Ashevillians

Waiting for us in Asheville, North Carolina was our old friend Topper “Top Ramen” Holiday and his ruckus crew of “AsheVillains”. After years of couch surfing at our place, it seemed we would finally have a chance to cash in some Topr Points and eat all his food, sleep in his bed, dump all our shit all over his floor, not do any dishes and spend all day watching crappy movies. Toppers lady and our gracious host, Kelly-Ann, had a fabulous feast awaiting us, and that night we went to the bar where she works and tried our best to show Asheville what photocar was made of. Topper and his Fist Family folks performed on stage and with the exception of a lost jacket and a stolen purse, things went pretty smoothly. The next morning we all agreed Asheville was worth a return visit, and came to the conclusion that any town where we didn’t get beat up, was a friendly town indeed.

The next day delivered two of our most promising photo opportunities yet. An authentic retired Mexican wrestler and his wife, and two backwoods boys showing their true American grit. We left Asheville the same way we left most of the towns we’ve visited, with a desire to stay longer, and then we were off to Baltimore and the final stage of our trip.

I see this site has remained as shit as it started. Here's looking forward to the Deliverance tribute shots. Although I'm picking the 'squeal like a pig' scene is more a weekend documentary for you folks.
