May the fourth be with you
Mark your calendar for free ‘Star Wars’ party, family events and festivals BY PAIGE HINSON The Post and Courier
S
o much to do and so little time. On top of the happenings scheduled for this weekend, two of the events that were rained out two weekends ago have been rescheduled for Saturday. The Art and Music Festival and 5K Fun Run portions of the Sea and Sand Festival on Folly Beach will take place Saturday, as will the Earth Day Festival in Park Circle. Let’s hope the weather holds up this time.
Use the fourth
Satisfy your inner geek and get out to Jimbo’s Rock Lounge on Wednesday to celebrate Star Wars Day. Beginning at 9 p.m., Jimbo’s, 1662 Savannah Highway, will host an homage to everything “Star Wars” on this unofficial holiday that has come about through use of the pun “May the fourth be with you.” Get it? Costumes are highly encouraged, and there will be a photo booth to document the proliferation of Hans, Leias, Lukes, Darths, Chewies and other extraterrestrial characters who will be in attendance. Guests may enjoy a “Star Wars”-themed art show, live music and karaoke, video games and movies on an HD projector and more. The best part? There’s no cover. Call 225-2200.
Family fun
If you feel like hanging out downtown Saturday, check out two different, but both family-friendly, events happening on the peninsula.
The Gibbes Museum of Art is holding a Community Day 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Admission will be free, and visitors may enjoy creative activities and live performances by The Three Dudes and the Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Children’s Choir. The museum is at 135 Meeting St. Call 722-2706 or visit www.GibbesMuseum. org. Not feeling quite so artsy?

Lowcountry’s largest triathlon changes course Walk this way
Want a slower pace? Two walking events are upon us, the first of which is today. The National Walk @ Lunch Day, created by Blue Cross Blue Shield, is an effort to encourage people to take a walk at lunch. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be 11 a.m.2 p.m. today in Marion Square in Charleston and includes a walking course, health screenings and information, chair massages, giveaways, music and more. The second, the 3-mile March of Dimes March for Babies, will be at 9 a.m. Saturday at Cannon Park at Ashley and Rutledge avenues in Charleston. More at www.marchofdimes.com/southcarolina.
B
ecause of the traffic jams and safety concerns caused by the inaugural TryCharleston triathlon in Mount Pleasant last year, the second annual event was in question for a while. But organizers and the Mount Pleasant Police Department hammered out some major changes, and this year’s event — already the Lowcountry’s largest, single-day triathlon event — will take place Saturday. Race director Diane Fox says she expects about 800 triathletes and relay participants to compete in the triathlon, which includes a half-ironman (1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run) and a sprint (500-meter swim, 20K bike and 5K run). Last year’s event drew about 720 participants. The most notable change in the triathlon will be limiting the crossing of U.S. Highway 17, the addition of a second transition area and keeping the run portion of the race on the Park West side
34th annual Rice Run

Triathletes enter the lake at the KOA Campground for the 1.2-mile swim at last year’s TryCharleston triathlon. of U.S. 17. The swim-to-bike transition will remain next to the lake at the KOA Campground. The bike-to-run and finish line will be at Mount Pleasant’s new Carolina Park near East Cooper Airport. Despite the changes, hundreds of triathletes still will be biking on U.S. 17, which will be coned off for a small section northbound
as the triathletes enter it at South Morgan’s Point Road. Motorists also can expect to see triathletes on northbound and southbound lanes on U.S. 17 between Doar Road and St. JamesSantee Elementary School and on southbound lanes on U.S. 17 from Guerins Bridge Road to Airport Road later in the morning. Registration for the triathlon is
still open. In-person sign-ups will be 2-7 p.m. Friday and 5-6:30 a.m. Saturday at KOA. The fee for the half-ironman is $155 for individual triathletes and $255 for relay teams, and for the sprint, $75 and $145, respectively. The event raises money for the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy.

