Wow. It's been a whole year since Karli and I wrote anything about our epic adventure. After much deliberation this summer I decided to move down to Asheville, NC with my dear friend and former college roommate, Erin Paradis. Erin got a ceramics residency at a place in town called odyssey and I needed a change from the small New England town of Mystic, CT. Everyone else was leaving anyway and I had a suspicion there was something else out there for me. So I took a chance, and here I am. I've been here since September trying to figure the town out, see as many live shows as I can and find my place in the huge art community that exists here. I have two kitchen/cook positions at completely opposite places. The first is in the famous Biltmore Village where all the rich old couples come to spend way too much money on food and fashion while visiting "America's Largest Home." I wear a chef coat and make sandwiches and salads for people. The other job is at a little market on the west side of town (where I live) which has your local organic produce and basic groceries where all the young families come for their eggs and milk and wine. I wear whatever I want and make sandwiches and salads for people. I will try to share experiences regularly accompanied by my photographs of this gorgeous place. Enjoy y'all!
