Still don’t have plans for New Year’s Eve? Here are some ideas:
What’s worse than being stuck on a booze cruise in the freezing cold? Being stuck on a train. The Great Smoky Mountains Railroad is having a gala full of dining, dancing, live entertainment, and nauseating motion.
If you haven’t been paying attention there is a new venue in the area called White Horse Black Mountain. You can rock it americana style tonight with Barrel House Mamas and Dehlia Low. BHM are one of those bands that plays around a lot and we always say we’ll catch them next time. Well, we’ll catch them next time.
If you don’t feel like driving all the way to Black Mountain to see some roots music, Donna the Buffalo hits The Orange Peel for a second night with The Believers. Or you could join the Mountain Music Family Circus at The Grey Eagle with Larry Keel, Steve “Big Daddy” McMurry, Mad Tea Party and David Via.
The Asheville Chamber of Commerce has some other suggestions including lindy hopping and sophisticatedness. Mountain Express has some shoestring suggestions if you are a recently unemployed ACT staffer.
Our pick? If we had a magical transporter device, we’d be in Philly to see Gogol Bordello at The Electric Factory. Alas, we’ll be walking to The Admiral for a 4 course prix fixe dinner and drinking until they run out of liquor. There are two seatings and reservations are suggested.
We’ll see you on the flip side.
