At this point, it’s no secretthat the Deepwater Hori-zon Oil Spill is taking a tollon the Gulf coast. Luck-ily, there is something weCharlestonians can do toassist our neighbors. DrinkUp/Dine Out for the Gulfis a local fundraising effortto aid the fishermen of thegulf who have been affectedby the oil spill. The eventruns throughout the monthof July, and several arearestaurants and bars havegenerously offered to donate

proceeds from food anddrinks.

Sean Ferneau, a local artdealer and manager, andKeira Williams, an instruc-tor at the College of Charles-ton, started Drink Up/DineOut after a recent trip toNew Orleans.

“We were in New Orleans,and we wanted to help. Weboth have an intimate con-nection to the city since

Keira has lived there, and Ivisit all the time,” explainsFerneau. “Obviously, theenvironmental impact hasbeen huge. But we decidedto help the fishermen first.”

“I researched this fisher-man, Jimmy Galle, whoworks off the Gulf coast,”says Williams, “and Ilearned that he startedsomething called Dine Outfor the Gulf. It was a na-tional effort but it did nothave much publicity. Therewere NO South Carolinarestaurants involved, whichis why we decided to putthis together. Galle also putus in touch with the Greater

New Orleans Foundation.Their organization is reallyhonest, and they’re support-ing the critical needs of thepeople affected.”

“Our next step was tocontact restaurants and barsin the Charleston area,” saysWilliams. “The restaurantshave been very generousand have really stepped upto the plate. They them-selves decide how muchthey’d like to donate. Wetried to make it as easy aspossible to be part of this.”

“Right now, the fund-raiser is set to last the wholemonth of July but if theidea catches on we we will

extend it,” says Ferneau.“We’re also adding thenames of the Charlestonrestaurants to the nationalwebsite for Dine Out. Wehave to give props to theBlind Tiger, since they wereone of the first to sign on,and their enthusiasm wasreally contagious. Theythrew the kick-off happyhour party.”

Other special events dur-ing the month include anAbita beer promotion, run-ning at least until July 8th atPoe’s, Taco Boy, Monza andClosed for Business. There’salso a “Van Gogh Night”planned at Torch, with awe-

some discounts on VanGogh vodka and all profitsdonated to the cause.

Additional restaurants in-volved in the effort include,Social, The Mill, Poogan’sPorch, Madra Rua, Voodoo,and many others. Folkscan keep up with the eventschedule, updates and newdetails by following theevent blog, www.drinkup-forthegulfcoast.blogspot.com.

The only thing betterthan a holiday that falls

on a workday is a holidaythat falls on a weekend soyou get a day off of yourchoosing during the nextweek because, hey, this isAmerica and we will try tocome up with any reasonpossible to not work/drinkbeer.

I say this because earlierthis week I worked on Mon-day (the observed Fourthof July holiday) and quicklyrealized that I should alwayswork on holidays. Why?Well, for instance, you can ...

Get more done.Tired of your colleagues

constantly coming by yourdesk and asking stupidquestions while your phoneis ringing off the hook andyour boss is complain-ing about how you haven’tturned in any of your as-signments when all you re-ally want is a little peace andquiet so you can stalk yourex-girlfriend on Facebook?

Well, you can do that onholidays. Which remindsme, you can also ...

Wear what you want.Why wait for pants-free

Fridays when you can rockthe bunny slippers on aMonday?

Enjoy a shorter workday.Wouldn’t it be nice for a

change to walk into the of-fice and not immediatelybe faced the same stupidquestions you always getlike, “When are you goingto turn in those reports?”and “You realize it’s 11:45,right?”

Take longer lunch breaks.Forget those boring two-

hour lunches on the com-pany credit card that yourboss doesn’t know about.Instead, on holidays youcan use that same accountnumber to have as manypizzas delivered to the of-fice as you’d like whileenjoying them in your beerhelmet and “FBI (FemaleBody Inspector)” T-shirt.

Pretend to be your ownboss.

One of the best parts ofworking on a holiday is theboss is typically out of theoffice. Which means it’sup to each and every em-ployee working that day todemonstrate the necessaryintegrity and work ethicrequired of the job just asif the boss was sitting rightnext to them.

HA! Yeah, right. KEGPARTY!

Have a little fun.Build a cubicle fort or play

some paint ball. The officeis yours! You can even gointo your boss’s office andpretend to run the com-pany, by which I mean cutthe cheese in his big leatherchair and then send oute-mails from his computerto other employees sayingthey’re fired.

But the best part of work-ing on a holiday is thatnobody is there to laugh atyou because you didn’t re-member that it was actuallya holiday.

For reasons we’re still un-sure of, Bryce Donovan alsowrites two other columnseach week: “15 Minutes withBryce” on Saturdays and aFamily Life column on Mon-days. Reach him at 937-5938or [email protected]. And as if thatwasn’t enough Bryce, youcan also check out his blog“The Bryce is Write” or followhim on Twitter at www.twit-ter.com/brycedonovan.

It’s a holidayat the office

From Bryce’s perspective, the only downside to working on a holiday is having to shoot your own columnphoto.

OK, I give ...‘Glee’ is actually

pretty good

I never thought I’d say (orwrite) this, but I am officiallya fan of the TV show “Glee.”

When the Fox show de-buted last fall, my friend,

Shaundi, told me I had to watch it.All I knew about it was that it hadsomething to do with singing andhigh school, so even though it hadbeen strongly recommended, itwas bumped to the bottom of myshows-to-watch list.

But I happened to pick up thefirst season on DVD last weekend,and even though I expected to hateit, I was entranced and watchedepisode after episode without stop-ping.

The show follows a Midwesternhigh school teacher as he tries torevitalize the school’s glee club.What makes the show so watchableis how likable the characters are.And watching the glee clubbers tryto win competitions considering itseems like everyone’s against them.

I didn’t know any of the actorsin the show beforehand, exceptfor Jane Lynch. I knew Lynchfrom her role in the recently (andunfortunately) canceled “PartyDown” show on Starz, but her rolein “Glee” as the critical and com-petitive cheerleading coach SueSylvester trying to take down theglee club is dryly hilarious. Theglee club teacher, Will Schuester,is adorable, as is OCD guidancecounselor Emma Pillsbury, whohas a crush on him. The show fo-cuses on two members of the gleeclub, Rachel, an overachieving,diehard singer and wannabe star,

and Finn, a football player whogets tricked into joining the club,but about a dozen other characterscome into play throughout the firstseason.

I was certain the singing in theshow would be what made me hatethe show. But the singers have tal-ent and the songs they sing areridiculously catchy.

Episodes featuring renditionsof Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,”Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin,”and Kanye West’s “Golddigger” arelaugh out loud. Certainly, some ofthe numbers are a bit much, butsurprisingly, almost all of the songsfeel like they are just thrown intothe episode. They actually add tothe show.

What’s great about the show isthat it throws in a lot of differ-ent elements — romance, humor,drama, music — but doesn’t overdoany of those elements. The crushesbetween characters are sweet, butnot too much. The humor comesfrom the dry critical Sue, over-achiever Rachel, and the fast-pacedskits. And even though it’s set in ahigh school, the dramatic momentsaren’t milked or too immature.

