Kick-off parties for the Asheville Blade!

by David Forbes June 17, 2014

UPDATED June 24: I’m happy to announce Miss Mousie & the Rigmarole and Andrew J. Fletcher will play our June 29 shindig!

It’s been a busy first few months for the Asheville Blade, with investigation, in-depth analysis, sparking a major public dialogue, sharing powerful stories and pursuing a new way to support journalism.

The Blade’s come a long way already, so some celebration is in order as our contributors and supporters ready to take things to the next level.

Sign up to support the Asheville Blade on Patreon for $3, $10 or more and you’ll get free admission to not just one, but two excellent parties. While we’ll sign up supporters at both events, joining now means you can go straight to the party.

The Asheville Blade Birthday Bash — 7 p.m. Friday, June 27 at the Crow and Quill 

Join us for a slice of delicious birthday cake (and other goodies) from Short Street Cakes, as well as the Crow’s superb cocktails. Support local journalism and celebrate with some awesome people in a great setting.

The Asheville Blade Sign-up Shindig — 7 p.m. Sunday, June 29 at the Southern

Enjoy food and drink as the Asheville Blade thanks its supporters and signs up new ones. Music by Miss Mousie & the Rigmarole and Andrew J. Fletcher. Admission free for supporters, $5 at the door for all others.

We hope to see you there!
