13. Will, are you coming to Raleigh-Durham

???? Asheville is grand, but you'd get more exposure over here in the Piedmont.

26. Once again...WHERE in Asheville?

Hi Asheville! I grew up in your pretty city and my great-grandfather helped build the Biltmore Estate as did most of the people back then. Yea, so big deal, I know.

[HFishbine]

27. Asheville will be great!

Hey, don't knock Asheville (wink). They have a large and very active progressive population. They protested the war heavily and I'm sure Pitt and they will find thier time together mutually inspiring.

[Bozola]

17. ...and Seattle - Elliott Bay Book Store

[WilliamPitt]

18. Yup n/t

[WhataBildeberger]

I've got a cold beer with your name on it when you hit Chapel Hill. Our local DU contingent should be able to show you a good time while you're here.

[WilliamPitt]