The episodes are a quick watchat 45 minutes a pop, and I’d highlyrecommend it if you need an in-door summer activity. Seasons Twoand Three of the show already havebeen ordered, so it’s OK to get at-tached to the characters. Each epi-sode is more entertaining than thelast, so if you like the first, you’llprobably find the show good for afun watch!

Signs show local jazzscene doing just fine

I had lunch with an old familyfriend the week before lastand it was one of a couple ofrecent encounters that reas-sure me our jazz scene is get-

ting more and more solid.I saw Alan and Sally Davis at the

Ron Free concert at McCrady’sduring Spoleto and it was then Al-an and I decided we really neededto hang out. It was like a reunionof sorts among many people at theshow featuring the famous drum-mer, and it motivated us to gettogether again, something we hadbeen loosely talking about doingfor some time.

The recent surge in live jazz hashad us in occasional conversa-tions, but originally, I met Alansometime in the 1970s through myparents.

The couple are well-knownaround town. Sally, a Wetherh-horn, is a native, and Alan, born inBrooklyn, N.Y., has lived here for65 years, practicing law for a whileand owning and operating A.J. Da-vis & Co., a clothing store.

After numerous phone-tag ande-mail exchanges, we workedthings out. I met him at GradyErvin & Co., where he works part

time, and we walked down KingStreet to Sermet’s, a favorite forboth of us and a huge supporter oflive jazz.

It was a delightful time. We talk-ed about musicians, old Charles-ton, the recent upswing in popu-larity of jazz here, my trumpetplaying and his drumming.

Since I found my old school bandhorn, people have been urging meto play again, but I probably won’t.Alan, however, never put down thesticks and brushes and is lookingto take lessons and get better.

We got to talking about how goodRon sounded at McCrady’s. Turnsout, he, 75, and Ron, 74, knew eachother in high school and they hung

out. Ron left Charleston at 16 andwent on to have a noted career.

Alan has always had his fingeron the pulse of the local jazz scene.He told me that there’s never beena time he knows of in Charlestonwhen the jazz landscape was sovibrant.

He comes out to shows, particu-larly the 20-piece Charleston JazzOrchestra, and he and Sally tellwhomever will listen that theyought to go.

He offered that day to help inother ways. I told him the bestthing he could do is keep on be-ing himself and be a barometer ofwhat the community needs andwants with regard to live jazz.

So, I guess we’ll have to keep ongoing to lunch.

Thumbs UpThe Fourth of July in the

Lowcountry is second tonone. Well, maybe second towhat they do in Boston eachyear with the televised, sym-phonic performance of the“1812 Overture,” synced upwith firing cannons. That’shard to beat.

But as for the Lowcoun-try, the Fourth means somany boats in CharlestonHarbor, patriotic events atPatriots Point, fireworks atthe RiverDogs game and ourmany beaches, and that’sjust the tip of what wouldbe a rapidly melting icebergin this summer heat. As achild, Brittlebank Park wasalways the place to be on theFourth, or perhaps eatinghot dogs and hamburgersin a neighbor’s backyard.By the way, is anyone elseupset that it is illegal thesedays to buy bottle rockets inSouth Carolina? Those usedto be my favorite item at thefireworks stand. Then again,when I remember some ofthe stupid things my friendsand I used to do with thoseflying explosives, I canunderstand why they’re no

longer available.Regardless, every Fourth

of July we celebrate what isessentially America’s seces-sion from Great Britain, inthe cradle of Southern seces-sion. And this year, as everyyear, it was a hoot.

Thumbs DownThe week before Vickery’s

downtown closed, I hadlunch there twice. Oncewas with good friend andauthor Kirkpatrick Sale,who, speaking of the Fourthof July, is one of the world’sleading advocates of mod-ern-day secession. “Kirk,”as his friends call him, usedto work for The Nationmagazine and The NewYork Times, but now livesin Mount Pleasant. Our

lunches at Vickery’s hadbecome almost a bimonthlytradition and I’ll miss hav-ing them there.

And I already miss Vick-ery’s, overall. For 18 years,the restaurant and bar wasa primary meeting place fordrinks or dinner, and a placethat virtually everyone knewand liked. There’s probablynot a moment of my life forthe last two decades thatI can’t relate back in somemanner to an experienceat Vickery’s. Vickery’s usedto have one of my favoritecalamari dishes in town, or“Southern fried squid,” andin addition to its quality andaffordable menu, the relaxedvibe was always familiarand inviting. Not being a bigoutdoors guy, Vickery’s wasone of the few places I couldalways be persuaded todine on the patio, under theshady trees and so long as itwasn’t 90 degrees. The own-ers say they plan to reopenelsewhere, but there willalways be something specialabout the Beaufain Street lo-cation. Farewell to what wasunquestionably a Charlestoninstitution. R29-342176

Quentin, Herb and meAlan’s favorite drummers

are Max Roach, Joe Morelloand Quentin Baxter. Prettylofty company for Charles-ton native Quentin, but Alanlikes his playing that much.He’s not alone.

At the CJO Conductor’sChoice concert May 22,Quentin had a 10-minute so-lo in Tommy Gill’s arrange-ment of George Gershwin’s“Rhapsody in Blue” thatpeople are still talking about.(Nobody in music circlesaround here can rememberever hearing a drum solo inany version of “Rhapsody.)

Alan said at lunch that dayit was some of the best drum-ming he had ever heard; andhe’s heard them all.

One night at CharlestonGrill, where Quentin is musi-cal director, we were talk-ing between sets about ourongoing explorations intoa Charleston sound. He’sbeen revisiting his magnumopus, a 15-year work in prog-ress whose working title is

“Gullah Suite,” and he saidhe’s looking to further refinehis knowledge of his family,his home group (African-American) and his place(Southeastern United States).

He also revealed that there’ssome Native Americanheritage in his family inDorchester County and hewants to know more aboutthe overall intermingling be-tween Lowcountry Africansand Native Americans.

I suggested we get togetherwith my friend and col-league, Herb Frazier, formerPost and Courier reporter,who is expert in Gullahhistory and diaspora andmaroon societies such as theFlorida Seminoles.

Quentin took me up onit, so Herb and I went to hishouse last week to talk aboutthe subject. Supplementingthe discussion were materialsHerb had brought along thatincluded books, articles andrecordings he thought wouldbe helpful in Quentin’s quest.

We got a lot done, in partbecause we had worked to-gether on a project before.

We already had a rapport. InMarch 2008, Quentin andI co-produced a record healso engineered called “Seek-ing,” a live recording from aconcert I produced in tributeto the work of painter Jona-than Green. On that CD is atraditional Mende song fromSierra Leone, West Africa,an area from which manyenslaved Africans here camefrom. Herb’s research ledhim to a residual of the songas sung in coastal Georgiasome years ago. He subse-quently shared it with me.In January 2008, I commis-sioned Charlton Singleton todo a modern jazz interpreta-tion of the Mende song andto put a band together toperform it. It was a naturalfor the Seeking concert.

The meeting last week ispoised to emerge as the im-petus of the next major stepin defining the Charlestonsound. Quentin was elatedand energized by what wewent over and, I’m sure, whathe learned will be part of thebedrock of his music fromnow on.

