Asheville Kilt night

A question for you Asheville guys. Where would be a good place to park for the show that night? Thanks for the info.

Mithral, I'll be happy to buy you a beer if that helps.

JB, the best parking is directly across the street in the bank parking lot, but you'll need to be there early. Access to Jack's is also easy from Wall Street, which is the street behind the pub. Just walk through the restaurant called the Laughing Seed. Parking usually loosens up in that area, and around the Grove Arcade building, about 5:00 as most of the local businesses close then.
Parking is a bit of a challenge in Asheville. Come early and be prepared to walk a bit. But, hey, there's nothing like stolling around downtown Asheville in a kilt...you'll not be the most unusually dressed person there, I guarantee!

Also remember that Jack's serves great food. Another good reason to get there early.

I'll see if my friend is interested, hopefully he'll have recovered by then.

Indeed! I'll be at Jack's this Sunday as well...actually I've been going pretty much every Sunday evening for the Celtic jam (5-9 PM), and I've yet to be the only kilted gent there. Come on over...the first pint's on me!

Wow, I just checked the Jack of the Wood web site and Rathkeltair is going to be there on the 28th!

The ETH show on the 19th starts later, doesn't it? My wife doesn't get home from work til around 5:30, so it will be 7 or after before we can get there. As far as the Rathkeltair show, since Monday the 29th is a holiday, a Sunday night show sounds very inviting!

Well bugger.

I may not be able to make it out to kilt night, ever. Seems I've done something to offend the manager who makes our schedules at my new job, and she's scheduling me to close on the nights that I specifically listed I could not close, namely Sunday and Friday.

I'm going to go and talk to her about this, but looks like I'm going to be there until midnight next Friday.
