Yet more New Year’s Eve parties!
Xpress has an extensive roundup of New Year’s Eve events in the Dec. 29 issue (if you’re in downtown Asheville, you may even be able to find it on newsstands as early as this evening) but here are more options, including early events (French Broad Brewery, French Broad Chocolate Lounge), a two-venue event put on by Asheville FM, an underground music explosion, and a dinner-plus-party at Pack’s Tavern.
Cranky Hanke’s Weekly Reeler Dec. 29-Jan 4: OK, wanna try Christmas week again?
It’s quite possible that there’s an unexpected benefit to the fact that nothing new opens this week. You know that white Christmas that Bing Crosby enthused over from a soundstage in sunny Hollywood 68 years ago? Well, as you might have noticed, we got it with a vengeance hereabouts. I admit it was picturesque, but it played havoc with Christmas moviegoing, causing early closings, power losses and something other than exciting attendance. Since it’s supposed to warm up and theoretically melt all this stuff, this weekend offers a chance to catch up with The King’s Speech, True Grit, I Love You, Phillip Morris and Black Swan. Of course, Little Fockers and Gulliver’sTravels are out there, too, but wasn’t being snowed in bad enough?