Miss Chris pulls items out of your closet and suggests other options. Call her at843-530-7548.

Miss Chris can organize yourcloset and rework your wardrobeI ’ve always thought that

having a stylist was one ofthose things that only celeb-rities needed.

But that was before I metMiss Chris.

I found out about herthrough a friend who hand-ed me her business card.

Putting a modern spin onthe whole idea of being apersonal shopper, she shopsyour closet and styles out-fits from pieces you alreadyown. It’s so ingenious (es-pecially in this economy), Iwish I’d thought of it myself.

So I made an appointment,and one day last week MissChris came out to my placefor a total reboot of my clos-et which, truthfully, kind ofneeded it. Between writingfreelance and a retail gigwhere I can get by in jeansand a T-shirt, I had becomea little lazy in some of mywardrobe choices.

As she was setting up a roll-ing rack in my living room,we talked briefly about herbackground as a model liv-ing in Paris and workingwith stylists. I looked onenviously because her outfit— fitted cargo pants rolled

to the ankle, long lightweightcardigan, tucked in tanktop and black ballet flats —achieved the perfect balanceof casual yet pulled togetherthat I aspire to.

For the next hour, MissChris pulled items out of mycloset, asking what I’d wearwith them. Then she’d sug-gest other options, puttinga complete outfit togetherwith shoes and accessories.

What was interesting isthat she started to make meconsider different ways ofwearing clothes, and some-times through the simplestchange.

For example, she pulledout a full, slightly abovethe knee skirt in aqua. Inthe past, I’ve usually wornit with a tank top and flatsandals. Admittedly a little

boring. When she pairedit with a blousy, Mexican-embroidered tunic, I wasn’tsure about it, but she advisedtucking the shirt in, whichmade the whole look a lotmore high-end and chic.

Part of her style phi-losophy involves the ruleof “three pieces.” They’rebasically elements that reallyfinish an outfit: a cute shoe,jewelry and a layering piece(sweater, jacket).

Miss Chris also encour-ages her clients to have astaple piece. Like Jackie O.with her oversize sunglasses.It’s something that sets youapart from the rest of thefashion pack. As Miss Chrissays, this is, “your statementthat people will notice orcomment about.”

Other advice includes: Addsome color, pay attention todetails, find a good tailor,make sure you have a full-length mirror and get rid ofthe clutter.

At the end of the hour, Ihad 10 “new” outfits.

Miss Chris can be reachedat 530-7548. She gives stu-dent discounts, and the firsthour is free.

Williams and Flintmake moves at

Robert LangeStudios

R obert Lange Studiosupcoming exhibit“Still : Moving” features

the work of the contemporarylandscape artist Charles Wil-liams and cityscape painterJoshua Flint.

The artists’ styles both compli-ment and contrast each other.

Contemporary landscapepainter Williams often paintsLowcountry marshscapes that“drip” with the artist’s combina-tion of traditional and modern.

Flint’s cityscapes are typicallycomposed of contrasting colorson dreamlike building.

“Both artists’ works capture,in their peaceful views, howsimple life could be and trans-late this feeling into idyllicpaintings,” says gallery directorMegan Lange.

“ ‘Still : Moving’ is a stunningand engaging body of paintingsthat chronicle the motion andstillness found in both city lifeand nature,” she said.

“There is something aboutthe history of Charleston thatmakes me excited to captureit on canvas,” says Flint. “Thecornices decorating storefronts,the arches and doors, and theway some buildings will leanup against each other, all tell astory.”

One notable piece in Flint’scollection is “Legacy,” a brownand gray depiction of the his-

toric property at 1 Broad Street,in which he seems to have suc-ceeded in capturing a momentin the city’s history.

Williams’ work has been de-scribed as a contemporary up-date on the traditional Ameri-can landscape.

“The horizontal line of alandscape painting can createa thoughtful and sensitive mo-ment,” says Williams. “And thedrips along the bottom of mywork signify the freedom I feelwhile painting nature.”

A fter a tour withBand of Horsesin Colorado, aperformance at

the South by SouthwestFestival in Texas, anda new EP recording onFat Possum Records, it’ssafe to say that local rockquartet, Company, hashad a busy year in 2010.

Company, known local-ly as Co., has been playingmusic in the Charlestonarea since 2006. SingerBrian Hannon and drum-mer Kelly Grant attendedhigh school at the FineArts Center in Greenville.They went to differentcolleges, but reunited inCharleston three years lat-er. After talking at a show,the two started playingmusic, recruiting friendand fellow musician Mat-thew Royse on bass andHannon’s neighbor, T.J.Ave-Lallemant, on guitar.The resulting sound isreminiscent of early ’90salt-rock and contempo-

rary indie music.After Company signed

up as an impromptuopener at the Music Farma few months ago, thingsstarted happening. Longstory short, the showresulted in a small tourwith Band of Horses, andprogressed into an EPrecorded at Echo Moun-tain Studios in Ashevillethat will be released laterthis year. Company hastwo upcoming showsscheduled. On July 12, thegroup will play a soft setat 52.5 Records on KingStreet. July 30 will bringthem to The Music Farm,with Sleepy Eye Giant andFirework Show, two other

rising stars in the Charles-ton music circuit.

Charleston Scene caughtup with singer Brian Han-non to hear about Com-pany.

Q: Where did the namecome from?

A: Interesting develop-ment. It started off ‘Ko.’It’s a symbol in a religioustext, the I Ching. A closeEnglish translation wouldbe “revolution,” in a polit-ical sense. People startedto call us “Knock-Out”which is not very cool. Wedecided to go with Com-pany. Ben Bridwell fromBand of Horses solidifiedthe name.

Q: Tell me about the

shows with Band ofHorses.

A: We went to Coloradowith them in March.They were the biggestshows that we ever played.Then we went to Texasfor South by Southwest,which was a huge expe-rience. Certainly thoseare the most memorableshows, but I also likeplaying house shows tocrowds of 10 people herein Charleston. Those arestill really important aswell.

Q: What’s next forCompany?

A: The label is workingon a booking agent for us,so we’re kind of waiting toget a real tour going. Thebiggest thing right now isthe Music Farm show (onJuly 30). That’s our firsttime headlining the Mu-sic Farm, so I’d love forpeople to come out. I’vegot a few free copies of thenew unmastered EP thatwill be handed out, andwe’re doing the show foras cheap as we can makeit. Everyone should come... listen to me sing.

Brantley GilbertSaturday at The Windjammer

There’s no question that Brantley Gilbert’s music is adirect influence of his upbringing. Having grown up ina small, rural town just outside of Athens, Ga., Gilbertwas nestled between the life of a true country song andthe echoes of a thriving rock scene that boomed justminutes away.

The location wasn’t lost on Gilbert, although, for atime, it seemed it might have been. Gilbert had long en-joyed playing the occasional acoustic set to family andfriends around town but had never considered a careeron stage until a near-fatal car accident in 2005 left Gil-bert fighting for his life.

After a remarkable recovery, Gilbert returned homewith a new lease on life and a determined attitude tofollow his dreams no matter how great the risks or fearsmight be.

