blogging to myself

Jump to Comments

Well I’m told I’ll be blogging to myself for a while… but I don’t seem to have a problem talking to myself, so this should be easy.

Raucous Rooster is an idea I dreamed up one day last summer. I discovered the super popular e-newsletter Daily Candy (www.dailycandy.com), and thought Dany Levy’s ingenious e-zine formula might be put to use informing people about something more interesting than a $500 Yomo handbag. Asheville, in my estimation, is much more interesting than an overpriced purse.

This is a blog, I realize, not an e-newsletter. But blogs are free, thus the evolution of my idea.

So it’s my intention to ruminate about Asheville and surrounding areas… breathtaking hikes, strange sights, cars plastered with 17 bumper stickers (and the awful drivers who steer them), local characters, spicy food, my failing effort not to acquire a southern drawl, cool artists, superior small businesses, a little Asheville history… whatever seems relevant (and probably plenty that isn’t). Hopefully, somewhere along the line, someone reading this will think Cool, I never heard of that before.

Peace.
