***Unbelievable. I'm finally posting another entry***
This Friday, Ashley, our friend Taylor Moran, and I will be heading to up to Sylva. The purpose of the trip is to go to the Hootie & The Blowfish concert at Harrah's Cherokee Casino on Saturday night. I've been a huge HBF fan since 1994, and the chance to see them playing near my hometown couldn't be passed up. Taylor has been quite a fan as well, and since he hasn't had a chance to see them in a few years, he's pumped. Ashley, who wasn't a big fan before we met, has mercifully given in to my attempts to prove to her that they are the best band ever, and is now a true, die hard, singing-every-lyric fan just like myself.
I'm a little weary of how the show is going to be, however. Since the general Harrah's Cherokee crowd is quite different from the average HBF crowd, I'm not sure what the vibe is going to be like. This, combined with the fact that they don't serve alcohol at the casino, could certainly produce a sit-on-your-hands type crowd. I know Ashley and I will gladly be the only ones standing and singing the whole time if we have to be, but I certainly hope it doesn't have to come down to that. I think I'm going to go in with low expectations so that I have the chance of being pleasantly surprised.
The trip will also give us the opportunity to see the Sylva clan, although our time with them will be somewhat limited compared to other trips up there. Part of our Saturday will be spent in Asheville at the Rockin' Riverfest. We plan on meeting up with my old friend Bo Carpenter and his fiancee, Megan Apple.
On Sunday, we MAY stop by the Eagle's Rest Hillclimb (a car race up the ski resort's access road) in Banner Elk on our way home.
It will be a busy weekend, but should be a blast.