Gilbert started a band and hit the streets of Nashvillewhere he found work as a songwriter collaborating withthe likes of Jason Aldean and Colt Ford. It wasn’t longbefore Nashville-based label Average Joe’s Entertain-ment signed Gilbert and put the budding musician inthe studio to record his first album “A Modern DayProdigal Son” in 2009.

Gilbert’s latest album “Halfway To Heaven” featuresthe single “Kick It In the Sticks,” which has helped Gil-bert’s Myspace page receive 25,000 daily listeners andearn the No. 1 spot on Myspace Music Charts for bothcountry and Southern rock.

See him Saturday at The Windjammer, The Windjam-mer, 1008 Ocean Blvd, Isle of Palms. Ticket are $10 inadvance and $12 the day of the show. Visit www.brant-leygilbert.com.

a bit ironic that the band calling itselfthat hails from the state nicknamed“The Heart of It All,” but this Ohioquartet is anything but heartless.

Sharing the same home-state andlabel as the popular garage-blues bandThe Black Keys, the Cincinnati bandis quickly becoming a critic favorite ofthe garage genre; having been on thetips of tongues and pens alike since itsdebut “Stairs and Elevators” was re-leased on Fat Possum Records in 2005.

The band first caught the attentionof The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney af-ter singer and guitarist Erika Wenner-strom slipped him a demo in 2004.

Carney passed it along to Fat Pos-sum and the band was in the studio afew months later.

With a gritty musical style andsleepy melodies that pulse with saltysignificance and affects you in a wayyou never thought music with suchsimple instrumentation could, theband reminds one of a mix betweenYeah Yeah Yeahs and a very exhaustedCold War Kids.

The band recently completed aNorth American tour with Wolf-mother and are now in the midst ofa headlining tour marking the lasttour behind the band’s latest album

“Mountain.”They will perform tonight at The

Pour House, 1977 Maybank Hwy.,with The Builders and The Butchersand Peter Wolf Crier. Tickets are $12in advance, $15 at the door and areavailable online at www.etix.com or atthe door.

Josh Roberts and The HingesFriday at Home Team BBQ

Columbia’s Josh Roberts and TheHinges explode with the fury of apowder keg packed with the soundsof Americana, blues, rock and soulfulpsychedelia as its shrapnel.

The concoction is a lethal one, ca-pable of slicing straight to the core ofany listener.

Roberts is tragically underrated forhis exceptional songwriting, enthusi-astic, almost spastic, presentation andmasterful guitar skills.

Roberts combines the oddities ofLes Claypool and Frank Zappa withthe passion of Jimi Hendrix and theraucous, Southern soul of PattersonHood (Drive-By Truckers) to createone imaginative character.

Josh Roberts and The Hinges willperform Friday at Fiery Ron’s HomeTeam BBQ, 1205 Ashley River Road.Tickets are $5 at the door. Call 225-7427 or visit www.hometeambbq.com.

YarnTuesday at The Pour House

A country/Americana band fromBrooklyn might seem a bit odd, butfor Brooklyn-based septet Yarn, itmakes perfect sense.

Almost anywhere else Yarn might bepigeon-holed as just another countryband or lost in the masses of Ameri-cana bands.

In New York, however, Yarn’s roots-rock and country style is more pro-gressive than familiar.

It’s not just Yarn’s location that setsthe band apart. The music nestlesitself into significance through sing-a-long choruses and superior musician-ship that wanders from Appalachia-style and toe-tapping bluegrass tobackwoods blues.

Yarn will perform Tuesday at ThePour House, 1977 Maybank Hwy.,with Amelia’s Mechanics. Tickets are$8 at the door. Doors open at 9 p.m.

One of the pieces for theshow is of the mid-eveninglight dancing on the surface ofwater; the horizon line fadesinto a soft blue sky, which is re-flected in the water below.

“The piece captures themovement of water to such anextent, and with the additionof Williams’ signature drips, itappears it will spill out onto thewall below,” says Lange. “Eachwork demonstrates an act ofrestraint on the artists’ part,where they must walk awayleaving the focal instant of thepiece to stand within the im-pressionistic moment of what isbeing painted.”

The BushelsWOOD & STEEL(Independent)Local acoustic quartet The Bushels have

been showing the Lowcountry their ownbrand of acoustic music for awhile now,most notably during the band’s weeklyhoedown at Seel’s on Sullivan’s everyWednesday evening. While Mal Jones,Guilds Hollowell, and Jim and WhittAlgar embody the typical bluegrass four-

piece that consists of acousticguitar, upright bass, banjo andmandolin, the music of TheBushels is anything but typical.

On the band’s new seven-song studio al-bum, “Wood & Steel,” the boys come outswinging with a harmonica solo at thebeginning of the first track, “Cheap BeerBar Brand Blues,” that would make theguys in Blackfoot proud. Lively numbers,such as “Kon Let’s Dance” and “Dust MeOff” make up the majority of the album.There are a couple of slower tunes, such asthe mournful “Someday” and the blues-infused “Ain’t Gon Be Troubled.” Thescorching “Train Called Love” is probablythe CD’s best track, but that’s saying a loton a short but sweet CD that is good frombeginning to end.KEY TRACKS: “Kon Let’s Dance,” “Some-day,” “Train Called Love”

Jack of KnivesPRETTY LITTLE THINGS(Independent)Trying to nail down the exact style of

music played by the local band Jack ofKnives is an exercise in futility. Sure,there’s a hard rock edge to just about everysong on “Pretty Little Things,” the band’snew CD, but simply calling it hard rockwould be doing the music an injustice.Elements of blues, jazz and punk also pop

up without warning on many of thetracks, making for a wild and un-predictable ride through the dozentracks on the album. While some

might find some of the material a bit tooexperimental, in reality tracks such as“The End” and “Spies” reward the listenerwith challenging changes and melodies.Band members C. Dodson, Nick Jenkinsand Khalid Smalls are obviously havingfun here, and great tracks such as “FastAce,” “Money,” and the jazzy instrumen-tal “Thunder” relay that feeling. Jack ofKnives might not agree with folks moreaccustomed to what passes for main-stream music these days, but for thoselooking for something a bit off the beatenpath, “Pretty Little Things” is an interest-ing journey.KEY TRACKS: “7+11,” “Fast Ace,” “Money”

Concrete BlondeBLOODLETTING: 20TH ANNIVERSARY

EDITION(Shout!Factory)Sure, these days vampires might be all

the rage, what with the success of the“Twilight” series and HBO’s “True Blood,”but two decades ago the band ConcreteBlonde proved itself way ahead of thetrends when it released “Bloodletting.”Led by the sultry voice of lead singer Joh-

nette Napolitano, “Bloodletting”remains Concrete Blonde’s best-selling release, largely due to itsgothic and vampire themes, as

well as the commercial radio success of thesingle “Joey.” The album features guest ap-pearances by both Wall of Voodoo’s AndyPrieboy and R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, and stillsounds surprisingly timely, given its age.In addition to great album tracks such as“Joey,” “Bloodletting (The Vampire Song),”and “The Sky is a Poisonous Garden,” thenewly remastered album features bonustracks that include a previously unreleasedFrench-language version of the album’s titletrack, “I Want You,” the long-unavailableB-side for the single “Joey,” and live ver-sions of “The Sky is a Poisonous Garden”and “Tomorrow, Wendy.” If you’re a long-time fan, let this reissue take you back.” Ifyou’re a teenage member of Team Edward,then check out a great vampire-themedrock album that, thankfully, wasn’t pillagedfor the “Eclipse” soundtrack.KEY TRACKS: “Joey,” “Bloodletting (TheVampire Song),” “The Sky is a PoisonousGarden”

