Sights and Sounds Sixty-Eight

So we spent the weekend in the mountains in Asheville, N.C., for Moogfest 2011. This was the second time they held it in Asheville and it was our second year attending. It did not disappoint. We rented a condo in heart of the town within walking distance to all the venues. The main attraction for me this year was Moby. I had been wanting to see him live since the first time i heard the song "Go" on a compilation CD back in the early 90's. There were quite a few other bands that we were eager to see including M83 and Crystal Castles and with the festival being on Halloweeen weekend again there was always a lot of great "people watching" to do.

Moby was amazing. He was very charismatic. Almost preacher like as he got the crowd going. People were going bat shit crazy.

The Saturday night the Crystal Castles played and there were some pretty amazing halloween costumes around. Dusti found herself dancing with Aliens at one point.
The Flaming Lips also blew people away with their show.
Here's Dusti and the Aliens.



We headed to Brevard to see Simon and Mike on Sunday. We took the Blue Ridge parkway. The colours were pretty awesome.

And here's Looking Glass Falls.

Overall the weekend was fantastic. Asheville is a really cool place and the festival was brilliant. We are certainly looking forward to next years!
