'Round here every little burg has one of some kind. An apple festival, a sweet tater festival, a 'mater festival, and on and on. Most have a local bluegrass band playing.
Something good on the grill. Local crafts and stuff (DILLIGAF about that?).
I did Bonnaroo a few years in a row.
Rothbury this summer.
Somehow, Asheville, NC is only 45 minutes from me. I made it to Warren Hayne's Christmas Jam (NOT a summer festival but a goodun just the same), but I've never made it to Bele Chere - Asheville's Biggest Summer Festival
Perspective - I'm in the more affordable, arguably less cultured, definitely more conservative area here in East TN. Asheville is neo-hippie, pretty expensive, and has a more laid-back feel.
I enjoyed the Wailers earlier this month. Stephanie's Id is OK, Mrs. Rogue likes 'em. The weather will be perfect. If I ride the bike there instead of driving, parking is much better and, if it sucks, we can hit the Blue Ridge Parkway for a nice cruise.
Edit: The Wailers are on now, won't be seeing them.
But, we're lazy. And usually broke. And poorly motivated. WTF?
Any of you hillbillies gonna be in Asheville tomorrow?
