Sex still sells, maybe even more so in a pandemic
But with sex, there is also the opportunity for“Theexploitation.peoplewho enter (sex work) from a survival standpoint are the most vulnerable,” Robyn said, adding they could take on the wrong client. “Those are the ones we are try ing to shorten that learning curve so we can keep them safe.” S.C. Human Trafficking Task Force coordinator Kathryn Moorehead said there is a known link between natural disasters and human trafficking, which includes forced or coerced sex acts. “These are the conditions that make people the most vulnerable,” she said. “It’s a little early to get a full grasp on it but I do know it’s just priming the situation for people to take advantage of.” But the internet could also keep some sex workers safer: Online communication create a distance from would-be predators, and there is less of a chance for interaction with law enforcement.

Monroe said she began “camming” six years ago, but in recent years, she focused more on photography and live perfor mances. With a saturated market even then, Monroe says it will likely“(But)worsen.noteveryone has a following (to) go from working in a club and just go online. It takes longer to build.

Monroe said she is working with industry colleagues in an effort to buoy social media content too.
As the coronavirus loomed at the beginning of the year, some sex workers, including strip club performers, reported a decline in revenueJanuary,nationwide.February, and the first part of March were also slow for the Silver Slipper. “Girls were scared to come into work and a lot of customers were afraid about visiting a place like that,” operations manager Myron ChinnThat’ssaid.when Monroe dusted off her webcam. “A lot of our clients, they follow my social media that I met in the club just working. They’re at home, too, and they want some connection. So it’s a way for me to still connect with my clients and customers and also to survive in this time,” Monroe said. Strip clubs around the nation are offering dances online, some via Instagram Live, as restrictions leave clubs shuttered for the time being. Some sex workers are selling videos on private, subscription-only website — every thing from the nearly family-friendly to more explicit adult content. In Portland, Ore., one strip club that closed started a topless delivery service, known as Boober Eats. More sex workers predicted Robyn has organized the state’s first chapter of the Sex Workers Outreach Project, a social justice group advocating for legal and illicit sex workers. Still in its infancy, she says she doesn’t expect to have much financial support for this year. The group calls for decriminalization of all sex work, including prostitution. Robyn says there will be more workers entering the industry. Just as access to broadband is determin ing access to education and telehealth in the pandemic, it is determining which workers are able to adapt online, Robyn said.
KIT MONROE SAYS SHE’S MEETING DEMAND ONLINE FOR THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING CONNECTION IN QUARANTINE
The current crisis has the potential to reshape many industries, including sex. Robyn said she expects more sex workers to stay online once the pandemic subsides. But she is also hopeful that the industry will continue, as strong as it has been in the past. “Sex workers have jumped through a lot of hoops in the past but we’ve navigated a lot of terrible things before and we’ll get through this one,” Robyn said. Chinn said he is looking at other, more stable industries surviving the crisis. “Even when they open restaurants and bars, the adult business is going to have a particularly slower start because it requires that the girls be so close to customers,” Chinn said. “The only thing that sustains this business and leaves a lot of people hopeful is that it is the oldest form of entertainment known to man, which means that business has been consistent for years and years … (But) my thinking is that it’s going to be forever changed after all this wraps up.” Ruta Smith
“Any time you have a recession, there is always a demand for sex work. That doesn’t go away even if it’s virtual or over the phone,” says Robyn, a Greenville-based advocate for workers in the sex industry, a catchall term that can include adult performers along with illicit“Thereactivities.arepeople who will joke about taking up sex work with the economy, and there are people who are very serious about taking up sex work because they need to pay their bills,” says Robyn. “Some people enter it because they want to and that’s fine, and other people enter it because of survival.” And the market is out there.
“The more people you connect in your industry, the more you build with each other, the more you go up together,” she said.

Fulfilling Demand
“We are absolutely an outlet,” says one entertainer who goes by Kit Monroe and normally works at the Silver Slipper in Charleston. “Releasing themselves is one way to relax. It’s a coping mechanism and, for a lot of people, we are a coping mechanism.” Monroe says that from her previous club clientele to her growing online customers, she’s looking to fulfill demand and pay the bills.

Everyone is online more, including the dancer at your local strip club. As the economy nosedives, some people are looking to make money and other people are looking for an escape. Even with everyone at home, familiar vices for escapism continue. “A lot of our clients, they follow my social media that I met in the club just working. They’re at home, too, and they want some connection.”
CHARLESTON CITYPAPER 04.29.2020 4 N “We are hearing some troubling questions that lead us to believe that people are misinterpreting a reopening to be resumption of normal activities versus access to critical services.”
“[If numbers drop,] it certainly means a loss of federal funds because a lot of federal funds are based on popu lation,” says West Columbia Democratic Sen. Nikki Setzler, who sits on the Senate Finance Committee. “We are encouraging everybody to sign up.”
South Carolina’s newest congressional district, coastal District 7 — drawn to accommodate the state’s growing population after the 2010 census — has the second lowest self-response rate at 39.9 percent. Only District 6 in the middle of the state fared worse with a 39.3 percent self-response rate. The congressional district with the best response rate so far was the Upstate’s District 5 at 51.4 percent.
“It’s kind of an unprecedented time,” Dickerson says. “It’s taken some of the focus away from the need to finish the census.” Census numbers matter because they are the root data for apportioning money and electoral representa tions for the state and federal government.
With the unprecedented times, we’re trying some thing new this year. Best of Charleston 2020 will be printed over two weeks on June 10 and June 17. Yes, this summer you’ll get two weeks of Best of Charleston for the price of one (still free).