Sister city hosts a magical musical experience Jason Marsalis (from left), Rodney Jordan, Bela Fleck and Marcus Roberts at this year’s Savannah Music Festival. Fleck will perform at this year’s Spoleto Festival USA, while the other musicians have worked Spoleto in the past.
T
here are lots of reasons I like the Savannah Music Festival, but the two basic ones are that it pleases me a lot as a fan and gives me opportunities as a journalist. If you’re any kind of music fan, you could not help but be impressed by the array of musical styles offered at the festival. You name it, it’s available. There’s zydeco, European classical, blues, Americana, jazz, rock ’n’ roll, Cajun, East Indian classical, African, world, bluegrass, folk, country, just about every form on planet Earth, literally. All of this in the quaint, pleasant confines of one of the most intriguingly beautiful cities in the world, Savannah. Festival venues dot the downtown area, ensconced among the old oak trees and splashy azalea bushes whose look and feel appears to be a postcard come to life. Shows were held in community centers, theaters, schools, churches and other historic buildings. Executive and artistic director Rob Gibson, for instance, held his Sound Dialogues series in an old pharmacy on Broughton Street, one of the town’s main drags. In what appeared to be the main space in the former drugstore, Kennedy’s Pharmacy, he held conversations between a guest musician interviewer and a festival musician. An example was reed player Ted Nash interviewing venerable jazz trombonist Slide Hampton.

I’ve been attending SMF for several years now, and this year was one of the best. The chilly, rainy weather was overridden by the warm, gracious boarding I had at the beautiful boutique Avia Hotel. Last year, the weather was gloriously springlike, much like the programming this year. I spent a week this time. Even with the inclement weather, I was able to walk to just about every performance I attended, things were so close. Most of the jazz was held at the Charles Morris Center, a half-dozen or so blocks east of the Avia. I saw stunning performances there by Hammond B3 organ player Ike Stubblefield and his guitarist, Grant Green Jr., along with trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and trumpeter Marcus
Printup, pianist couple Bill Charlap and Rene Rosnes, and a percussion trio that included Joe Craven, who plays found objects, worldrenowned percussionist and marimba player Hans Christian Sorensen and Jason Marsalis on the drum kit. A good candidate for the most interesting event I saw was at the Lucas Theatre, a gorgeous art deco palace built in 1921, restored and reopened in 2000 after falling into disuse in 1976 and now successfully run by the Savannah College of Art and Design. There one night were classical bassist Edgar Meyer, East Indian tabla player and composer Zakir Hussain and bluegrass master Bela Fleck, arguably the best professional banjo player in the world. On the surface, these three
virtuosi play very different styles, but they have in common technical proficiency on their individual instruments, the ability to improvise or compose in real time and complement the other musicians at any given time. The result was magical. Speaking of beauty, one afternoon at the Morris Center I caught Charlap and tenor saxophonist Houston Person, a Florence native and one of the greatest living tenor players today. Their duet was steeped in the Great American Songbook, as smooth as satin and as shiny and slick as silk. Charlap struck the ivories of the nine-foot Steinway with a velvet hammer touch while Person’s blues drenched sonic sojourns wafted from the bell of his horn. He’s what we used to call in jazz circles
a “boss tenor” or “Texas tenor,” indicative of a soulful, dynamic, broad shouldered, muscular-but-gentle sound. The melodies just floated in the air, creating that sense of timelessness that good performance art does. Person, with his irrepressible personality, was a delight, having little to say — except through his instrument — but still managing to inject humor. Charlap introduced 1943’s “Star Eyes” by Gene De Paul and Don Raye, but before he could give the downbeat, Person went off mike, walked over to Charlap and leaned down to whisper in his ear. Charlap smiled sheepishly, then announced that the lyrics to the standard made popular by Charlie Parker were written by none other than Johnny Mercer,
the American songwriting icon and favorite son of Savannah. Without saying a word to the audience, Person had good naturedly used Charlap as a straight man in his improvisational comedic routine and, more importantly, to impart relevant information to the audience. Everyone loved it, including Charlap, and the show went on with an even happier vibe. I’ve got some stories from there that I’ll share with you at another time. My fan side and my journalist side were tickled to death in Savannah — again.

T
his upcoming weekend, I’m excited about two big events. One local, one with a bit wider scope. As the entire world knows, the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton is on Friday. Some 750 million people around the globe watched his parents get married, and an estimated 2 billion are expected to tune in for this event. For people in the fashion/ wedding industry, the big question revolves around Middleton’s dress and who’s designing it. Early on, her favorite British designer, Issa, was considered a front-runner, but the closer it’s gotten to the wedding, the more rampant the speculation has become. Virtually every major British designer from Sarah Burton, the head designer at Alexander McQueen, to Jasper Conran has been mentioned as a possibility.

