I was downtown last night thinking about how crappy the world is, and how it sucks double because my favorite band, Rilo Kiley, was playing at the Orange Peel and it was sold out so I couldn't go see them. There were lots of people out and I was just people-watching. Asheville is a pretty strange place and not everyone is as smart as they think they are. Here is the gist of a conversation I heard between three girls:
Girl #1: Ohmigod! You should never eat shark-fin soup!
Girl #2: Ewww! what?
Girl #1: I saw this documentary-type thing about how they make it and it's so mean. Over in China they catch these sharks on boats, then they cut their fins off and throw them back in the water. I mean, it's basically like taking a human, cutting of their arms and legs, and throwing them in the ocean and saying "screw you!" It's not different at all. Sharks are mammals like us! Wait...sharks give live birth right?
Girl #2: Yeah.
Girl #3: Yeah...
Girl #1: Ok, yeah, so they're mammals too! See what I mean! It's just like cutting off a person's arms and legs and letting them drown!
Yikes.
Somehow this guy named Critter started talking to me and mentioned that he was going to the Rilo Kiley but he didn't really know the band or anything. I was completely jealous and urged him to hurry up and get over to the Orange Peel since the show had started. He left.
Then about ten minutes later he comes back and hands me a ticket. A ticket to see a sold-out Rilo Kiley concert at the Orange Peel on a Friday night. They were amazing. The place was packed and they played a lot of their old and new songs. Completely incredible!
My faith in humanity is restored.
On a slightly unrelated note, I was driving on Patton Ave. today coming from downtown and a guy completely rear-ended me. I've never been in any sort of car accident before.
I gasped out loud, and saw the guy in my rear-view mirror with this terrified look on his face. He was a Hispanic man with a girlfriend in the passenger seat who looked slightly amused.
I got out of my car and he was still silently freaking out. He probably didn't have insurance. There was a big white mark all along my bumper but it wiped right off so I just shrugged and said "Alright" and got back in my car. The look of relief and horror on his face was almost worth it. He pulled off into a parking lot, I assume to get his bearings and listen to his girlfriend fuss him out. Poor guy.
Drive careful everyone. Not everyone is as cool as I am. :-)

Ha! I saw your thank you on Craigs List last week (I read the Missed Connections because sometimes they are so sweet) and (of course) didn't know that was you till I saw your Flying Saucer on flickr, and followed your link to your blog, 'cause I had to know the whole story about the sandwich-thingy.
Turns out Asheville ~IS~ really that small of a town. I've met Critter before too.
Now I'll have to check out Rilo Kiley.
I saw that post on Craigslist too, but that wasn't me. I posted the one called "You are Horrible People" (removed) and one in the Apt. section called "RENTERS!"
But yes, Asheville is a very small town!!
Ha! Two people were gifted with Rilo Kiley. How...Strange.
I did read "You are Horrible People." But you are letting the word out on who you are now.. The secret's out.
Where are your DILOA shots?
Hi Lauren,
It's a couple of hours past Thanksgiving. I don't even know now how I stumbled across your "French Press" video which led me to your shop and then to your Flcker page. So, here it is 2:00 a.m. and I had to see every one of your photos before I could navigate away from that site. You are very, very talented.
Anyway, it's fun to peek into the world of gifted people.
I have a rather lame blog at

Drop by and say Hi.
