Blog Log: The week in local blogging

Posted on by Brian Postelle

This week caught a lot of us looking up, and not just in an optimistic way. Someone used evil magic to block out the moon and Where Words Live got a great shot of it.

But we may still be deep in this flu thing, as documented by The AsheVillein.

Though it’s not quite the bowling match we hoped for, Gordon at Scrutiny Hooligans had some sort of “intimate encounter” with Asheville City Council member Bill Russell, then hit us at the last minute with this news.

On the theater front, maybe we should be more like George the Bastard and try out our improvisational abilities writing and performing abilities with the Feral Chihuahuas. And if this post at Virtual Inanity means what we think it means, we’re wettin’ our pants.

And look at that, we made it to the weekend. Time to make like a haiku, then make like another haiku.

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 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.