If the 2010 census was any measure, April should have been peak self-response time for the 2020 census, according to Dennis Dickerson, head program manager of the Health and Demographic Division for the S.C. Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office, which is the lead state agency for the census. So far, South Carolina’s self-response rate is at 46.7 percent. The final self-response rate in 2020 was 64.7 percent. After a self-response period (held either online or mail-in), census workers begin hitting the streets to gather up more responses. That secondary effort has been delayed until after June 1 in response to the Nationwide,pandemic.there has been a 50.7 percent response rate, putting South Carolina in the bottom of the selfresponse rate pack.
CENSUS GETS MUTED RESPONSE IN PALMETTO STATE

What takes only minutes to complete but the results last a decade? The U.S. census. But so far, it seems participa tion in the 2020 census is muted due to the pandemic.
With several bills in the state house seeking to decriminalize marijuana posses sion, S.C. could be in a position to change statistics like this. Democratic state Rep. Rosalyn Henderson-Myers from Spartanburg, whose marijuana decriminalization bill was introduced in January, notes the personal way some marijuana arrests can affect individuals.
“A lot of times employers won’t hire anybody that has a drug history, even if it’s a simple possession,” she says. “The mechanisms that we have in order for people to pull themselves out of poverty and to have a better station in life are barriers because they may have a [charge of] simple possession of marijuana.”
One key point to the ACLU report is data that shows, while white and black people use marijuana at similar rates, African Americans are arrested for possession more than three times as often as white individuals. South Carolina saw a 25 percent increase in racial disparities in marijuana arrests between 2010 and 2018. — Heath Ellison Gettyimages.com
God’s Hot Dog Ministry, a free service that provides warm meals to the homeless, and Hope to Home Furniture Resource, a furniture provider for individuals that have recently secured a place to live, will be honored with the 2020 Homeless to Hope Award. An estimated 4,172 people are homeless in South Carolina, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness reported in 2019. Over 12,000 stu dents experienced homelessness over the course of the 2017-218 school year. Homeless individuals are experienc ing new struggles during the COVID19 pandemic, as well. The Center for Disease Control notes that the homeless are a particularly vulner able group. Many are older, have low access to medical care, and will not be able to follow hygiene consistent with the CDC’s recommendations, among other problems. — Heath Ellison WITH DECRIMINALIZATION BILLS PENDING, SC SECOND-HIGHEST FOR MARIJUANA ARRESTS
According to the S.C. Treasurer’s Office, each year $675 billion in federal funds are distributed to state and local governments to support numerous activities that take place in South Carolina. Part of the federal funds make up about one-third of state spending.
The telethon will include perfor mances from Charlton Singleton, Shovels & Rope, Manny Houston, Lee Barbour, Kanika Moore, and plenty of other local and national artists.
Field data collection operations and self-response will be completed by Oct. 31. The U.S. Census Bureau said it will deliver results to the President by April 30, 2021, with redistricting data to be delivered to the states no later than July 31, 2021. — Lindsay Street
BEST OF CHARLESTON 2020 WILL PUBLISH (TWICE!) IN JUNE
Henderson-Myers’ bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, where two other decriminalization bills have sat since early 2019. All three bills call for a similar tactic: decriminalize the possession of 28 grams of marijuana or less. In addition, the bill allows officers to issue a civil citation instead of an arrest if no violent offense was committed alongside possession.
In 2018, the Homeless to Hope Benefit Concert began as a way to raise support for the foundation every year. While a traditional benefit concert was originally planned for 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed the concert to different avenues.
You should be reading the City Paper ’s annual Best of Charleston 2020 issue right now. We had April 29 circled on the calendar for our biggest issue of the year and blowout party. But in the current public health and economic climate, we need to postpone our yearly celebration of Charleston’s local favorites until we can all enjoy it together.
The report, which found large racial disparities in arrests for simple possession, shows the state with the second-highest rate of arrests, with Chester County having the highest rate of any county in the nation. Laurens, Kershaw, Newberry, Darlington, and Colleton counties are also in the top 20 nationally.
TELETHON WILL HELP RAISE MONEY FOR HOMELESS
The Homeless to Hope Fund began life in 2016 to assist homeless individuals and families throughout Charleston, Summerville, North Charleston, and Mt. Pleasant.
The Mayor’s Commission on Homelessness and Affordable Housing (MCHAH) will host a telethon on May 8. The Homeless to Hope Benefit Telethon will run between 12 and 8 p.m. on a variety of outlets, including radio, local TV news, and social media. Proceeds will benefit the Homeless to Hope Fund, which supports services that help individuals transitioning out of homelessness. Donations will go to the Navigation Center, a resource center for people experiencing homelessness.
South Carolina was pinned as the second-highest in the nation for marijuana posses sion arrests in a new study from the American Civil Liberties Union released April 20.
It is unlikely that the measures will be taken up during the current legislative ses sion, cut short from COVID-19. Bills pending at the end of session will need to be refiled next year.
“My thoughts were basically to ensure that we try to come up with a solution for our jail overcrowding,” Henderson-Myers says. “[It’s] also a way to make sure that a person isn’t unfairly affected because they might have a small amount of marijuana. And then they can’t find a job, they can’t get public housing, they can’t get federal student loans. It was basically a way to make sure the person got a fresh start.”

After police offered to take one highly intoxicated woman home from a down town store, she reportedly ran into the middle of the street, stood on a yellow line, and attempted to give herself a field sobriety test. She fell multiple times, and even the officers told her that she was only showing how drunk she really was.
A woman forgot her Motorola G-7 at a grocery store in West Ashley, after setting it on a counter to pay. When she returned, she was surprised to find it missing. To be honest, we are too.

