This Saturday, September 8, is our planning meeting for the Fall edition of “Day in the Life of Asheville.” We’ll meet at 4:00 at Asheville Brewing Company on Coxe Avenue to hash out the details.
For more information, visit our Flickr site and check out the photos from the spring DILOA event.
I’ve been totally caught up in posting photos for Day in the Life of Ashvegas. Here’s my slideshow. Here’s the photo group of everyone’s shots. Amazing, really, what a cool, talented, dedicated group of folks can capture in one short day.
My joy in my friends and this town has been sadly overshadowed by the horrendous event at Virginia Tech today. Our hearts ache…
More than 50 folks armed with cameras will be hitting the streets of Ashvegas in just a few hours for the “A Day in the Life of Asheville” project.

Please extend all possible courtesies to our photographers. See ya out there!
Vicki awarded me something called a “Thinking Blogger” award. I think I’m supposed to tag some of you as “Thinking Bloggers” and let you think about tagging some other bloggers. Which makes me think that soon every blogger in the blogosphere is going to be a “Thinking Blogger.” And you know that ain’t true. So, I’m not going to play. If you’d like to be a “Thinking Blogger,” you can steal the little button from her bloggie and say that I awarded you the honor.
So what am I thinking about? I’m thinking about lunch–leftover Thai food. Yum! I’m thinking about fricking window treatments for this silly series of articles I’m writing. I interviewed a local designer yesterday who said that she’s trying to get a second edition of a window treatment book published by our local pub house and asked if I would to like to help write and photograph it. The offer, while kind, made me vomit a little in my mouth, which I took to be a sign that I want nothing to do with window treatments after I file my last story next week. Either that, or my morning coffee was messing with my esophageal valve.
I’m thinking about DILOA–Day in the Life of Ashvegas, a very cool photo project scheduled for this Saturday. If you’re in the area and like to take photos, this is your chance to document the life of our town with close to 50 other photogs. It’s going to be a blast!
I’m thinking about how quiet my house is. I’m not going to tell you why, but it is. I’m thinking about how cool The Dixie Chicks are. I’m thinking about movies and beer. I’m thinking about my poor hostas and lilies that got spanked by the three days of freezing temps last weekend. I’m thinking about the fact that that freeze means I’ll be buying apples from Washington State instead of from North Carolina in the fall. And that makes me sad.
So what are you thinking about, all you thinking bloggas?
I’m in process of recovering from an afternoon and evening of hanging with a bunch of local photographers. We convened at Asheville Brewing Company yesterday to plan our Day in the Life of Ashvegas project. The project will be shot in 24 hours on April 14, 2007. So far, 27 photogs have signed up to contribute. The Asheville Library system wants copies of the photos for its North Carolina photo archives and has offered wall space for a related show at their West Asheville branch. Hurrah!
For photos of our get-together yesterday or to sign up to be a part of DILDO, go here.
In addition to planning, I got to meet some wonderful folks and catch up with some old buds. I got to meet the sexy young Ashe-villian, who just happens to work as a kid sitter (see post below proving that sometimes, if you ask, she will come). I got to meet other photogs whose amazing work I admire, such as zen and fellowsfog (see DILDO group. I’m feeling too tired to hyperlink all the flickerites). I got to catch up with bloggas Fliss, Mark, Chris, Huw, Jeremy and Ash. I got to commune with the Magic 8 Ball and drink some of my favorite local brew.
Now I’m going to go sit in the dark with Daniel Craig at Asheville Pizza Company and have a bit of the hair of the doggie!