RushBEYOND THE LIGHTED STAGE(Zoe)For those who still think of Rush as that

quirky prog-rock band from Canada, con-sider this; according to the RIAA, Rushranks third, just behind The Beatles and theRolling Stones, in bands with the most con-secutive gold and platinum albums. If thatstill doesn’t sway your opinion, then the bestargument for the band’s greatness yet comes

in the form of the film “Rush: Be-yond the Lighted Stage.” This docu-mentary traces the history of a bandthat has done surprisingly little

over the years to tell their own story, leav-ing their music to do most of the talking.Filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunnlovingly tell the story of Geddy Lee, AlexLifeson and Neil Peart, three guys who wentfrom not being able to land a gig in theirhometown of Toronto, to selling out stadi-ums around the world. “Beyond the LightedStage” features interviews with the bandmembers, as well as fans from other notablebands, including Smashing Pumpkins’ BillyCorgan, Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins, andKISS’ Gene Simmons. The archival footageis plentiful, and the filmmakers manage topack a lot of information into the film. TheDVD edition features an extra hour and ahalf of previously unreleased footage thatwasn’t included in the theatrical release, aswell as a 12-page color booklet of rare andunreleased photos. For Rush fans, this filmrepresents their favorite band finally gettingsome much-due respect.KEY SCENE: Learning why Neil Peartdoesn’t do meet-and-greets.

The Tattooed Moose

BY DEIDRE SCHIPANIThe Post and Courier

S tuffed, literally and figuratively! With the tidy work of taxider-mists showcased on the walls and the seven-step program tocreate your own sandwich, the Tattooed Moose provides equalmeasure of funk and fullness.

Jennifer and Michael Kulick, of Voodoo Tiki Lounge and the late, de-parted Marie Laveau’s, acquired Kitty’s Fine Foods in late winter. Theytook the place down to the studs and lovingly reconstructed a neighbor-hood bar and deli with immediate patina.

The feline ceramics and Siamese cats of Miss Kitty Proctor’s meat-and-three era have been curated for future generations. The signature moose

head is front and centerover the bar: Maintaining awatchful and wandering eyeover patrons and staff alike.

The modern-day backbar trophies of single maltScotch and small-batchbourbon are the real deal atthe Moose: ducklings, trout,the mythical jackalope andeven a shotgun that mayhave brought one or all ofthem down. They are allwrangled for your pleasure,whether you are tossingback cheap shots and beer ornursing a Lindemans KriekLambic ($10) or Youngs DBLChocolate Stout ($8).

The Tattooed Moose hassprung up in the gentrifiedNeck section of “northern”Charleston and has quicklybeen embraced by bikersand barristers, pub crawlersand programmers, editorsand event planners, long-shoremen and longnecklovers.

This is not a bar for cock-tail revolutionaries. It isone for those who prefervideo games over filteredvodkas; PBR ($2) alongsideStone Ruination IPA ($7): agame of Yahtzee with theirYuengling ($3). It is forthose who take no offense at“We don’t serve girls here.You’ll have to bring yourown.” Whether you comefor brews, brunch or the latenight bands, this quirky pubfeels snug.

The Kulick’s understand

the architecture of a sand-wich and guide you throughall the elements of properconstruction, right down tothe basics of quality breadsand meat. This will cost you$7.50. For additional charges(.50-$1) you can add arti-chokes, apple-wood smokedbacon, more meat, morecheese.

But the stable of traditionalvegetables and condiments,along with Boar’s Headmeats and cheeses andgrilled portabellas (for thosewho prefer meatless), thereis abundance.

Create your own special,drop it in the box (alongwith your e-mail) and if itis selected as the sandwichspecial of the week, you getone free.

Sandwich specials reprisethe duck club ($13.50),honor the Southside of Chi-cago with an Italian hero,($8.50), include a deli classicReuben ($7.95) and a roasted“Chokin’ chicken” for $7.95.

The Moose burger ($8)is an 8-ounce patty classicwith lettuce, tomato, cheese,bacon, and onion; gildedwith garlic aioli and finishedwith “special sauce.”

The duck club ($13.50) isa cardiologists nightmare:Duck confited (cooked in itsown fat), topped with apple-wood smoked pork fat,that would be bacon, somesmoked Cheddar cheese anda lick of aioli, finished witha healthy topping of let-tuce, tomato, and red onion.

Two-fisted, carnal pleasure;melding succulence with theslippery salt of satisfaction.

That left-over confit duckfat does right by the fries($4) served with a side of thegarlic-spiked, house-mademayonnaise with just theright hit of lemon.

Buffalo wings (12 for $7.25)get the classic preparationthat made them an edibleicon of Upstate New York.

Salads prevail ($2.95,$7.50); honoring the currentwisdom that men are frombacon and women are fromsalad.

Save room for Jen’s choco-late and cinnamon breadpudding ($4), an unctuousmarriage of bread, bit-tersweet chocolate, vanillacustard sauce and cinna-mon. Each bite runs with arivulet of chocolate, warm-ing cinnamon, soft breadand creamy vanilla elixir.It might be better than theduck club!

Those hand-cut friescan be had with sausagegravy ($4.50) during Sundaybrunch ($4.50) along withthe Elvis ($6) combining theKing’s classic flavor trifectaof peanut butter, bananaand bacon.

Down Jen’s famous Bloodywith the original “Skewer”($9) and bless the food godsin the Kulick’s DNA thatenables them to provideconviviality, communityand conversation througha balance beam of beer andBoar’s Head.

BY ROB YOUNGSpecial to The Post and Courier

M y father calls them Old Fashions, or OldTimeys, and they’re labeled the same at hisrestaurant, a small outpost called the Da-

Nite in a small town a few hours north of here.That’s pronounced Day-Night, in case you needed

that cleared up, and it’s not that hard to get to. Justcut up I-95 until you hit the state line, then keep go-ing. You’ll find it in the eastern pinelands of NorthCarolina, where he’s made his living scaring upcheese biscuit breakfasts, meat-and-two lunch plates

and fried trout dinners.But it’s his almighty burgers

— Hallelujah, praise be the OldFashions, those hand-pattied,quarter-pound, straight-from-the-grease-griddle, and laid-out-on-big-squares-of-wax-paper, two-fisters —that keep the crowds coming back.

So, when somebody asks me, hey,what’s your favorite burger, it’s aneasy answer. For the most part.

It’s old news, really: The humbleburger bound from the backyard many years ago,retrofitted for everyday eateries and fancy schman-cy, white-tablecloth restaurants.

Order one however you want it, any cut, at anytemperature, with any garnishing. It’s just a matterof saying please, or pretty please, with basil mayon-naise on top.

But then, you never really get over your first love,do you? It’s sort of like “Quantum Leap,” the oldNBC series: Maybe, just maybe, that next burger willbe the burger that gets you home.

