		<description><![CDATA[Apologies, because this should have appeared here on Monday - two days ago - but something called &#8216;real work&#8216; kept getting in the way.
We needed something to wrap up Spoleto &#8216;08 nicely, and what else but an acceptance to the Finale Picnic Judging competition.  So Geoff, our intrepid &#8216;video guy&#8217; gamely stepped up to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Spoleto wrapped, I’m left with a blur of memories, impressions and observations on the festival. Here are just a few of them.
An audience member filming Harvard Sailing Team’s opening night with her cellphone, distracting the people sitting behind her (including me) as she emailed the hilarious sketches to her friends…

		<description><![CDATA[Richard Hagerty’s Piccolo Spoleto poster image is a fascinating marriage of family-friendly colors and impish myth. Hagerty has an invitational show at the Corrigan Gallery on Queen Street, and the opening way back on May 15 (which seems like a lifetime ago) was well attended.
I hit the show early expecting it to be fairly quiet. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The musical finale for Piccolo Spoleto Festival 2008 was in Hampton park Saturday evening but the big laughs were at Theatre 99 as improv ruled . Upright Citizens Brigade did their 7:30 show and contributed greatly when they provided zany merriment to the 2-hour Grand Finale at 9:30.  The group,  who has been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very appropriate that my trip upstairs at Mistral for the final of the 12 acts of the Festival Jazz Series would feature Bobbie Storm.  She&#8217;s the ultimate saloon singer.
And it&#8217;s always been in bars where I have seen her around Charleston as she smoothly belted out jazz standards.
I snapped a lot of pictures (no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late one evening, a man was walking back from the store to his home.  Moonlight trickled through tree limbs and Spanish moss like a stained glass canopy.  The air was warm&#8230;and very still.  Even the crickets had gone quiet as if they themselves didn&#8217;t want to disturb the now deafening silence.  [...]]]></description>

The Charleston Artist Guild will also be participating in tonights French Quarter Art Walk (which occur every first Friday of the month) from 5pm to 8pm.

He’s had to deal with switched cast members and a different conductor for the US version of the show; a smaller space and a different configuration to squeeze the extravaganza into the Sottile; and a lot of hype to [...]]]></description>

Last night, I saw them at the Cistern and they did not disappoint. 
The talented trio&#8211;Rhiannon Giddens, Justin Robinson, and Dom Flemons&#8211;bill themselves as an &#8220;African-American String Band,&#8221; and although they are [...]]]></description>
