Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
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.
Geektastic!
That’s enough insight into the human experiment to keep me fueled for the day. Thanks for the fotos!
I’m noticing a distressing lack of Marvel character cosplay in these photos. A Spider-Man and a Doctor Strange are no match for the Green Lantern, Nightwing, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl and the Flash. That’s like two part-time members of the Avengers versus most of the Justice League.
Nice to see the 101st out in force ….
You know it is a fairly sad commentary on your choice of “outfit” when you dress up as Superman and stand next to Gordon Smith and he looks like he could kick the crap out of you.
Gordon Smith’s taste in music has effects on the Man of Steel that are more horrible than Kryptonite.