Which doesn’t mean you can’t be converted. Likeany child of the countryside, one can be, and one hasbeen, wooed by the French seductress ensconced at39 Rue de Jean. The brasserie’s wickedly wonder-ful burger checks in at 10 ounces, the meat groundin-house and crowned with your choice of threecheeses: the French Roquefort, sharp and smoky;the Swiss Gruyere, milder and nutty; or cheddar,the English expatriate from the village of the samename.

And, yes, like the semicolon, it is a high-falutin cre-ation, girdled by a disc of red onion, and deliveredwith a side of pomme frites. Cooked to order (I’lltake mine medium rare, please), juice seeps into thebun, occasionally puddling on the plate, which inmy mind is an admirable thing.

Not too far, just down the road, the Palmetto Cafeoffers a sun-speckled setting on the main floor ofthe Charleston Place Hotel. That, and a burger to ri-val Rue’s, the recipe imported from a sister propertycalled the 21 Club, an old-school speakeasy in Man-hattan. The burger ($30 in New York, not as much inCharleston) is concocted with fresh thyme and duck

fat — duck fat! — to keep the meat from drying out.It’s a fine slab, remarkable even. And to think, onceit was considered heresy to dribble ketchup onto aburger.

Of course, Casey Glowacki dresses up his burgerswith more than tomato concentrate at his burgeon-ing burger domain, Sesame Burgers & Beer. Heplops grilled zucchini and pepper jack cheese ontothe “Arizona” burger; portobello mushrooms andgoat cheese spread on “The Gourmet”; grilled pine-apple and ham on the “Hawaiian”; and house-madepimiento cheese onto his state specialty “SouthCarolina” burgers.

Same goes for Mozzo, the Mount Pleasant deli, anda newer contender for title of, ahem, burger king.Mozzo wields pimiento cheese, chipotle mayo andguacamole on top of its Southern burger, a “smoky,hot and sassy” treat. But it really drops the hammerwith the Bourzy burger, draped in creamy Boursincheese and sweet, caramelized onions. This is somekinda good.

Only, my tastes largely tend toward the mini-mal, the aesthetic stamped between a pair of freshSunbeam buns. Back at my dad’s place, “X” alwaysmarked the spot, the letter being the restaurant’sshort-order designation for a cheeseburger all theway: just mustard, chili and chopped onions. Sim-plicity can soothe the belly.

Fischer’s Sports Pub & Grill on Seabrook Islandcan back me up, providing a luscious patty melt,which theoretically may not qualify as a hamburger.But it is every bit as good, and simple, the freshground beef and grilled onions sheltered by gooeycheddar cheese on buttered toast.

But for my de facto, griddle top go-to, my preferredhaunts are but two: the grill at the James IslandMunicipal Golf Course, and Johnny’s Olde Vil-lage Grill & Spirits. Both serve up hand-formedpatties: thick, imperfect and gosh-darn great. Sit atthe counter long enough and you’ll need a change ofshirt, lest you prefer to wear one soaked with smoke.Of course, occasionally their burgers are so impres-sive, you just might.

But still, for all their wonder, these are not theburgers of my adolescence or of my homecomingsor my fevered dreams. Those have kept to their littletown, and to my father, who for years, has bornethem at our house, patting them between his palms,placing them between small sheaves of thin, whitepaper, and piling the discs one by one into large plas-tic containers for transport to the restaurant, where,finally, he foists them onto the flat top. A cracklingkiss, soft smoke ...

But these burgers, the ones at Rue de Jean andJohnny’s, and the points in between, are the burgersof someone’s youth, of someone’s madcap, after-school dashes, and of many happy returns.

And that is not an awful thing at all. Indeed, it is avery, very, very good thing.

The Sand Shack Bar &Grill is a rock n’ roll

joint that is part neighbor-hood bar and part livemusic venue. Located nextto Frankie’s Fun Park offAshley Phosphate Rd. inNorth Charleston, the SandShack features live musicthroughout the week. It iswhere familiar faces gatherat their favorite wateringhole to enjoy good tunes andgood times.

I’ve seen a number ofbands at the Sand Shackover the years, and the mu-sic tends to lean toward oldschool heavy metal and clas-sic rock.

Local acts like 24/7, Ripand Tear and AC/DC trib-ute TNT are mainstays atthe Sand Shack.The bar hasalways been a good venue toenjoy live music, in terms ofsound quality and overallcomfort.

As for the neighborhoodpart, the biker-friendly SandShack has always had a com-munity feel, exemplified lastmonth by the “60 Miles forMyles” charity event, whichis a car and motorcycle run

in memory of the late MylesLee Dunn, who passed awayafter an accident in April.

With the funds raised go-ing toward funeral expensesand Mothers Against DrunkDriving, the Sand Shack wasa primary participant andthe starting point for theevent.

The Sand Shack haschanged ownership over theyears, but has always been agood spot for not only livemusic but billiards and oc-casionally outdoor gameslike volleyball and horse-shoes. At the Sand ShackBar & Grill, there’s alwaysplenty of fun to be had ac-companied by a hardwork-ing staff dedicated to mak-ing it happen.

Manny’s MediterraneanCafe has stepped into the for-mer Camille’s Sidewalk Cafein North Charleston, build-ing up the reputation, andthe numbers, of the Manny’sGreek restaurant organiza-tion.

Already, the companycounts a pair of restaurants,one in Statesboro, Ga., andlongtime favorite, Manny’sNeighborhood Grill, in WestAshley.

Manny’s MediterraneanCafe’s offerings differ fromthe food found at the otherrestaurants; it’s a smallermenu without the litany ofsteaks, seafood and pastasprovided by Manny’s Neigh-

borhood Grill.Instead, the cafe focuses on

pita sandwiches, hand-tossedpizzas and authentic Greekspecialties and platters.

Of course, the cafe, whichis brightly lit and spruced upin shades of light green andyellow (a departure from theoriginal Manny’s), still servesa few of the items that havehelped Manny’s earn a stead-fast following: gyros.

Long the restaurant’s topseller, Manny’s roasts itsgyro meat in a tall, verticalspit, carving out the stripsfor inclusion on pita bread,along with lettuce, tomatoes,onions and tzatziki sauce. It’salways going to be a consis-tent choice.

Of the same esteem,Manny’s also makes souvlaki($6.99), marinated pork loinor lamb; kyma, ground beefwith Greek seasonings, plustzatziki and onions; and gyromelts ($7.49), slow-cookedgyro meat and melted moz-zarella.

And of course, Manny’ssticks to old-world dishes,too, serving up pastitsio($9.49), layered with groundbeef and pasta, and moussa-ka ($9.49), a layering of egg-plant and additional filling.

I reland native Frank McMahon hascooked in some of the country’smost celebrated restaurants.

After graduating from the CulinaryInstitute of America in New York, hewent to work at Le Bernardin underEric Ripert and Gilbert Le Coze. Hesaid perfecting his skills in such a res-taurant set the stage for the moves thatfollowed.

After spending time at Opus in SantaMonica, Calif., McMahon came toCharleston. He has been the executivechef of Hank’s since it opened in 1999.

Q: Your parents were chefs and res-taurant owners. Did you spend lots oftime there as a child?

