november events

the asheville community calendar is moving here! myspace/facebook in general is a total clusterfuck and neither are very direct.   so we hope this is a page that doesn't require you to spend an hour or two staring at the computer or delving into weird artificial social networking stuff.  we all need to leave our houses more anyway. the facebook is still there, the myspace probably won't ever be updated  & you can  get in touch with us by email:  ashcomcal@gmail.com
