bird on the Moon wants you to remember that someone special was born on Dec. 25, wrapped in a fedora and trench coat.

While we have you, a couple of weeks ago, we showed you what Portland thought of our vegan reubens, beginning a blog-look at what others are writing about us from outside the Asheville bubble. This week, we bring you this rundown that comes from the folks down in Key West via Conch Scooter.

Next stop: New Year’s Eve. A Blog Log request: Take lots of pictures, folks.

Before you comment

The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