O’ THE WEEK Birthday celebrations ran afoul when the birthday boy refused to leave his mother’s house over not receiving the gift he had asked for. Police were called, and the man repeatedly said they would have to arrest him and “lock him up” because he wasn’t going anywhere. The report doesn’t mention anyone’s age, which usually means everyone is an adult, but we really aren’t sure about this one.
The Blotter is taken from reports filed with the Charleston Police Department between April 11 and April 19. No one described in this section has been found guilty, just unlucky.
Police received a call about a 2019 Dodge Challenger missing all four of its rims near a West Ashley highway. After checking security footage from a nearby camera, they watched one man remove the lug nuts, fail to remove the rims, leave the area, and come back in a Ford Mustang with two friends. You have to hand it to this guy, when the going got tough, he got backup. While sitting in her down town residence, a woman heard the sound of glass breaking. After investigat ing the sound, she saw a softball sized rock, her neighbor’s window broken, and heard the sound of children laughing while running away. We’re all scared and kids are com mitting vandalism — it’s always Halloween during COVID-19 season.

Millions in local dollars at stake in SC’s census response
Some South Carolina counties where populations have dropped over the last decade face significant cutbacks. Estimates from the state Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office last year showed Sumter, Florence, and Orangeburg counties taking the biggest hits. One Florence County leader said the estimated $300,000 that the county is expected to lose could be the difference as to whether employees get cost-of-living pay increases. Closer to home, fast-growing areas like inland Charleston County, along with Berkeley and Dorchester counties, stand to get more resources to meet demand in the swelling suburbs.

OUR VIEW O
ne of the most consequential things South Carolina residents will do in 2020 will be respond to the cen sus. It’s far from the first thing on any of our minds today, of course, but the census has far-reaching impacts on aspects of our daily lives. Who represents you in government, new roads and schools, and, yes, disaster preparedness are all determined by the official population count. Right now, less than half of South Carolinians have responded. That’s a shame. Every 10 years, the federal government counts everyone who lives in the United States. This year, Americans can respond via mail and, for the first time, online. The agency gives annual estimates for years between censuses, but for the 10-year count, there’s no fudging the numbers. You are counted or not, and that translates into millions of dollars that flow to state and local governments. In 2016, census-based population estimates served as the basis for more than $13 billion in federal funding for South Carolina, according to a National Conference of State Legislatures report.
Let’s Count
PUBLISHER Andy Brack
Serving Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, and every place in between.
Here in Charleston, we’ve obviously seen tremendous change since the last census was taken in 2010. The city has leveraged its reputation as a tourism destination to draw thousands of new residents, which means more dollars for local programs. But not all areas have been fortunate to see the same amount of growth.
Editor:EDITORIAL Sam Spence Staff: Skyler Baldwin, Heath Ellison, Connelly Hardaway, Lauren Hurlock, Parker Milner, Lindsay Street Cartoonist: Steve Stegelin
The census also quite literally has a significant impact on democracy in South Carolina, as districts are redrawn every 10 years based on the new census population. Unfortunately, our Republican-controlled state government has not shown a commitment to getting an accurate count in 2020. As other states spend millions of dollars on outreach to boost response rates, South Carolina has budgeted nothing. In our state’s rural, minority, and immigrant communities, populations that already go undercounted, people who need the money most will go without. And the political status quo will continue. You’ve got a little more time to complete the census this year due to COVID-19; but in the light of the importance of coordinated federal programs we’ve seen in recent weeks, an accurate census count may be even more important than we realized. Respond today at 2020census.gov.

For South Carolina, programs with funding based on the census include Medicaid, the state children’s health insurance program, and WIC. Essential safety net programs like these are even more important to residents of our state who are forced to make ends meet with low wages and little additional help from state programs.

Help for immigrants not receiving a stimulus check or unemployment
However, there is one group of taxpayers that will not be receiving stimulus money or unemployment assistance: the many hard-working undocumented immigrants throughout our state and nation. Many of them do pay federal income taxes, but despite their economic contribution, they will not be included in the economic relief. They will be one of the groups that is hardest hit from this pandemic, of course. Many work in restau rants that have either closed or cut back. Many more labor in other service capacities that have stopped work. These individuals cannot obtain unemployment assistance. Still, others are continuing to work hard in essential businesses. However, most are not part of the middle to upper class economic group that can work virtually from home. Some other areas across the country are step ping up to help. Minneapolis has set up a fund for undocumented families. The state of California is providing $500 to undocu mented individuals.
It is time for the state of South Carolina, and the cit ies of Charleston and North Charleston in particular, to consider similar action.
I would hope that during this time, we become a little bit more empathetic. Those of us who were privileged enough to be born in the first world have recently experienced just a tiny amount of the des peration and turmoil that many migrants have faced their entire lives. We get angry when we have limitations placed on us leaving our houses for a few weeks. Imagine constantly living in a state of poverty and volatility and being told that you can never leave that situation because you are forever tied to your place of birth, like serfs in the Middle Ages.
Let’s find creative ways both on a personal and a communal level to make sure that some of the most vulnerable among us are not forgotten during this crisis.
Those of us who were privileged enough to be born in the first world have recently experienced just a tiny amount of the desperation and turmoil that many migrants have faced their entire lives.

This month, most Americans are receiving a stimulus check, about $1,200 per person and $500 per child. These funds are sorely needed by the many who have fallen on hard times due to the coronavirus-related economic shut down. Millions are also receiving unemployment. The assistance may not be enough to remedy all the economic turmoil, but it will be a temporary lifeline for many.
They are people whose livelihoods have been taken away due to govern ment policies, and while they may be necessary, are bringing unimaginable economic difficulty. Regardless of their immigration status, people still have to feed their families.

