Relevant threads
it gets raised in Dano's welcome back thread
First Official Discussion Thread
Possible Dates
Host's choice:
-
July 21-23
Alternates:
-
July 28-30 - August 4-6
That's it, the final and absolute date which is happening, that's the weekend, those are the dates. Yeah! - - - mygothlaundry (who is too much of a wikidiot to figure out how to make her editing name blue and cool stuff like that)
Hosts
mygothlaundry and moonbird are in residence.
Lodging Locations
Camping on mygothlaundry's property or sleeping on mygothlaundry's couch (sleeps two) or in one of the extra bedrooms since the kids can easily be kicked out for the weekend. We can accomodate 6 people besides mygothlaundry inside if somebody sleeps with mygothlaundry. ;-) If not, then 5. Room for several tents out back.
Also, Chateau Moonbird is available for your flopping plaisir.
Lodging Section of the Official Asheville Tourism Site
Transportation
Some East Coasters have raised the possiblity of a carpool, from either the Balto/DC area or the NYC area.
Expedia suggests alternate airports as Greenville (GSP-41 mi), Tri-City (TRI-72 mi), Knoxville (TYS-86 mi), and Charlotte (CLT-91 mi). (Any comments on the goodness/badness of any of these alternatives?) MGL sez: Greenville/Spartanburg is by far the closest & the easiest drive - like an hour, really pretty - and very often it's a LOT cheaper than Asheville, so be sure to check it.
Activities
omiewise has suggested rafting. Probably for free, if the time is right I can borrow a raft, and I've guided the river plenty. This also depends on rain. If it's too dry it isn't fun.
Google Links for rafting on the French Broad river.
If we went rafting we could also go to Hot Springs for a soak, it probably is not too expensive to rent a tub. (Update: it's about 15-20 per hour, BYOB, clothing optional).
A trip to Salsa restaurant for lunch! (Hector's place is still open, right? It's been two years since I went.) Update: Yes, still open. So many new groovy places, too.
I, Moonbird, also suggest a kickball tourney, hiking, debauching and dancing. I will take those interested for waterfall hunting and to the Biltmore E$state (I've got a year pass and usually can swing some kinda discount).
