http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-z-danielewski/why-im-not-going-to-ashev_b_9824946.htmlOne of my favorite writers cancelled his recent visit to Asheville, NC because of all the B.S. laws. And while he admits he's not a big name like Bruce, he still had to make a statement.
What followed were loads of comments from people living in Asheville, stating they not only oppose the laws but are fighting to get them removed (Apparently, the book store he was going to visit is a major site for meetings about the law).
I honestly hope this is true. My parents are planning to move to Asheville in a few years when they retire and we might follow. I'd personally prefer MA or PA, but NC looks to be the farthest I can move north and stay with my work. If it is true, then I'm glad the people in NC or at least in Asheville are more open-minded than the those in charge.