A: I spent lots of time there. Afterrugby practice, I was in the kitchen,skinning the fish, working, setting up.It was nice because I always had somemoney.

Q: Did you always know you wantedto be a chef?

A: I always asked myself what I want-ed to do, but I think when you growup in the business, it’s hard to leave.I worked in hotel management for awhile, but ultimately I decided to stayin the kitchen.

Q: Why did you leave Ireland?A: I knew that I wanted to go some-

where after high school. Those weredifficult days in Ireland and it washard to make a decent living; I neededto move forward. The U.S. made themost sense because I have family here.I was fortunate to have those opportu-nities.

Q: You worked at one of NYC’s mostfamous restaurants, Le Bernardin.What was that experience like?

A: That was the pinnacle for me. Thesimplicity, the cleanliness, the flavors.... It’s what I still strive for today. I

worked with amazing people thereand it was a great formative experi-ence.

Q: How closely do you work withchef (Bob) Carter and the staff atPeninsula Grill?

A: We are separate entities, but webanter back and forth and supporteach other. We meet once or twice aweek and talk. We have a good solidrelationship.

Q: What was your vision when youopened Hank’s?

A: Hank (Holliday) and Bob (Carter)were interested in opening a great,classic seafood restaurant, somethingthey felt Charleston was missing. Theyasked me to create a menu and I had

my own vision. I will say that we allhad to compromise.

They told me that they liked myideas, but that I had to be more rep-resentative of the Lowcountry. Weworked together to create the menuthat we still use today, so I would saythat it has been successful.

We have figured out what works bestand that is what we do.

Q: As the chef of a seafood restau-rant, how concerned are you aboutthe crisis in the Gulf?

A: It’s mind boggling what’s goingon down there. Seafood has been a bigconcern of mine for a long time be-cause of sustainability issues, but thishas just taken everyone’s concern to anew level.

The balance was already off, now weare facing catastrophic conditions. It isquite scary.

Q: What is your “guilty pleasure”food?

A: I’m a cheeseburger fanatic. I can-not lie. Any place that will cook it me-dium rare is fine by me.

BY RACHEL SASLOWAssociated Press Writer

I t’s safe to assume thatmost Americans don’toften think about how

Hawaii became a U.S. terri-tory, if they ever learned thestory in the first place.

It’s a sad, but familiar tale:White men come to a re-sources-rich, strategicallylocated nation, deem its in-habitants “barbarians” andtake over.

That’s the backdrop for“Princess Ka’iulani,” an un-even film that, by trying tosatisfy parents with politicaldrama and older childrenwith a love story, leaves bothparties wanting.

The film, which is basedon real events, opens in1889 with the young prin-cess (Q’orianka Kilcher)collecting shells on thebeach. We learn througha narrator that Ka’iulani’smother has died, the firstof many hardships of theprincess’s life.

Soon, rebels linked to theU.S. government try to over-throw the monarchy, andKa’iulani’s father, who isScottish, whisks her away tosafety in England. The prin-cess is devastated and mopesaround her new Victorianbedroom, carefully layingout seashells that she col-lected with her mother onher bedspread and crying.

In England, she faces racialslurs at school and at socialevents, people stare at herand ask demeaning ques-

tions such as “Do you readand write?”

She falls in love with aBritish boy named Clive(Shaun Evans) and an inter-minable sequence of scenesof them giggling and mak-ing out begins, interruptedonly by googly eyes and ter-rible dialogue.

The film gets more inter-esting when the politicalsituation heats up in Hawaiiand Ka’iulani travels to theUnited States, where shemust charm journalists andPresident Grover Clevelandin order to protect the in-terests of her people. In theprocess, she transitions intoa poised stateswoman fight-ing for suffrage for Hawai-ian natives.

BY BETSY SHARKEYLos Angeles Times

Y ou know it’s an Irishfairytale when themists swirl and the

sea churns around the harshbeauty of the Emerald Isle.You know it’s a Neil JordanIrish fairytale when at thecenter of all that harsh beau-ty is a working-class familybroken apart by alcoholism.

That is “Ondine,” starringColin Farrell as Syracuse,a local fisherman with agrudge-holding, heavy-drinking ex-wife and a spir-ited daughter on dialysis.

Syracuse is long past hav-ing dreams when he snares abeautiful woman in his netsand reality and Irish my-thology soon tangle in waysboth magical and frustrat-ing. It can sometimes feel asif the director is the one lostat sea.

Nevertheless, there ismuch to recommend “On-dine,” Jordan’s love letter toCastletownbere, the fishingvillage on Ireland’s southerncoast where he lives andwhere the film was shot; and

the notion that no matterhow bruised and battered bylife, love is still possible, stillthe answer.

It’s a small film, and there’sa spare, dreamlike qual-ity that’s a departure for awriter-director who tends to-ward densely detailed storiesstuffed with moral complica-tions, “The Crying Game,”“Mona Lisa” and “ MichaelCollins” among them.

Sometimes, the simplicityof the story confounds him,with young Annie (AlisonBarry) saddled with a wheel-chair, a failing kidney andmost of the exposition of thestory, too much to ask of achild.

The mysterious womanat the heart of this tale isOndine, Alicja Bachleda of“Trade,” who’s perfectly castas an ethereal creature thatmay be a selkie, in the wayof mermaids, they are sealsable to transform into se-ductively gorgeous humanswhen the circumstances areright.

There are, as might beexpected, all sorts of stringsattached involving seven

tears, sealskins and long-term commitments.

All Syracuse knows is thatOndine is running fromsomething, that her haunt-ing songs increase his dailycatch and that she seems tobe falling in love with him.Annie is more interestedin a selkie’s wish-grantingpowers, while Syracuse’s ex,Maura (Dervla Kirwan), ismore concerned with whereshe’s sleeping.

Jordan uses the push andpull between real life andlegend to explore ideas of so-cial ills, retribution, justice,family bonds and miraclesin an age in which it seemsthere are none.

For the filmmaker, opti-mism and a happy endingare not things he gives awayeasily, if ever, and there areany number of difficultieshe’s thrown in along the

way, with Ondine’s shadowypast rising up right along-side Syracuse’s to roughthings up.

At times, the narrativeflows beautifully, particu-larly in the growing connec-tion between Syracuse andOndine, the slow reveal ofwho they really are, the deli-cious tension in their tenta-tiveness.

Farrell exposes much withthose dark eyes and waryhesitations. It’s hard notto wish more filmmakerswould tap into that quieter,more vulnerable side.

At other times, the road isrocky when the story speedsup to take care of business,with the end a mad dash totie up loose ends. Still, thereis enough saving grace onthese craggy shores to let themists and the legends roll inand envelop you for a while.

Noah Ringer plays Aang in a scene from “The Last Airbender.”

‘The Last Airbender’:More like a lite version of ‘Avatar’BY KENNETH TURANLos Angeles Times

If ever a film was bornunder a bad sign, “The Last

Airbender” is it. As the blueslyric goes, if it didn’t havebad luck, it wouldn’t haveany kind of luck at all.

Not only does this live-action feature writtenand directed by M. NightShyamalan have to weathercomparisons with the hugelypopular (and DVD-available)animated TV series that in-spired it, it lost the first wordof its title, “Avatar,” whena certain other film used itfirst.

