  1. It’s going to be a great weekend here in Asheville. We’ll be exploring this state-of-the-art electronic music tool with the inventor and other top innovators and musicians, surrounded by great restaurants, world-class breweries and a vibrant arts and nightlife scene. This is the kind of thing I live for.