Anyway, fast forward to yesterday, I mentioned CELEBRITY during a Zoom call and when I went back to the pantry I found yet another pack of PANDEMIC ESSENTIAL . Then, only after playing a few SOCIAL NETWORK videos from my conspiracy-obsessed TYPE OF RELATIVE that took CELEBRITY to task over this whole pandemic and finding yet another pack of PANDEMIC ESSENTIAL in the bedroom, I realized: CELEBRITY is the patron saint of PANDEMIC ESSENTIAL . ~Your Friend
Fill in each of the blank spaces with the words from your list on page 10. Some words repeat in the story.
Letter from a friend in quarantine How’s it hanging, friend? I can’t believe how long it’s been since NAME OF FRIEND ’s KIND OF PARTY party that we’ve seen each other. Through most of this ADJECTIVE quarantine, I’ve sat in my favorite PIECE OF FURNITURE — the one over in the PLACE IN YOUR HOUSE — pretending to work from home. Though in reality, I’ve been trying to get my mind around something. I’ll tell you, but please don’t VERB or tell NAME OF FRIEND . They’ll of course think I’m crazy.
On Monday, after returning from my weekly resupply trip to GROCERY STORE with bags full of essentials (you know, TRENDY GROCERY ITEM and LOCAL BEER ), I realized I forgot PANDEMIC ESSENTIAL Spouting off a few choice words and praying to our lord CELEBRITY (that line was NUMBER LARGER THAN 10 minutes long!), I returned to finish unpacking my bags and discovered, lo and behold I found a single pack of PANDEMIC ESSENTIAL . Weird, guess I did get it. What a INSULTING NICKNAME , I thought.

DAILY Prints in Clay
Mt. Pleasant’s Savi Cucina + Wine Bar hosts a virtual wine tasting this Thursday, led by a guided sommelier, who will take your tastebuds through a tour of four Italian wines. Order a to-go tasting kit, which includes 2 oz. of each wine, plus access to the Facebook Live event. You’ll hear from special guests and get the chance to ask questions of Savi’s certified sommelier.
The Gaillard Center has released two parts of their 2018 program, Prints in Clay, a multifaceted project that featured collabs with several commu nity groups, exploring the contributions of African Americans to Charleston’s history and culture. Prints in Clay: A Visual Exhibit features a collec tion of South Carolina photographers telling the story of the Slave Dwelling Project, a nonprofit led by Joe McGill that works to identify and assist in preserving extant slave dwellings. The Gaillard now also offers access to the Prints in Clay concert, Still, We Rise!
A Spirituals Celebration. Spirituals are the primary musical focus of the concert, including several compositions by Wycliffe Gordon, “Still, We Rise!” and “He Heard My Cry.” gaillardcenter.org
The Miller Gallery presents a virtual release of artwork by Miles Purvis this Saturday at 10 a.m. Her series of original collages, which she’s created during the quarantine, start at just $150. She started making these face collages during a difficult time in her life, utilizing pieces of cut up clothes that no longer served her. “Especially now, in times like this,” Purvis says, “it is important to remember that in dark times, amazing things can come.”
THURSDAY
The Sea Island Farmers Market on Johns Island is still operating every Saturday, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. The folks at the market say that they’re careful to concentrate on being a food access point, not a gathering/social izing area.

“I’m used to this mentality,” says Mia Loia, “you’ve gotta keep your butt in motion if you want to stay afloat.” Loia, a freelance illustrator and designer, is the developer of children’s programming at Redux Contemporary Art Center. She’s also an artist partner with local nonprofit Engaging Creative Minds, which has her visiting area schools for a variety of programming. Needless to say, all of those school programs — what Loia describes as a “huge” source of income — have been canceled. She says she feels lucky that she has money in savings. Like Loia, local artist Andrew King knows the importance of getting to work. While he admits he’s “currently stifled,” he’s pushing through. “I understand my creative process enough where I know that I just have to keep going into the studio even when I don’t know exactly what I’m working on,” he says.
A recent national COVID-19 survey of artists and creative workers, done by Americans for the Arts (AFTA), found that 95 percent of American artists have experi enced income loss, with the average decline in estimated total annual income hovering at just over $27,000. That survey also notes that 80 percent of artists surveyed do not yet have a plan to recover from the crisis.
Artist Anne Abueva has done her best to manage expectations during this strange time. “One of my teachers years ago said to work within your energy level,” she says.

Deckman, too, has had great responses from her clients; she’s currently offering “pandemic portrait” rates through the Miller Gallery, effectively supporting the gallery and creating art for people who can’t afford full-price work right now.
Artist Julia Deckman joins Loia and King in the “get it done” mentality. “The way I cope with most challenges is by making lists and keeping as busy as possible,” she says.
Most Charleston artists are cut from the same cloth. They’re the kinds of folks who can bend and not break, who are used to being self-sufficient. These artists create work and sell pieces — but they often have other gigs too, working part time at local arts and crafts stores, or leading the educational efforts of local organizations. In other words, they know how to hustle. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine forced artists out of rented studio spaces and into their homes. Like the rest of us, they’ve navigated the work-from-home model as best they can. When working for yourself, though, there’s no guaranteed pay check every two weeks — you’ve got to make art to make rent.

Sure, they may make up part of that 80 percent of national artists who don’t have a solid plan for the future. But they’re making the most of right now. “Just get through one thing,” says Loia. “It seems impossible until it’s done.”

While the stats are grim, Charleston artists are persevering, learning how to capitalize on social media and other outlets to connect with customers. Kristin Mein, of Kaypea Jewelry, says that she was “blown away” by the support of her customers after posting a new collection online. The collection ended up selling out. “While I still get a little nervous every time I go to release another collection, I just keep telling myself that if I make beautiful things, people will buy them,” she says.

The film reminds me of some of Wong Kar-wai’s more mainstream films like Chungking Express and In the Mood for Love. The love and tragedy within the film are not of the loud and demonstrative kind we normally see. All the characters, including secondary ones, are richer characters than we may be used to.