Then “The Last Airbender”irritated fans by changingits trio of heroes from Asianto white and weathered theinevitable suspicion that goeswith both a late conversionto 3-D and a studio decisionto keep the film away fromjournalists and critics untilclose to the last minute.

It would be nice to say thatthis story has a miraculousHollywood ending and that“The Last Airbender” beatthose long odds, but that isnot to be.

Echoing the NickelodeonTV series created by Mi-chael Dante DiMartino andBryan Konietzko, “The LastAirbender” takes us to a self-contained mythic universe

inhabited by four tribal peo-ples: the air nomads, the wa-ter tribe, the earth kingdomand the fire nation. Eachgroup has chosen people init called “benders” who can,yes, bend their particular ele-ment to their will.

In the best of times, thesenations live in harmony un-der the guidance of an avatar,a rare individual who canbend all four elements andkeeps balance in the worldby consulting with animalspirits ordinary folks can’tcommunicate with.

The last 100 years, however,have not been the best oftimes. The avatar has disap-peared, and in his absencethe bellicose fire nation,ruled by the unpleasant FireLord Ozai (New Zealand’sCliff Curtis), has taken itupon itself to attempt to rulethe world.

“Airbender” begins with

Sokka (“Twilight’s” JacksonRathbone) and Katara (Nic-ola Peltz), a young brotherand sister of the Eskimo-likenorthern water tribe. He isan everykid; she is a water-bender still learning to con-trol her powers.

Despite Aang, Katara andSokka being played by whiteactors, “The Last Airbender”retains the Asian feeling ofthe original shows, includingliberal doses of martial arts,tai chi, Buddhist philosophyand Tibetan religion.

Speaking of truisms, it isone of Hollywood’s articlesof faith that films that don’tintentionally hook parentsnever get a chance to pleasekids. With a sequel to thispicture and a possible tril-ogy already in the planningstages, it will be interestingto see if “The Last Air-bender” proves that rule orbreaks it.

Are you looking for thenext great event this

summer? Do you love foodand art? Are you interested inparticipating in an event for agreat cause? This may be theperfect event for you!

From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. July16, Charleston Fine Art Deal-ers’ Association will hold itsfifth annual Palette and Pal-ate Stroll. For $45, patronscan sample food from 12Charleston restaurants whilewandering through art gal-leries to view art.

The event benefits CFADA’sarts scholarship fund, whichhas awarded funds to localorganizations such as Redux,the Gibbes Museum of Artand the College of CharlestonSchool of the Arts.

“For over 10 years now,CFADA’s mission has been toget Charleston acknowledgedas a fine art destination,” saysVladia Jurcova-Spencer ofStylee PR & Marketing.

“With the Palette and PalateStroll, our goal was to create a

fun evening that features lo-cal chefs and artists and raisemoney to support the nextgeneration of local artists.

“When we created thePalette and Palate stroll,we hoped that this eventwould attract even more artand food connoisseurs toCharleston during the slowsummer months when notmuch is happening down-town,” she says. “We knowthat we succeeded as todaypeople travel to Charlestonfor the event from all over theUnited States and Canada.”

The event is a bit like an artwalk, as participants go fromgallery to gallery and seeartwork and mingle with theartists.

Because of it’s limited size,however, the Palette and Pal-ate Stroll provides visitorswith more of an opportunityto meet local talent.

Since its inception in 2005,this event has grown inpopularity.

Tickets are limited and canbe purchased by calling 819-8006 or online at www.cfada.com.

Palette and Palate StrollGalleries and restaurants combine forces for July 16 event

Robin Joseph takes thephrase “being at the

right place at the right time”to a whole new meaning.

On her most recent adven-ture to Tanzania, Africa,Joseph was able to follow ahunt done by three brothersin a tribe. Her photos tellthe story of their lives; theyare filled with emotion, his-tory and the compositionsare breathtaking. Duringthe month of June, Josephwas the featured artist atThe Artist Guild Gallery onEast Bay Street. Her showwas titled, Naipenda Africa(I love Africa) and featuredphotographs from her trav-els. Joseph has been in lovewith taking photographssince she was a child; it wasonly a few years ago that shebegan taking painting class-es at The Studio in WestAshley. Now in addition tohaving a full time career asa professional counselor,she travels the world, takesphotographs and then usesthose photos as inspirationfor her oil paintings. Oneof her goals is to spend timeon every continent in theworld. “I try to put myselfin beautiful and uniqueplaces. Traveling to foreignlands where their customsand lifestyles are differentfrom mine inspires me. Ev-eryday brings a different ad-venture.” To view her work,

At the Dyspeptics Club, when-ever South becomes declarer, hispartner — a man of almost leg-endary impatience and acerbity— puts down his dummy andostentatiously focuses on a spotin the middle distance. His ex-planation is that he does not wantto watch his partner butcher thehand,butsomehowhealwayshasa biting comment ready for thepost-mortem.

Today’s deal was no exception.South played three no-trump bywinning the opening diamondlead cheaply in his hand andplaying two rounds of hearts toEast. That player continued theattackondiamonds,anddeclarerfinessed again, letting West winand clear the suit. Declarer nowrealized that leading a low spade

fromhandtodummy’sjackcouldnot win. His only chance of suc-cess was to find the spade queendoubleton.Buthisluckwasnotin;he emerged with only six tricks.

Before South could claim thathe was unlucky, North inquiredwhethera100percentchancewasnotgoodenoughforhim.Canyousee what he meant?

South should have won the firsttrick with the diamond ace, sac-rificing a potential diamond trickto ensure that he had an entry todummy in diamonds. Now hesimply wins the heart king andleads another heart. By leadinghis low diamond to dummy’s 10at his next opportunity, he can beassured of two diamond tricks,four hearts, and his three black-suit winners.

DEAR ABBY: I am an18-year-old woman and

have been with my fiancefor 2½ years. I love him andcan’t picture my life withouthim. However, over the lastsix months he has becomeemotionally abusive.

He used to treat me great,and now this. I miss howit used to be, and I cryalmost every day. In thepast I always told myself Iwould never put up withsomething like this, butI have been — and it getsharder every day. I know it’snot physical, but emotionalabuse counts for something,right? Or am I overreacting?Please give me some advice.I need to know there IS alight at the end of the tun-nel. — SAD IN LAS VEGAS

DEAR SAD: You’re notoverreacting. What youare experiencing now is apreview of how the rest ofyour life will be if you staywith him. When a partnerbecomes controlling andemotionally abusive, inmost cases it’s only a mat-ter of time until the physi-cal abuse begins. If you’resmart, you will put an endto this NOW.

DEAR ABBY: My momrecently married a man withfour daughters whose up-bringing was very differentfrom mine. Most of the timethe “culture clash” doesn’tbother me, except when weget into trouble.

When I stay out after mycurfew, I am grounded fortwo weeks. When they do it,they get a minor scolding.While I understand that wewere raised with different

standards, I resent it whenmy punishment is worsethan theirs. How can I makethis equal? — ANGRY INTHE WEST

DEAR ANGRY: Yours isa problem that occurs inmany families when they be-come blended, and you areright; the situation is unfair.Family counseling can helpthem arrive at a fair solutionand head off resentmentsbefore they explode.
