Yeah, there’s an election coming up, and the usual suspects like Ashevillian and Chasing the Bread Truck are doing their thing to rally the troops for the Nov. 6 vote.
But in the blog world, there’s talk of other votes -— specifically the Mountain Xpress Best Of WNC issue.
Over at Pancho’s Via, those behind the band Sirius B sat up and took notice of their ranking as one of Best Bands You’ve Never Heard Of, and My Weaverville gave props to its hometown winners. Still in the spotlight is Ashvegas, who held forth on his selection as Best Blog.
And thanks to everyone who linked to our Best Of issue on line.

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.

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.
Wow. I had no idea I was a usual suspect. Don’t tell the cops, okay?