So as a sentient sofa dealing with people sitting on you all day, you’re probably feeling a slew of emotions. Some emo tions are, considering your lack of mobility, probably a little homicidal. Even the title of Killer Sofa is wonderful because it is truth in Francesca,advertising.beleaguered by guys who won’t leave her alone, soon finds herself in possession of a recliner that contains a Dybukk — the spirit of one of her dedicated, obsessed weirdos. There are homicide detectives named Gravy and Grape. An older gentleman has a vision after touching the recliner. This movie is absurd in the best kind of way (only slightly less absurd than the killer tire film, Rubber). This movie, available on Amazon and YouTube, had no business being this fun.
In a press release, North Charleston Pops! music director and conductor Nick Palmer says: “As we come out of this social distancing time, music will bring us together to heal the challenges we have been facing. For our 2020-2021 season, love is definitely in the air as we feature the orchestra with romantic music to stir your soul and imagination.” Here’s a look at what to expect:

Tigertail Alan Yang’s Tigertail is another Netflix property that has tiger in the title but has nothing to do with horrible humans doing horrible things.
Pin-Jui, a Taiwanese factory worker, leaves his homeland and the love of his life to seek a better life in America. From there, we follow the toll his decisions have taken on him, his relationship with his daughter, and the resulting desire to pursue the dreams he once ignored.
Tigertail is visually beautiful and quietly wistful. If you don’t mind reading your film, I can’t recommend it enough. You’ll get swept up in the film’s lowkey grandeur.
Beastie Boys Story King Ad Rock (aka Adam Horovitz) and Michael Diamond (aka Mike D) stand before a live studio audience and talk about friendship and being Beastie Boys with the late Adam Yauch (MCA). In a nutshell, that’s it. While Apple TV’s film does go through the self congrat ulatory check list of all of the key moments of the Beastie Boys, for this fanboy, it’s more than that. A lot of that has to do with the creative force directing the whole shebang, Mr. Being John Malkovich himself, Spike Jonze. As you would expect, the background music keeps the storytelling alive but more than anything it is Horovitz and Diamond’s animated recollections of their triumphs, regrets, and failures that keep things moving. From an objective standpoint, it’s like the filmed stage monologues that Spaulding Gray was known for. I got choked up listening to Horovitz reflect on Yauch. I really enjoyed this but it’s also tugging at my nostalgia strings so my bias for the band and what they helped usher in creatively is so high that I don’t know if my rose colored glasses are still stuck to my face. Would it win over any new fans? Maybe. For those who have an undying love for the trio, stay through the credits. On an unrelated but totally related point, there is a book out there titled Beastie Boys Book that makes for a nice companion piece to the movie.

Here’s what to watch after you’ve binged Tiger King
As we continue to social distance the shit out of each other, we find more and more options for our viewing pleasure online. Here are but four gems I came across in my virtual travels.
As awesomely awful as Tiger King ’s main characters were, there was a minor character on that shitshow circus that I was really curious about. Luckily, a random YouTube suggestion led me to Michael Cain and Matt Radecki’s 2006 rapid fire TMI documentary, TV Junkie Remember Rick Kirkham, Tiger King ’s videographer? Well, in TV Junkie we’re given a more expansive, more harrow ing backstory of Kirkham before Joe Exotic was even on his radar. From minute one, it’s established that once he got a still camera as a kid, Kirkham documented everything he did in whatever medium he had on hand — over 3,000 hours of stuff. With very little narration, we’re there watching as a 14-year-old Kirkham experiments with his camera. He films his vacations, the mundane stuff, his sexual exploits, his interactions with celebrities, himself working as a correspondent on the set of Inside Edition, and eventually he films himself crashing and burning into a crack cocaine nightmare.
• GOTTA LOVE IT! WITH TAKE3, APRIL 24 : Did someone say genre-defying trio? That’s Take3, an all-female band that puts their “roof-raising energy” into tunes from flicks and TV shows like Pirates of the Caribbean, Pulp Fiction, and Game of Thrones. — Connelly Hardaway MEYER VOGL HOSTS ONLINE ART AUCTION You can now head online to peruse over 80 works of art from Charleston artists at 32auctions.com/artistsforfeedtheneed.Thisfundraiserwillbenefit Feed the Need and Pay It Forward, local organiza tions comprised of farmers, restaurants, and community members working to feed F&B workers in need during the coronavi rus pandemic. This auction was organized by Meyer Vogl Gallery, and over 80 Charleston artists have donated their work. Each piece has a starting bid price, with the actual value of the piece labeled below that. If you want to skip the business of bidding, you can choose to outright buy the piece (at a still-discounted cost).

Once the movie starts, you can’t look away as the sometimes lik able, sometimes loathsome Kirkham descends into a hell of his own making. Available on virtually every platform but Netflix, the flick is an exhausting, cautionary tale. If you loved or were fascinated by Tiger King, there’s a good chance you’ll be engrossed by all 104 minutes of this doc.
TV Junkie Have you seen that show on Netflix called Tiger King ? Me too. What a bunch of sociopathic nuts those folks are.
AMOR HEALING KITCHEN HOSTS ‘SEED TO SOUL’ DINNER
a la carte
To order bread from The Drifter, message @thedrifterchs on Instagram or visit thedrifterchs.com.
BY PARKER MILNER Michael Zentner is spending his time baking while on furlough from Charleston Grill. But, the chef de cuisine isn’t dabbling in basic, no-knead recipes like the rest of us. With his wife Courtney, the couple is using their sabbatical to open The Drifter, a bread-making company serving the Charleston area. “During this quarantine time, we started to get creative with something Mike knew a lot about,” Courtney says. “We started cooking bread for our neighbors in Wagener Terrace. We decided to put the idea in the ‘I Live in Wagener Terrace’ Facebook group, and we had 30 orders for bread in the first week. In the couple weeks since then, we’ve had over 250 orders.” The influx of orders led to a 60-day lease at KTCHeN, the North Charleston commis sary kitchen shared by a handful of local food trucks and Althoughcaterers.thisisn’t exactly where he pictured himself, Michael Zentner said it’s the continuation of a passion for bread he developed while working at the Knob Hill Inn in Sunrise, Idaho, in 2006. “I started a bread program where I would make nine breads per week,” Michael says. “In the years since, I worked at places where I baked my own brioche and focac cia. I always kind of stuck my nose in there and tried to learn as much as I could. I love pasta and I feel like that’s very similar to making bread,” he says.
The Zentners’ current offerings include Italian white bread, sourdough batard, garlic rosemary focaccia, and a whole wheat loaf seeded with flax, sunflower, and chia. Each bread is made with organic flour, mixed by hand (gloved, of course). Right now, the Zentners are focused solely on making bread, but they hope to expand the concept.

