Photos: Boxing at Omar Shrine

Jim Kelly’s back in action and held his most recent boxing event at Omar Shrina at Patriot’s Point last Friday night.  It’s a good location and if they could get lighting worked out, would be perfect.  The issues with getting qualified boxers seem to have been worked out.  These fights seemed to draw more from […]

Photos: The sickest murals in Charleston

I know a lot of you already know about the incredible work Douglas Panzone (a.k.a. The Sheepman) has done on James Island, but I just recently got the chance to see them myself. Tucked away behind Buffalo South, Panzone has a personal gallery of at least seven huge murals that have been painted, painted […]

Photos: Rev Theory at the Music Farm

The Reggae block party last Saturday wasn’t really my scene so I left early. On the walk back I heard some welcome heavy guitar bouncing out of the Music Farm. I decided to stop in and see who it was and found Souls Harbor cranking out an opening set. Amy Hutto (98x) […]

Photos: The many faces of Joe Buck

Hillbilly proto-demon Joe Buck played the Black Cart last night and delivered one of the most intense and inspiring shows I’ve seen in a long time. He sat near the edge of the stage with a guitar and a drum pedal and channeled old and primevil energies straight through the crowd. I guess he’s known […]

Photos: Kulture Klash and The Mill

Kulture Klash was packed this year, nearly doubling the attendance from last year. It offered a pretty broad spectrum of Charleston visual artists and there were some great performances, too. Getting around was difficult at times, and the crowd was a little more party oriented than last year, but it’s still an amazing achievement.
After the […]

Photos: Race Week

Charleston was blessed with some great weather for this year’s Race Week. The annual event draws sailors from around the country and offers a glimpse of the international competitive sailing scene. Boat classes included “premiere One-Design, PHRF, and IRC regatta for racing sailboats 22 - 70 feet in length.”
I got a chance to ride on […]

Photos: UnexpecT, Warbringer, Nile

Local metalheads turned out in force last Friday night, bringing 400+ to the Music Farm. Warbringer brought at least a hundred of those into the pit and delivered a pummeling set. UnexpecT turned out bizarre circus metal with mind bending timing changes. And, of course, Nile growled and machine-gunned their way into […]

Photos: Shark swap at the aquarium

The South Carolina Aquarium recently exchanged one of their female sharks for a pubescent male shark from the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher. Ours went out early in the morning, so this bleary-eyed photog didn’t make it, but I did show up for the arrival of the new shark. Not yet fully grown, […]

Photos from the Spirit of South Carolina

I can think of worst things than sailing around the harbor on a beautiful Thursday morning. I hitched a ride aboard the Spirit of South Carolina during one of their Education-at-Sea day sails. The ship is a double-masted work of art and the kids were stoked to be out on the water.
This particular trip was […]
