After leaving the Books at Diana Wortham I went over to the Grey Eagle just in time to catch the last few songs of Jonathan Kane’s set. All five were onstage in a straight line, with Jonathan in the middle. They were absolutely wailing out some serious rock. Quite a change from the mellow pace of the Books. I was impressed.
More of Harvest Records’ Transfigurations. These pictures are from the Saturday evening show at the Diana Wortham Theatre. Villages opened, followed by Mount Eerie, and finally The Books.
These pictures are all from the late show at the Grey Eagle. Ice Cream opened up for Budos Band.
For their 5 year anniversary local Asheville record shop Harvest Records put on a 3 day music festival. My sister Rebecca arranged for me to attend the shows and take pictures for the local independent newspaper the Mountain Xpress .
It was my first time ever being commissioned to take pictures and it was a great experience. These are all from the first day at one of the best places to see live music in Asheville, the Grey Eagle.
The bands playing this show, in order of appearance, were:
Floating Action from Asheville, NC
The Coathangers from Atlanta, GA
Kurt Vile from Philadelphia, PA
Sunday we headed west to Dillsboro and rented tubes from Tuckaseegee Outfitters to float the Tuckaseegee River. Always a good time, even slightly low water didn’t dampen the fun. Apparently Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday are the days they release more water from the upstream dam.
An afternoon thunderstorm in Asheville, North Carolina.
We rented a raft from the Natahala Outdoor Center without a guide. I don’t know how long that has been an option, but most of the outfitters on the Natahala seem to be providing the service nowadays. They take you 8 miles up the river and you are in charge of navigating some class 2 and one class 3 rapid.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Masters of Tube, David Sulock, Dot Sulock, Scott Sharpe, Michael Sulock, and Rebecca Sulock.
A few pictures from the more mellow times at the lake. It was the first time our immediate family had all been together in a good while.
Just so you know, I just booked a flight into Philadelphia on December 20th and out of Asheville on January 3rd. Holla
I’m back in Bozeman after a visit to the East Coast. . It was a wonderful visit with the time going by very quickly. It was awesome to see my family and friends I hadn’t seen since Christmas.
Here are a couple of shots of the Sulock’s kickin’ it extreme on lake Chatuga in northern Georgia. .
Tubing rocks!

Here are a couple pictures of the Blue Ridge Parkway I took from the plane on the way to Bozeman. (I’m pretty sure this is the Blue Ridge Parkway, I don’t know what else it could be)
