Greenville Roll Call

sctt_perry

Just got my email. Won Gville and Columbia for the first time ever I'll be only driving 5 minutes to a PJ show

MedozK

So, this will be my first time to Greenville. Any certain hotel that we should book, or is just staying downtown good enough?

JojoRice

The wife and I will be there! We'll be coming from Atlanta. This will be our first PJ show!!! Can't wait!! Already booked the hotel too.

If you are into cycling, George Hincapie, has a hotel/resort north of Greenville in Travelers Rest (about 20 mins north going toward Asheville). Asheville has a lot of hotels including the Biltmore but is about 45-60 mins north of Greenville. Asheville is little more "crunchy" resembling parts of the NW by population of homeless. Nevertheless, it is a pretty cool place. Greenville more cosmopolitan/international and clean.

Really appreciate all these tips. I'm excited to visit a part of the country that I have never been to (outside of South Florida which I don't think is a representation of the true south). Since we are flying the red-eye and getting in really early, I think we'll head to Ashville for a few hours, have lunch and make our way to Greenville once we can actually check into our hotel on Friday. Restaurant and Bar/Brewery tips are also greatly appreciated!

Hit Oskar blues in Brevard. It's right outside of pisgah national forrest which is my favorite place. Sierra Nevada is in Mills River also. You could probably skip Asheville there's really not a whole lot to it just really crowded

I live in Asheville. Try Green man, wicked weed, catawba, Asheville brewery all located on the South slope. If time make trip out to Sierra Nevada.

Sierra Nevada is outstanding beer, especially their Torpedo Double IPA

Pantherfan09

That's a great beer. I also like the freak of nature at wicked weed. I always want to call it the force of nature. lol

The wife and ill be carpooling with friends from ATL....STOKED!!!!!!!!!!

Green Disease Redux

Coming up from Canada, I know everyone is still celebrating or depressed from today's lottery but I didn't win and am looking for an extra ga ticket if anyone has one?

That's nonsense.

Actually te best beer places in Asheville (which is definitely a top 5 place for beer and te fact you can walk to many make sit close to #1) is:

1) wicked weed - hands down
2) Funkatorium - 2nd WW location - if you like Spurs
3) Burial - they have been killing it
4) Greenman

A couple of other decent ones is One World (I think that's it's name) and hi-wire. Oh and for beer bars, Thirsty Monk (get the pint of bacon app).

I'd book something off main downtown it's a pretty cool street and falls park is awesome

helpslipfranklins

Hey now! Won GA, so see you all there!!!!! Good luck to those still waiting

Booked my flight from Wisconsin to Asheville and will be meeting up with my two brothers who I don't get to see very often. Only issue is we are 1 GA ticket short. If by chance anybody has an extra GA i would gladly (and very thankfully) buy it off your hands.

Dude if someone was coming up here for a day you'd tell them to bail on pisgah for Asheville. Wicked Weed is awesome but if you're on a time crunch than that's a lot of time driving finding parking and dealing with drum circles

I am a patriot

Wife and I both won Reserved. Family of three may have an extra one come April. We may also need to swap if the tax filing season doesn't cooperate. The plan is to see you all on 4/16.

Drdeal

Won Greenville and MSG2 Reserved! Driving to SC from NJ.

Andrew

PJfanOK
