"Asheville is going topless again."

Asheville is going topless again.

The website Gotopless.org lists Asheville as one of the cities that will have a topless rally on Aug. 26, which it notes is Women’s Equality Day. The start time is 1 p.m. in Pack Square Park, according to the site.

Last August, organizers held a topless rally Pack Square that drew dozens of women who bared their breasts. A considerably larger crowd of onlookers came downtown to witness the event.

Can't wait!

Lets sing this to the tune of "Funky N.A.S.A", if anyone can remember that one.

It would go something like this:

"Ashville's got toplessness, Ashville's got soul"
"mini skirts, open shirts and sexy paint jobs.."

OK, I tried...:)

And we'll probably need to put a pic or two up here to keep this thread from going under..

Great news. The Ashville event was without question the most successful edition of the GoTopless protests by wide margin. In this context, "success" meaning number of pretty girls.

It doesn't seem like this event is getting franchised as quickly or successfully as the WNBR or the sl u walk. But then again, maybe their website is just not staying up to date on all the walks happening. For example, they list only nine American cities having walks, but I know there are more than that (Portland and Seattle are not listed for example).
So, I don't know - in any case, who would expect Ashville to have a major protest, I mean, you don't hear of too much else coming out of that town. But you never know. Anyway, maybe I can get to the Portland walk this year - if so, where should the pics go as this thread would have to be renamed maybe if they go here.

Awesome. I would like to try to make it over to that. Last year's pics and videos were great. I'm just afraid that it will draw in a certain element from the surrounding countryside that will ruin the festivities, and I don't want to be counted amongst those masses.

And Klondike, Asheville is probably the most liberal city in the southeast, outside of maybe Key West. (That's not really saying a lot, though.) Lots of activists, hippies, and other types along those lines. So yeah, if I hear about a protest there, it's no big deal. If any city in the former CSA would do something like this, it would be them.

yeah, this is actually true - I've been there and had a friend from there once. it was a cool town, nestled among all those mountains. And she was kind of hippiesh - we'd go down to the organic food store and you could tell a lot of hippies had moved to town from New York, other cities, etc...and I remember the Biltmore, too....

you'll never hear me putting down the CSA :) In some ways its more liberal there than the current San Diego or LA! And if Texas was also part of the CSA, you'd have to mention Austin - I mean, there are hardly ANY towns in the US, CSA or otherwise, that get naked like Austin!
