Couple notes folks may want to know or find in one thread.... Feel free to add anything noteworthy.
_________________________________________________
Weather forecast for around 7:00pm: 40 degrees, slight breeze and 50% chance of rain. (guess that means it might rain, it might not. lol)
Early entry for 30 lucky ticket holders at 7:00pm
Early entry for Thomas Wolfe ticket holders at 7:30pm
Entry for general admission at 8:00pm
Venue is standing room only for the floor and seated on 2nd floor balcony per venue box office for this event. Be aware, NO ONE SITS DOWN ON THE 1ST COUPLE ROWS OF THE BALCONY. If you want an unobstructed view of the stage, sit higher up than the first 3 rows on the balcony. Our crew will be dancing on the first row of the balcony somewhere and we will not be sitting so you can see. Avoid the headache now, you've been warned if you are a sitter at an TAB show.
NO COAT CHECK. I recommend stowing your jackets in the gates around the sound board. (or in seats if up top)
Opening acts: estimated start time 9:00pm : Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside, Langhorne Slim & the War Eagles
Venue has full ABC permits and makes a great Makers/ginger.
Bars/restaurants near venue:
The Bier Garden - food and drink
Flying Frog Cafe - food & drink
Athena's - bar
Jack of the Wood - food & drink
Zambra - tapas and wine bar
Asheville Yacht Club - food & drink
College St Pub - pub & grill
Thirsty Monk - Great beer pub

Barley's is serving food till 1am. head down haywood, left on patton, rt on biltmore. 42 biltmore.
Asheville Brewing Co @ 77 Coxe Ave is walking distance. Go down haywood, rt on college, rt on patton, left on coxe. 77 coxe.
Early Girl closes @ 9. Rosettas @ 11 (heady vegan options).
Rosettas head up flint, rt on cherry, rt on broadway. 111 broadway.
12 Bones Smokehouse is closed, so don't get your hopes up!
And the only think you should put in your whiskey, is whiskey.
Get to Asheville EARLY. When Phish played, they practically had to close most of the roads into downtown. With the conglomeration on TAB, Toubab @ the OP, Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band @ the Em. Lounge, & Brittany Reilly @ Ol. Fairview So. Kitchen, as well as any restaurant/bar parties, it may get a little congested.
They have already posted road closings. For sure give yourself time to walk to the venue, because parking is always short close to the venue.
