I arrived downtown around noon and got in line to purchase my wristband for the days events. Walking towards the Asheville Civic Center this guy could be seen in the distance and later I would find that his buddies could be found hanging out around downtown.
The line was small and I was grateful realizing I had arrived a few hours before the main music venues arrived. I got through the line quickly and with wristband and daily maps and book of activities in hand I was set to go.
I decided to start the day at the Moogplex located in the Haywood Park Hotel and found a crowd already gathered to listen and experience playing one of this man's amazing creations.And of course on the way in I saw this guy lurking above checking it all out.
Looking at the venues offered before the music started I headed down to the Fine Arts Theater to check out this film as a part of Moofgest and I highly recommend you see it when it comes to the theater near you. Of course along the way I see these two guys checking me and Asheville out.
As I was about to enter the theater of course what do I see but -yes once again - this guy!
So curiously I enter to see what this film could possibly be about and boy was I amazed and I highly recommend it. Check out the trailer..and see it as soon as you can! I was blessed and grateful to see the whole film as part of Moogfest!
Bouncing Cats
I was blown away emotionally along with the packed audience and this set my mood for the day!
I exited the theater with sniffles and a bit of a happily tear stained face I am sure and continued my journey.
I was excited about what the day had in store. Discovering and reliving some of the music I had heard using Moog's instruments as well as witnessing two new ones that were being unveiled here in Asheville. It is magical here and events such as this just add to it! Ahh one more reason to love and explore Downtown Asheville!
