Asheville=Heaven on Earth

BLIND BOY CHOCOLATE AND THE MILK SHEIKS..Live in Asheville. Yes, ladies and gentlemen Blind Boy Chocolate is playing the saw!!

Oh, Asheville....The mountains make me feel at home while the eclectic mix of characters make me feel like it's okay to be whatever and whoever I want. I understand why artists of all mediums flock to this creativity inducing valley that's tucked away right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. I love being surrounded with artistic free willed spirits who aren't afraid to express their opinions or their individuality. In this small city you'll often find white-collared professionals opening the door for tattooed and pierced, dirty smelly hippies. Simple acts of kindness such as this make me smile. People here lack the closed-minded judgmental mindset that I have found to be quite widespread across the southern states.

We stayed in an amazing hostel which was within walking distance from downtown.

We were swept away with the mountain air into a blissful state of semi-consciousness. The abundance of live street music forced us to stay up late and sleep in late too.

We explored downtown Asheville in the early morning followed by early afternoon beers which inevitability led to early afternoon napping which was then followed by.... you guessed it, more live music this time at a local Irish Pub and more beer!

We even caught a traditional Irish music session!
