It's that time again- the New Cosmic Band is playing at the Emerald Lounge on Lexington Avenue tomorrow night at 10. I'm super excited about this one, darlings... George and Andy Pond are taking the stage this time along with Silver Machine's Anthony Dorion and Dave Lee, and Jeff Knorr from Secret B Sides. If there's one show in Asheville you have to catch, this is it. Rumor has it that George and Andy are going to warm things up before the New Cosmic Band kicks off, and I'm hearing things about live art, hoopers, mystery guest vocalists, and all kinds of other magic. Intrigued? Be there.

Many companies in the Asheville area are hip to the new forms of media exposure. We are living in a day when if you are not on Facebook, you are pretty much non-existent. Not to say that you cannot have a business without Facebook; but I will assure you that you're losing your voice to a very large online community if you do not take advantage of this social network.

While online coupon services offering their followers daily saving of 50% and more on daily deals have been springing up across the country, Asheville residents have largely been ignored by such companies. However, this vacuum is about to be filled by a new online venture, uCoups.com, which will soon offer Asheville bargain hunters a daily discount deal featuring savings of at least 50% at a wide group of restaurants, health spas and beauty salons, recreational facilities and other establishments. Although most of the nation’s largest cities have one or more daily deal sites, for the most part, the concept has not yet reached smaller and medium sized cities such as Asheville. In announcing plans to launch its Asheville operation, the managers said “uCoups.com is striving to provide residents in Asheville with the same opportunity for online savings that have previously been available in larger markets.” The company also stresses that, in today’s turbulent economic climate, businesses participating in uCoups’ program of online daily deals will have a new risk-free marketing tool to help attract potential new customers. The motivating force driving uCoups.com and similar operations is that they assemble a large body of potential customers and place a highly discounted product or service before them from one specific business for a limited time, via daily e-mails to their subscribers. In essence, the merchant, who incurs no outlay of cash for this promotion, has ultimate control of the process since he can govern the number of units to be sold and can also specify the amount of the actual discount. Each offer is available only for a limited time, usually 24 hours. Likewise, individual consumers are free to select only those deals which appeal to them and incur no cost until electing to make a purchase that appeals to them. Each transaction is handled online with a certificate for the discounted purchase delivered the next day that can be used during an extended period, usually for six to twelve months from the date of purchase. Anyone interested in becoming a subscriber and receive notice of each day’s deal at no cost can enroll simply by visiting the company website at www.uCoups.com and submitting their e-mail address. The first of the Daily Deals should be forthcoming in the next few weeks. Businesses wanting more information about how they can participate in the program can contact Steve Heiselman at 828.216.4230 or by e-mail at steve@ucoups.com.
Cage fighting is nothing new. I remember years ago, going to Madison Square Garden in New York City to see the WWF Wrestling with Andre the Giant, Superfly Snuka, George the Animal Steele and many others. That was great entertainment at the time. Now, coming to Asheville North Carolina, are the Mixed Martial Arts MMA Cage Fights... and this is the REAL DEAL. Real fighters fighting and battling it out for the championship! Sugar Rashad Evans - a UFC, Ultimate Fighter and Gladiator winner is ready to fight for a new win at this event. Lots of people coming in from the surrounding cities to be a part of this. For more info, please see Black Eye Promotions.
