Hello, South Charleston! Here's come the Joe Dobbs Book Tour TONIGHT!

Hi friends,

We had a GREAT launch of the Joe Dobbs Book Tour last night in Ashland with a packed house at the Paramount -- what a hoot! -- and now we're eager to move on to South Charleston tonight.

One slight change in the plan. We said earlier that tonight's show at The Daily Cup (246 7th Ave. in South Charleston)  would be 6:30. However, the good people at the Cup have asked us to move that up to 6 p.m. and we're happy to do that.

If you not been to the Cup before, it's easy to get to. Coming from the west (Huntington/Ashland), just take I-64 and get off at the MacCorkle Avenue exit (the one at the end of the new big bridge) and go east. You’ll pass a Krispie Kreme on the left. Keep going for a couple blocks and turn right onto E Street. Go two blocks and turn left onto 7th Avenue and it’ll be about two or three blocks farther. Here's a map too.

Meanwhile, if you can't make it to South Charleston tonight, there will be one more chance make the tour. We'll be at Huntington's Heritage Station, 210 11th St., at 10 a.m. Saturday. Put it on your calendar!

We continue to get great press attention this week in advance of the tour:

* Dave Lavender wrote an excellent story in this morning's Herald-Dispatch. Click here for a .pdf of it.

* Doug Imbrogno also wrote a wonderful piece in The Charleston Gazette on Wednesday. Click here to see Doug's story.

We also featured the tour in this week's Flood podcast, along with a great fiddle tune. Click here to hear that.
