RiverLink Earth Day

Decorating rain sticks at RiverLink Earth Day

Happy belated earth day everybody!   RiverLink had their own celebration on Saturday afternoon.  We had a craft table (manned by yours truly), a rain barrel clinic and electronics recycling.  The event was pretty well attended and, according to the number crunching done today, a successful fundraiser!   

5,000, please!

Get it while it's hot!  I just placed an order for 5,000 of these puppies (ie static stickers). 

The more you know.

My boss handed me this today after he found it in his office.  Apparently, not too long ago, there was a preacher named Robert E. Harris that would ride around Asheville on horseback spreading the gospel.  He was a Circuit Rider, the name given to traveling preachers during the 18th and 19th century.  Harris carried a bible and handed out religious pamphlets (like the one above) to everyone he met.  He is believed to have been the last Circuit Rider in the United States. I find the whole thing very fascinating.  If you do too, read more here.  The story of Robert E. Harris was big enough to make the LA Times in 1992.

Fitz & the Tantrums

Ella and I just saw Fitz & the Tantrums perform at the Orange Peel tonight.  It was an amazingly fun show and a great way to start off the week.  If you ever get a chance to see them live, it's a must!  They aren't just talented musicians, they are phenomenal PERFORMERS.  Worth all $5 I spent on the ticket.  It won't be long 'til they are selling out every show.  They are VH1's  "You Outta Know" artist for April and were just on Jay Leno April 5th.  The recognition is well deserved!  

Thanks for the dance party!

Poster Design

I just entered a poster design contest for an upcoming Asheville event--The Mountain Sports Festival.  I don't think the winner is chosen based on the number of votes it gets, but you can vote for my design here (if you want).
