I was new to Asheville. I had been living in Lake Toxaway, spending most of my time in a 7’x 9’ shed writing fiction and poetry and basically losing the ability to socialize normally. Then my partner took a hike and suddenly that shed, and the doublewide in whose shadow it set, became a little too lonely on the weekends. I began making the hour-plus drive in to Asheville to see what the local music scene had to offer and one of the first shows (or festivals) that I stumbled into was All Go West.
I was immediately overwhelmed. I was standing (well, dancing actually) in the parking lot of a gas station and there were hundreds of other people there getting down. There was no age group or race that was not represented. As I danced I watched an elderly black man with tufts of cottony white hair surrounding his bald head chat with a couple of 8-year-old girls about their sparkling bicycles. I watched professionals in button down shirts holding craft brews shoot the old bull off to the side. I watched a small gaggle of college girls in rompers and mini-skirts dance.
“Is this what Asheville is always like?” I wondered to myself, followed by a tinge of self-loathing and some major F.O.M.O. Blues (apologies to the Resonant Rogues). Had I been sitting in an alternately cold and hot shed, banging away on a keyboard for the last three years, with this just a hop-skip-and-a-jump away?
The truth is, All Go West is a big part of the reason I now live in West Asheville, and once again, I could not be more excited about the line-up. Featuring three stages and a perfectly balanced list of local and national performers this festival, run by Arieh Samson, promises to deliver cross-genre excellence once again.
With everything from world class hip-hop to klezmer punk this festival has something for everyone. In fact, one of the best things about All Go West traditionally, that will clearly hold true once again this year, is its ability to expose patrons to great music they would have never found or expected to like on their own. The combination of commitment to excellence regardless of genre, and the sommelier’s precision with which they pair bands and stages is truly second to none.
Stand-out combinations include Saturday night’s early blow out on the Roots Stage featuring West Virginia super-nova Big Mean Sound Machine followed up directly by Blackalicious’ own Gift of Gab collaborating and, presumably, going toe-to-toe with Asheville’s own Empire Strikes Brass at 8:45.
On Sunday that same stage will offer Les Amis at 4:15, followed by the highly talented Asheville musician Stephanie Morgan, who recently released her new solo album, Chrysalis, to critical acclaim. Then, on the Pisgah Stage at Isis Music Hall, All Go West gives us the perfect pairing to end the festival, The Digs at 7pm, followed by Jamar Woods Acoustic Band (Woods is the full-time keyboardist for local funk powerhouse, The Fritz) at 8:30.
In addition to the standout pairings there are tons of other great musicians playing including Woody Wood, Midnight Snack, RBTS Win, Doc Aquatic, The Forlorn Strangers, Matt Townsend, The Bald Mountain Boys, and many others.
Truth be told, Asheville really wasn’t all that close to Lake Toxaway, but this year, thanks in part to All Go West, I’ll be able to stumble home if I need to.
All Go West is Free and is happening on several stages across West Asheville on Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th.
Thank you for your kind words, Caleb. We read this aloud in the All Go West staff meeting yesterday evening and we are thrilled that you have had this experience with an event we work so hard on each year. This means a lot to us. Thank you.
RB Leipzig remain favorites for the Bundesliga title despite their defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, says Gladbach boss Max Eberl.
Borussia Mönchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl still sees RB Leipzig as favorites to win the Bundesliga title.
'Die Roten Bullen' remain top of the table despite Saturday's 2-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, but saw their lead cut to just one point.
But the fact that Julian Nagelsmann's troops lost one game doesn't change anything for Eberl.
"For me, RB Leipzig were already the biggest favorites because of their performances in the first half of the season and the qualities they have. And now, they have strengthened again," Eberl told 100% Bundesliga – Fußball bei NITRO, referring to RB Leipzig's signing of Dani Olmo from Dinamo Zagreb.
Speaking after Saturday's disappointing defeat, RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann said his team are "far from being a top team" and "not on the same level as Bayern and Dortmund".
But Eberl points out that 'Die Roten Bullen' went on an impressive streak after Nagelsmann said something similar following a 2-1 loss against Freiburg in October.
"When he said that, they went unbeaten through 13 games, almost winning each of them. He has the best feeling with his team and about how to deal with it."
Eberl and Gladbach face RB Leipzig away from home in the Bundesliga on Saturday.Q: Windows UWP - I am trying to create a unit test in VS 2017 that needs to access the local user I am trying to create a unit test in Visual Studio 2017 that needs to get the logged in user name. I have the permissions in my Unit Test project to allow access to user account information. I copied the permissions exactly from my production App. My production apps populates the username filed but the Unit Test app returns a blank user.

I see the r/politicalhumor botnet is running overtime

notice the top comment only has 422 upvotes but the post has 29k in under 5 hours

the OP is a dead account that hasn't made any significant posts other than this one for over 2 years

it's so obvious when someone is using bots to upvote a post yet nobody ever says anything?

 Like r/blackpeopletwitter has tens of thousands of bots upvoting random posts. You can't even post there unless you're black, the subreddit has under 10k active members, yet the posts get over 20k upvotes on a weekly basis. You must be blind if you haven't noticed it by now.Membership Breakdown. Which one is right for you?
If you visit the range more than 18 times a year, it is a good idea to get a “one year membership” for $349.99.
Example: 18 daily range visits = $360 vs $349.99 one year membership allows you to visit the range 365 days.
Let’s say you plan to go to the range only 1/4 of the entire year. That is about 91 days of out of 365 days. By purchasing a “One year membership”, you save $1,470.01.
1/4 days out of the year is about 91 days. 91 days x $20 daily range fee = $1,820 in daily range fee.
Here is another scenario. $349.99 / 12 months = $29.16 per month. Therefore even if you visit the range three times a month, you save $30.84. It would have cost you $60 for three visits in a month on a daily range fee.
Let’s say you went a quarter of the time of your membership, that is about 45 days. 45 days in daily range fee would be $900. Therefore, even if you visit the range a 1/4 of the time of the 6 month membership, you are saving $620.51.
If you visit the range 3 times a month, you save $25.01 vs the $20 daily range fee; which would end up costing you $60 for the 3 visits.