“I work in design and creative consulting, and Mike and I have always wanted to col laborate professionally,” Courtney says. “From the beginning, we wanted to offer workshops given the draw of Charleston for large groups of people. Whether it’s us coming into your home to cook bread or a whole meal, we had the idea to cater to smaller groups of people in an intimate way.” Such an expansion may be on hold as they work out initial kinks and wait for COVID19 cases to decrease, but Michael hopes it’s a possibility down the road. “I want to be able to do tons of different things and not be held back. Consulting, dinner parties, teaching. The whole premise of The Drifter is built on the ability to be nimble.” So, what happens when the Charleston Grill reopens? The Zentners aren’t thinking that far just yet, given the uncertainty sur rounding the coronavirus. “The real question is what if this pandemic keeps us out of work until the end of the year?” Michael asks. “I have to take care of my family. Our lease [at KTCHeN] is for 60 days, so we are just taking it day by day. It’s great to have something to take our minds off of what’s going on around us.”

Furloughed Charleston chef starts bread-baking venture
The Drifter has given him an outlet to attempt even more experimentation. “We’re going to offer specialty breads weekly that will change like the menu of a restaurant would,” says Courtney. “Right now, all of our orders are coming in through Instagram, Facebook, or email through our website, so we’ve been able to make real relationships with our customers. We are trying to listen to what they are looking for.”
“During this quarantine time, we started to get creative with something Mike knew a lot about. We started cooking bread for our neighbors in Wagener Terrace.”
“It all started with a text conversation with my friend Tomas Prado from Spanglish,” explains Steve Seguin, who started the petition to create a “Hospitality Workers National Appreciation Day.” Seguin, who worked at Lewis Barbecue and Juan Luis, Wild Olive, and The Grocery before becoming the manager at Beech on Daniel Island, says this is another way to rally people together during the corona virus“Hospitalitypandemic.is in our bones. We take great pride in nourishing our fellow men and women,” says Seguin in the petition. “I believe it is time to give the hospitality workers of the world their own day.

Kneading Dough
—Courtney Zentner
Last year, Charleston nonprofit Amor Healing Kitchen held their first annual Seed to Soul dinner benefiting their mis sion to provide nutritious meals to those recovering from surgery and other medical treatments at the Sweetgrass Garden on Johns Island. The coronavirus is squashing any hopes of holding another social event, but founder and executive director Maria Kelly is still bringing this locally curated meal to the homes of local Charlestonians. Families looking to celebrate mom can purchase a ticket for the four course dinner online. Along with their meal from Amor Healing Kitchen chef Justin Booher, diners will receive South Carolina flow ers from Roadside Blooms, a handmade kitchen candle, and a video with tips for setting the table.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Is there an area of your life where you would like a do-over? A chance to cancel the past and erase lingering messiness and clear a path for who-knows-what new possibil ity? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to prepare — not to actually take the leap, but rather make yourself ready for the leap. You will have God and fate and warm fuzzy vibes on your side as you dare to dream and scheme about a fresh start. Any mistakes you committed once upon a time could become irrelevant as you fantasize practically about a future breakthrough.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When was the last time you researched the intricacies of what you don’t like and don’t desire and don’t want to become? Now is a favorable time to take a thorough inventory. You’ll generate good fortune for yourself by naming the following truths: 1. goals and dreams that are distractions from your primary mission; 2. attitudes and approaches that aren’t suitable for your temperament and that don’t contribute to your maximum health; 3. people and influences that are not in alignment with your highest good.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the coming weeks, I’d love to see you get excited about refining and upgrading the ways you communicate. I don’t mean to imply that you’re a poor communicator now; it’s just that you’re in a phase when you’re especially empowered to enhance the clarity and candor with which you express yourself. You’ll have an uncanny knack for knowing the right thing to say at the right moment. You’ll generate blessings for yourself as you fine-tune your listening skills. Much of this may have to happen online and over the phone, of course. But you can still accomplish a lot!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s time to work your way below the surface level of things, Libra; to dig and dive into the lower reaches where the myster ies are darker and richer; to marshal your courage as you go in quest of the rest of the story. Are you willing to suspend some of your assumptions about the way things work so as to become fully alert for hidden agendas and dormant potentials? Here’s a piece of advice: Your fine analytical intelligence won’t be enough to guide you through this enigmatic terrain. If you hope to get face to face with the core source, you’ll have to call on your deeper intuition and non-rational hunches.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If I asked you to hug and kiss yourself regularly, would you think I was being too cute? If I encouraged you to gaze into a mirror once a day and tell yourself how beautiful and interesting you are, would you say, “That’s too woo-woo for me.” I hope you will respond more favor ably than that, Aquarius. In fact, I will be praying for you to ascend to new heights of self-love between now and May 25. I will be rooting for you to be unabashed as you treat yourself with more compas sionate tenderness than you have ever dared to before. And I do mean EVER!
By Rob Brezsny
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I predict that you will have more flying dreams than usual in the coming weeks — as well as more dreams in which you’re traveling around the world in the company of rebel angels and dreams in which you’re leading revolu tionary uprisings of oppressed people against tyran nical overlords and dreams of enjoying eight-course gourmet feasts with sexy geniuses in the year 2022. You may also, even while not asleep, well up with outlandish fantasies and exotic desires. I don’t regard any of these likelihoods as problematical. In fact, I applaud them and encourage them. They’re healthy for you!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Now is an excellent time to take inventory of your integrity. You’re likely to get crucial insights if you evaluate the state of your ethics, your authenticity, and your compassion. Is it time to boost your commitment to a noble cause that transcends your narrow self-interest? Are there ways you’ve been less than fully fair and honest in your dealings with people? Is it possible you have sometimes failed to give your best? I’m not saying that you are guilty of any of those sins. But most of us are indeed guilty of them, at least now and then. And if you are, Leo, now is your special time to check in with yourself — and make any necessary adjustments and corrections.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In your efforts to develop a vibrant community and foster a vital network of connections, you have an advantage. Your emotionally rich, nurturing spirit instills trust in people. They’re drawn to you because they sense you will treat them with care and sensitivity. On the other hand, these fine attributes of yours may some times cause problems. Extra-needy, manipulative folks may interpret your softness as weakness. They might try to exploit your kindness to take advantage of you. So the challenge for you is to be your gen erous, welcoming self without allowing anyone to violate your boundaries or rip you off. Everything I just said will be helpful to meditate on in the coming weeks, as you reinvent yourself for the future time when the coronavirus crisis will have lost much of its power to disrupt our lives.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky believed that the cleverest people are those who regularly call themselves fools. In other words, they feel humble amusement as they acknowledge their failings and ignorance—thereby paving the way for creative growth. They steadily renew their commitment to avoid being know-italls, celebrating the curiosity that such blessed innocence enables them to nurture. They give them selves permission to ask dumb questions! Now is a favorable time for you to employ these strategies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1855, Geminiborn Walt Whitman published his book of poetry Leaves of Grass. A literary critic named Rufus Wilmot Griswold did not approve. In a review, he derided the work that would eventually be regarded as one of America’s literary masterpieces. “It is impossible to imagine how any man’s fancy could have conceived such a mass of stupid filth,” Griswold wrote, adding that Whitman had a “degrading, beastly sensuality” driven by “the vilest imaginings.” Whitman’s crafty Gemini intelligence responded ingeniously to the criticism. In the next edition of Leaves of Grass, the author printed Griswold’s full review. It helped sell even more books! I invite you to consider compa rable twists and tricks.
DUNE BUG Plenty of enthusiasm for just about everything including training. Ready to love. Call (843) www.pethelpers.org795-1110,
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I always hesitate to advise Aries people to slow down, be more deliber ate, and pay closer attention to boring details. The Rams to whom I provide such counsel may be rebel liously annoyed with me — so much so that they move even faster, and with less attention to the details. Nevertheless, I’ll risk offering you this advi sory right now. Here’s my reasoning, which I hope will make the prospect more appealing: If you com mit to a phase in which you temporarily invoke more prudence, discretion, and watchfulness than usual, it will ultimately reward you with a specific opportu nity to make rapid progress.
Bonus: All the wild action transpiring in your psyche may prompt you to generate good ideas about fun adventures you could embark on once the coronavirus crisis has ebbed.

