We are all busy. Even in the best of times, it is challenging to keep up with everything you need to do. Now, we are regularly juggling working and learning remotely and ever-changing schedules while trying our best to keep ourselves and our families safe. It is enough to wear anyone out.
Are you tired? Are you stressed? Are you anxious about what’s going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month?

One great thing about living in the mountains is the weather. Despite our elevation, we do not have the extreme cold and frequent icy storms that towns like Boone experience.
At the same, we do usually get enough snow to take some nice pictures for social media.
Spring and Fall are majestic, full of the kind of vibrant colors that attract millions of people to visit the area. Even in the French Broad River Valley, our elevation is high enough to take some of the edge off of the heat and humidity.
Most summer evenings, the temperature drops below 70-degrees, so you can even open your windows some nights. However, it still does get hot during the day. Sometimes June, July, August, and September temperatures can climb over 90-degrees.
So, what can you do to beat the heat if you are already in the mountains?
This has been a strange year for college graduations.
While it was more normal than last year, many still found that they did not get to graduate in front of all the friends and family they would have anticipated being present.
At Off the Wagon Dueling Piano Bar, our hearts go out to all directly affected by the pandemic, but also those indirectly affected by not getting to fully enjoy some of the events for which they have worked for years.
As we have finally reopened safely and comfortably at Off the Wagon, this is the perfect location for your graduation party. Some of what makes Asheville great for graduations includes:
We have had a long hard year here in western North Carolina. In the last few decades, we have experienced unprecedented growth, with thousands of new residents moving here and many new businesses opening every year. Millions of tourists visit Asheville every year, so there are always new people to meet and things to do. At least that's how it is supposed to work here.
However, last year saw the prolonged closures of several of the unique restaurants, bars, venues, and more for a year or more. Families had to juggle working from home and remote learning, while some people said goodbye to loved ones. It has been a long hard year here, and we have missed our loyal regulars and meeting all those who would have visited.
But there's good news. We're back! We have reopened, and we're ready to rock! Here's what you can expect now that we are back, providing the experience you've come to expect here at one of the only dueling piano bars in the South.
