I’ve been to a lot of Gay Prides in my time….but ya know what? For me, this one was the best. It wasn’t the biggest or the most outrageous or even the most…gay. But it was full of love and full of joy and beauty and full of well…Pride. I was proud to be there. I was proud of my friends. And I was really, really proud of Asheville. So anyway…lots of super gay photos after the jump! (Warning: extremely happy and attractive people. May be disturbing for some viewers)
It’s only the first part of October and as far as the movies are concerned Halloween is upon us. Perhaps it’s in honor of the midterm elections—which certainly have all the elements of Halloween—but it seems that this is the most Halloween-centered October in living memory. Well, certainly the most in my living memory. Starting with the October 1 releases, there are no less than nine horror pictures slated to appear—like genii from the bottle—by Halloween. This doesn’t even take into account special showings and TV screenings. I’m not complaining, mind you, but it does seem unusual.
Even when he’s playing Merle Haggard covers on his 12-string acoustic guitar, it’s hard to miss Jay Peele’s knack for experimental sonic flourishes. Here, the recently Asheville-area arrival performs his original tune “Design” near the Vance Monument in downtown.