The sparse volume indeed makes for an interesting and insightful listen, especially with it being bound up in the current state of affairs. Not surprisingly, this particular body of work holds a special meaning. DeLuca says this is the first time that he’s ever put out music that is completely his own.

He Who Shuns the Light
Fans of DeLuca’s earlier, darker output don’t need to panic. This endeavor merely marks an extension of the musical space he normally inhabits. “Heavy music will always be first and foremost in my heart for the sheer intensity it creates in a live setting,” DeLuca explains. “There’s no other energy like it. But I’ve been slowly developing an appreciation for music that is sonically soft or sedate, with a heavy vibe lyrically, and I wanted to see what I could come up with in that vein.”
The title of the record is indicative of DeLuca’s own determination, but it also knowingly reflects the time in which it arrives. “A common theme in the music I’ve written over the past few years has been ‘courage in the face of adversity,’ more or less. This batch of songs is no different. Given the timing of everything going on I thought it was appropriate, and I was hoping it might inspire other people to have hope when they are feeling hopeless.”
“I’ve always been a fly-by-the-seat-of-mypants kind of person, for better or worse, so planning for the future is a challenge for me,” he says. “All I know is that I will keep doing the damn thing in whatever fashion I’m able, hoping that it affects as many people as I can connect with in a positive way.”
Ruta Smith SOLO MATERIAL IS LARGELY ABOUT “COURAGE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY”
—CJ DeLuca
The recording process itself, DeLuca says, was a “super-chill” affair. “I did it all with my longtime friend, former bandmate, and brother-from-another-mother, Nate Dominy of Prayer Group, on his Tascam tape recorder at his house in Richmond. Being that it was mostly acoustic it was one of the more simplistic and smooth recording sessions I’ve ever been a part of. Plus, Nate and his wife Rachel are absolutely phenom enal human beings and graciousoughtEventually,hosts.”theretobeampleopportunityforDeLucatoperform
“Speaking in very broad strokes here, this collection of songs is all about staring the darkest moments of your life in the face, accepting them for what they are, and pushing forward.”
CJ DeLuca refuses to give in on new EP Resilience
the lyrics, there is plenty of ambient noise enveloping DeLuca’s plaintive vocals. “As far as this stuff is concerned, in terms of my influences, there’s a little bit of Chelsea Wolfe, a dash of quieter Danzig moments, some Tyler Childers, King Dude, Neurosis, and a little American Football. I was trying to tap into things that I like but have never really emulated until now.”
“It’s a big step outside of my comfort zone that is both terrifying and exciting at the same time,” he says. “Speaking in very broad strokes here, this collection of songs is all about staring the darkest moments of your life in the face, accepting them for what they are, and pushing forward.”

