Pack your bags

I'm afraid we've made one too many visits to Asheville.

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to check out Belle Cher - the grandest arts/crafts/music festival of them all. It was huge. There were so many different people out there. Israel kept pointing out the future versions of Beth and I (ratty old hippies with three or four kids all clothed in homemade clothes). Art and artist were the norm. If you had to put Ashevillites in a box, it would have to be a big box.

Beth and I just feel like we belong much better in Asheville than in Bristol. There's nothing wrong with Bristol. It's just that our experience is we run into more people of like mind in Asheville than around here.

So seeing how some of our best friends in the world are moving from Gainesville to Asheville within the next year, we're going to pack it up too. The house is going on the market in a week or so, we're putting on our moving hats, and we're going to head that way.

Our plan/dream is to buy property outside of Asheville (Marshall?) and live in some sort of modular/yurt while we build a little farm. If we're lucky enough, we'll be doing this with our buddies from Gainesville.

So let it be written, so let it be done.
