Hope and Union Coffee makes its new home in the Cannonborough/Elliotborough neighborhood in early November. The Saint Philip Street shop will serve freshly brewed coffee in addition to sweets from area bakeries. Visit the website! Don’t worry most engaging interview and coffee tasting soon to come when I have the time! I think they will open next month.

Melissa Pope (Velvet Salon) and Abigail McCLam (One Respe’ Massage) hosted a great event on Saturday to kick off the openings of both of their new businesses. They cooked oysters in the parking lot, played music and had a raffle where lucky participants won weeks of acupuncture, keratin hair treatments, and massages. Melissa and Abigail were so enthusiastic about their new ventures and the neighborhood that it made for a fantastic night of merriment. Since leasing the spaces at 162 Spring St to these young entrepreneurs, I have had a fabulous massage from Abigail and great hair from Melissa.

Co Owners Diane Colyar and Cyndi Buhle
My listing on the corner of Ashley and Cannon St. in Cannonborough has been transformed into Lowcountry Barbershop! They opened today with business hours Monday thru Friday from 7-6pm and Saturday 8am-1pm. The co-owners Diane Colyar and Cyndi Buhle have been in the business collectively for over 25 years and their move from Broad Street to Cannon St is a major asset to the neighborhood. A barbershop is not just for men, they also do women’s hair but no chemical services at this time. While I was there the duo performed quick and concise hair cuts on several guys while chatting with me about their new business. Their goal is a relaxing shop where folks have a place to hang out, watch the big screen tv, gossip and receive great service. A regular men’s cut is $17.00 and they have a discount for students and seniors with ID. Women’s cuts start at $25. There is a staff of 7 barbers in the shop and they plan to add additional services as things progress including facial shaves and massage by appointment. All said Lowcounrty Barbershop is a wonderful new addition for Elliotborough- Cannonborough as well as downtown Charleston Sc. The charming building is the perfect home and plenty of parking makes for an undeniably convenient and affordable experience.

Art installation at Kulture Klash
Kulture Klash is an biannual arts festival in historic Charleston, SC. For more information go to: http://www.kultureklashartsfestival.com
Last night I had the opportunity to preview the giant 40,000 square feet of warehouse space also located in the Navy Yard at Noisette . This is by far the biggest art show I have ever seen and a completely overwhelming list of simultaneous artistic events will be taking place during the exhibition. Tickets are still being sold, buy one! To say that many of Charleston’s finest artists have gone all out for this event would be an understatement.
Saturday, Nov 7th, 8pm-2am expect to see:
50+ artists on display: (Scroll below for the full list). Massive amounts of art including canvas, wood, metal, sculpture, fabric, photos, acrylic, bike parts, recycled cardboard, lights, video installations, sand, stuffed animals, glue, nails, found objects, graffiti, collage, print making and so much more then we could ever put down on paper.
Live painting collaboration: A 4 x 30+ foot wall painted live by roughly 15 artists during the 6 hour course of Kulture Klash. Come watch how the artists collaborate, collude and interact, stepping on each others toes and conversely bolstering this massive work. Individual slices of the painting will be for sale after completion.
“Starving Artists” exhibit: The show is exactly as it’s named. We have 8 Artists who will be starving themselves (only water/herbal teas) in the event space for 5 days, in order to see how starvation really effects their craft. During the course of the 5 days, each artist is require to create one painting per day. Each artist’s paintings must be the same size, medium, subject matter, and degree of difficulty as the day before. This way the spectator can see the difference. Will the artwork suffer? Or does the elimination of food, alcohol, sugar, refine their talents?
Improv spoken word side stage: This will be a side room complete with couches and a small stage were we are encouraging audience participation, poems on the fly and poetry “battles” for those who are up to the challenge. Hosted by local word master and celebrity poet Marcus Amaker. The completed Starving Artist exhibit will be on display in the background.
Chain Ring Circus: Celebrate the art of cycling with bike polo matches, bike dancing, slow bike races, bike art, bmx ramps, bike movies and general bike enthusiasm.
Photo repository depot by Sully Sullivan: Weird props, backdrops and cut outs. Make some memories… you can even get your grubby hands on the photos you posed for. Sully has a fancy printer. Booyah.
“Hand of Character” booth hosted by Pure Theatre: Rodney Lee Rogers directs a interactive character play incorporating the audience as key players. Channel your inner thespian and make your move.
The Glow Room: Just have to wait and see…
Modern dance: The Power Company will be performing two separate dance pieces choreographed by Marcy Jo Yonkey-Clayton. They will be dabbling with the curiosity of watching and being watched plus a second performance about pushing the boundaries of property lines and personal space.
Live music: Dante’s Camaro – “Rising up from the ashes comes the fastest, dirtiest, most maniacal menagerie or mangled metal the world has yet known!! Riding down the highway to HELL and destroying every bottle of booze in its path, the band that no one wanted to cross will not disappoint.”
Short Shorts – “Sounds like robots… doin’ it. We met in chemistry lab. We brought out lab coats. We made a concoction. We built a monster.
We are Short Shorts.”
The V-Tones - “Sometimes known as a quaint duo, other times a sizzling sextet. We craft our shows to fit the moment so no performance is ever the same. Also known as Charleston’s only ukulele hot club jub band vaudeville ragtime neo-retro-postpostmodern quasi-primetime anachronistic revolutionary anti-inflammatory mass catharsis jazz freakout and philharmonic group therapy session.”
Plus many more booty shakin’ sets by DJ Stella, The Bubble Gut Brothers, Righchus, DJ Jeff ET, Danny Seltzer and DJ Belk.
Drink: Enjoy a cold, delicious beer from New Belgium Brewery or a smooth glass of hand selected wine by Social Wine Bar. We have chosen 2 whites and 2 reds for a larger selection. There will be ample non-alcoholic bevs available.
Eat: Snack on killer hand-tossed pizza baked on site by the boys from D’allesandro’s or get your spice on with some Asian/African infusion from the Street Food cart.
Shuttle: $5 shuttles from downtown, James Island and West Ashley.
They promise: quicker lines, more well lit potties, sweeter security, cold water, plenty of places to sit, more drink ticket stations, an ATM on site, and really fantastic beer and wine. As always, lots of last minute additions to keep you on your toes.