CJ DELUCA’S NEWEST
Charleston-based musician CJ DeLuca is perhaps best known for his work in the punk and post-hardcore world as a member of two locally celebrated groups: Drunk Couples and Florida Man. However, a little over a year ago he started dabbling with more contemplative themes as a songwriter, an exercise that led him to create six haunt ing tunes comprising his solo EP, Resilience, out on May 4.
In spite of this musical milestone, DeLuca admits that he is not going to rest for very long. After this, he’s going to turn his atten tion toward a new industrial music enterprise already in the works, and he promises to keep writing songs for all of his projects.
these stunning tunes in intimate settings, but for now that type of in-person experience remains impossible. DeLuca says he’ll be ready to do some small solo tours “whenever live music is a thing again.”
INDIE ROCK | Beach Tiger
THE BRIDGE “Quality Rock, True Variety”
RELEASED A NEW EP In these trying times, don’t we all need a good dose of calm? Niecy Blues’ latest EP, released April 22, just might do the trick. CRY, her new three track project, feels like floating on a cloud. It’s airy and celestial with a healthy dose of haunting vocals. Each track on the album consists of unusual and intentional musical choices from beautiful piano melodies, to minimal background noise as a backdrop to the layers and layers of angelic harmonies. The EP’s first track, “CRY!” is an emo tional tune mixing a chorus of vocals with beautiful piano melodies. The dissonance in the chords strikes a balance between eerie and peaceful. The whispery tone towards the end of the track gives it a ghostly feel, which is extended throughout the other two songs. Those tracks “painted seats (for domo)” and “keep goin, black girl ur not far” have a similar composure but oppose each other in a natural way. The former track produces a sound full of reverberation; it feels like floating at the bottom of the ocean. There’s very little musical background, just layers of harmonies and sound. The last track, “keep goin, black girl ur not far” follows this same formula, but feels lighter and gives you the impression of flight.

Henry Riggs has never really enjoyed “comedy music,” which he readily admits is strange. Given his resume (which includes comedy duo the Nameless Numberhead, founding short-form live sketch show Rip City, and being a musician), Riggs surprised us by saying he’s not a fan of artists that combine humor and song. He surprised us even more when he chose this question for High Fidelity: Who are your top five favorite musical comedy acts? Ellison at heath@charlestoncitypaper.com.

Charleston music veteran Taylor McCleskey, better known as the leader of indie rock band Beach Tiger, released a collection of his band’s early singles titled Hamburg (The Early Efforts) on April 24. The collection plays two roles in Beach Tiger’s discography: a retro spective of singles never put on a proper release and a preamble to Beach Tiger’s ambitious “Beatles Ten’’ project, in which McCleskey will drop a new album every six months through the decade. Hamburg is a fitting title for this release since the Fab Four famously kickstarted the band by taking up residency in Hamburg, Germany. Hamburg consists of almost every track Beach Tiger has released, including fan favorites like “Companion” and “Dead of Night,” as well as various demos and remixes of the songs. It’s a means of remembering the beginning of Beach Tiger while setting everything up for the project’s ambitions. McCleskey certainly seems set on ensuring that a lot more Beach Tiger is to come. In his words, “this will be the perfect chance to take a look back at what the project has been before you brace yourself for where it’s going.” Hamburg (The Early Efforts) is currently available for streaming on Spotify.

Rock Candy Sessions, the latest EP from Spartanburg trio Howl in the Valley, offers up three easy-going, salt-of-the-earth Americana tunes fit for rambling men and women every where. With one new original, one stripped-down reimagining of a previously recorded track, and one cover, the album serves as a solid primer to the band. Rock Candy Sessions begins with “Bear Creek,” an emotive ballad about a cabin in Caesar’s Head. According to the band, the song began life as an ode to a place of refuge, but upon discovering a pic ture of the cabin’s deceased owner, they wrote the final verse to give him the chance to say goodbye. “Drive” rewrites history, taking a high-energy folk rock tune from their last album, and scaling it back. Subtlety suits the lyrics and music well, but the band still plays it louder than the other two tracks, struggling to contain the excitement for their original music. Howl in the Valley rounds things out with a cover of Eleventyseven’s “Appalachian Wine.” The band’s subdued Americana rock sound is a fitting complement to the track’s lyrical themes and chord progressions. Rock Candy Sessions is a quick listen, but also serves as a mellow distraction from life’s faster moments. Howl in the Valley’s latest can be heard on Spotify. — Heath Ellison Provided

In an effort to illustrate this point, Jay Clifford of Jump, Little Children, recorded a live solo performance of “Cathedrals” in an empty Charleston Music Hall. The video hopes to raise support for MusiCare COVID-19 Relief Fund, a fund set up to help those in the music industry whose livelihoods have been taken away by theThevirus.360-degree video allows those watching to view the eerily empty venue with Clifford on stage alone singing and strum ming into the void. “Cathedrals,” a Jump single from 1998, is still a powerful and reflective ballad. The lyrics in the song’s chorus reveal a chilling coincidence. “In the cathedrals of New York and Rome, there is a feeling that you should just go home, and spend a lifetime finding out just where that is,” CliffordJump,sings.Little Children and the Charleston Music Hall are asking for support to help struggling musicians during this time EK

Dave Lorenz and Morgan Hurley of Mex 1 Coastal Cantina recently visited the Tequila Valley in Mexico and hand selected a barrel of Joven Tequila aged for 6 weeks in a New French Oak Barrel from Casa Noble coming in at 102 proof. “We chose this Tequila due to its notes of cooked agave, vanilla and toasted oak” says Hurley, “The Casa Fuerte Margarita, perfect for Cinco de Mayo, blends a French Orange Curacao with a little lime and agave nectar to balance out the strength of the Tequila.” STARTING AT $35 Fresh Juice SOL Marg Mixes $8/quart Select Tacos All Day $3 Style Taco Box, Choice of 1/2 gal Marg Mixes, 6 Pack of Mexican Beer, Limes and some Cinco de Mayo Party Essentials, $65 SPONSORED BY FAMILY PACKS x 4-Fajita, Tacos, or Combo Burritos, Enchiladas & Quesadillas.
