Ain't heard of 'em. Maybe their dad's name is Bill.
You got the bug for sure petty. It happens to all us. All them downloads ought to keep you satisfied until the Peel.
I don't think they'll sell out until it gets a week out or so; I wouldn't be worried yet. Same with the room(s). I'll get us all fixed up somewhere where we can get a good deal, nearby, and can all party together.
Safe travels. Hope you don't have to swim.

I forgot...Stan, yeah you got me nailed; now if I could just find a way to make money at it instead of costing me!!
Brigzz...how could I leave out Barley's? It's the first place we have to go when we get to Asheville. My trophy wife is a beer snob, and they don't have Magic Hat down here. She looooves her some Magic Hat. Last year she hardly left room for me in the car cause we had so many cases. You're right dude, killer pizza at Barley's! Walking distance from the Peel.
I'm trying to get us a group rate. Who needs a room??
ROOM ROLL CALL
1. Clay and TW
2. Giggles and FireFly
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

magic hat #9 sucks. there, i said it. i know you don't get it down there and we've had this discussion many a times. its their most common yet their worst imo. well tied with Circus Boy. i recommend trying Roxy Rolles (winter seasonal), HIPA, Lucky Cat (good luck finding it), or Fat Angel. they have out their new Mardi Gras 12pk that has, you guessed it, 3-#9s, 3-Circus Boys, 3-HIPAs, and their mystery beer which they have used for like the past 3 or 4 variety packs. its actually pretty good too.
also if she likes the "apricot-y" taste of #9, tell her to try Pyramid's Apricot Ale.

Clay......I've never had the Magic Hat beers, but if your wife likes fruity flavored beers, you should have her try a Lambic. Lindemann's is a fine brand....they are wheat beers that have fruit added during the final stages of fermentation....available types Peach (Peche), Cherry (Kriek) and Raspberry (Framboise)......mighty tasty but I can only drink one or two of them as they are quite sweet. You can check them out here:

Tickets bought. Sorry I have been MIA from the board, craziness going on lately, but Mofro has been there through it all. So I am bringing a couple people to their first Mofro show at the Peel. I'm excited to see them let loose like they never have before. Sounds like we will have lots of people from the board there. Can't want to meet and see some of you guys again!

I'm behind on this thread...first off, dirtcracker, she's seen your comment. She's still trying to cool off. She grumbled sumthin about messing with her magic hat's fightin words.
No Stan, she's more into stouts, ales and shit. Actually I've had a couple different lambics at Barley's in Asheville that I found quite tasty. But I know what you mean about the sweetness too. Seriously dirtcracker, she's open to trying so she'll probly check some of them out.
Firefly, I'll have to remember to bring a bucket, er, I mean glass. Did you say you're buying all night? How sweet of you!!
briggzz I was starting to think you'd gone off one of them cliffs you got up there (we ain't got much for cliffs down here.) Great to see you again here!
Sunshine, I'm thinking maybe this whole gang--and any lurkers--ought to hook up ahead. What about Barley's? I know you like it briggzz, we do too.
They have there own brews, plus a huge selection of domestics and imports. And it's 5 minutes walking from the Peel. And there's a city parking lot across the street (that's priced as competitive or better than anything else around.)
Hey bpetty420 where u at? Must've been a long swim getting home.

FireFly's other comment got me to being a little creative at 2 this morning. Wrote me a song.
8 track man
8 track man
lives by the river
in a broken down van
8 track man
8 track man
listens to tapes
in a garbage can
8 track man
8 track man
musta got hit in the head
with a frying pan
Well...I guess it's more of a poem than a song. Maybe it's just the chorus; yeah that's it. I gotta work on the rest I guess.

I think you could drop those lyrics right over the music and have a hit!
I'm down for a meet up before hand. Gotta break my new friends in to the great fellow fans!

Thank you all for the warm wishes, it's breakin' my heart to miss out on a road trip/MOFRO show in one of my favorite cities, with my favorite group of folks & my favorite band.
Liz will represent O-town for me.

WHAT!? Let me talk to your boss right now. I'll straighten this shit out. Don't she know we're talking JJ Grey & Mofro here? Which part of that don't she get???
That royally sucks out the ass. We were soooo looking forward to hanging with you. I don't know why. We don't really like you. Perhaps it's the alien accent. Maybe it's the greenish glow you give off. Whatever it is, we were looking forward to it.
Let's talk offline and see if we can make something work where at least you ain't got to ride all the way up by yourself. Bus?
This sucks. Did I say that?
It's such a cool green. You come in so handy in the dark too.

Clay, awesome job on getting the group rate for rooms, too bad I already booked mine. I am definitely down to meet up at Barley's before the show to get our "mojo" right. The countdown has officially started - 5 days to go.

Yes she is.
The Florida crew for Asheville is getting smaller: me, TW, Liz, giggles. Wait...she lives in Philly. Damn, just 3 of us coming up Sunshine State (plus the cheesesteak.)
Okay...who's coming the farthest? I know somebody's coming farther than us'ns. Sunshine's brother actually is probly about 20 miles further than us.
TN_C we'll be seeing you at Barley's. That place is gonna be all Mofros. Does anyone know if they take any type of reservations for a section or group of tables or anything?
Hey giggles...you got the down to the second count??

Reservation for how many at what time? 4 of us are getting there by 7 at the latest, probably earlier. Will call today and see what the deal is. I assume everyone is eating as well? I don't think they take reservations but let's see what they can do

Silence of the Hams is actually our team name. I tried to copy/paste a photo to show the cool Tee design my hubby did, but obviously that is not how it is done. not sure how to do that here..... the front of the shirt shows a photo of Jody Foster with a rib across her mouth instead of a butterfly with the name Silence Of The Hams and the back reads "it puts the sauce on itself"