The ‘Venus for Life’ installation will be on display on the second floor of the new Roper St. Francis Cancer Center on the campus of St. Francis Hospital
Beacham’s watercolors are soft yet vibrant, and in a sea of oil painters in downtown Charleston, her watercolors shine. This new collection, “The Essence of Vapor,” was inspired by Pearl S. Buck’s classic book, “The Good Earth.” Beacham listened to the audio version of the book while working on the series. “I didn’t want the story to end! In tribute to the emotions I experienced, I named my first painting in this series ‘Out of the Good Earth.’ It depicts our Lowcountry surroundings in an almost Oriental fashion,” she said. This body of work also was done using a technique that was new for Beacham as most of the pieces were done by painting on both side of translucent Yupo paper. Since this technique has piqued such interest, she will be teaching a three-day workshop beginning May 16 on the Isle of Palms. The opening reception of “The Essence of Vapor” will be 5-8 p.m. Saturday at Indigo Fine Art Gallery.

the song has not been released as a single. Lee was pleasantly surprised, saying, “It is a testament to the dedication of the fans as well as their connection to the songs and also to everyone who helped get the record out.” In addition to playing many songs from his current album and reaching back to earlier material, Lee likes to play one or two cover songs at his shows. He closed his NYC concert with an incredible countryfied version of Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.” For each of his three previous albums, Lee worked with different producers. Reflecting on that, he said, “While each did a great job and it was just where I was on each record, it was not a wise decision.” So what did Lee choose to do on his latest CD even

This partnership clicked, resulting in “Mission Bell,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart.

Performers to transform Old City Jail into arts show BY PAUL PAVLICH
Special to The Post and Courier
T
he Old City Jail will host Jail Break, an arts festival that includes music, film, visual arts and a dance installation on Sunday. Andrew Walker, the creator and pianist of instrumental group Entropy Ensemble, has assembled a crew that includes his band as well as other local music acts Ryan Bonner and the Dearly Beloved and Wadata, artwork from local artists and students from the College of Building Arts and dance performances by the Annex Dance Company. Walker’s mission with the show is to unify the arts through performance, for he says he believes that all forms of creativity come from the same source in the human soul. “The concept of the event is to bring together artists from all walks of life in the Charleston community at one event,” he says. “We wanted to create an ensemble where you don’t see the separation between different arts. We wanted to do the festival at a historic site, like the Old City Jail.” Walker started getting into music in college after hearing pianist Christopher O’Reilly, who did transcriptions of Radiohead for solo piano. Walker took a note or two from O’Reilly, and started doing his own original arrangements and transcriptions of Radiohead.
The concept of the event is to bring together artists from all walks of life in the Charleston community at one event. Andrew Walker
These instrumental reworkings rely on an unconventional instrumental lineup, with Walker on piano, Ben Wells on bass, Stuart White on percussion, Lonnie Root on cello and Javier Orman on violin. They have played three different concerts in the Charleston area over the past year, and have been touring with the project as well. “You have this really unique group that all took an interest of taking the music of an internationally popular band and instrumentalizing it and performing it,” Walker says. “We’ve been doing that over the last year and it’s been so successful. We bring such a diverse audience to our shows. We’ve been on the road and had a 14-year-old to 70-year-old demographic at the shows.” Walker would like to continue to meld the arts at similar festivals such as Jail Break, and intends to do so through his new company,

The Entropy Ensemble. Entropy Arts. Although Entropy Ensemble is included in Walker’s plans, he wants to distinguish his musical group from his event planning company. He says he intends to see more and more different types of artists working together on the same stage performing towards the same goal, as opposed to a one-actafter-another variety show. “Entropy Ensemble is part of a mother organization that I created in 2009 called Entropy Arts,” Walker says. “Entropy Arts is an arts organization that has a mission to facilitate collaborative projects. I’m trying to reveal the interconnectedness of all these arts. “Artists are bringing expressions, concepts and ideas into the physical realm through some type of medium, whether it’s music, painting or chainsaw art,” he says. “I feel that the impulse for all artists to do something that comes from the same place. “The word ‘entropy’ is a theory that everything starts together and then naturally moves apart and becomes disorganized and chaotic. If you just looked at that, you would says that you didn’t get it and you didn’t see how those things are connected, but you can’t forget the fact that they all came from the same source.”

T
he Stono Cafe has pulled into a new port. It is now at the St. Johns Yacht Harbor. But don’t let the name fool you. You do not need an entry into the Velux 5 Oceans. Hey, you do not even need to own a pleasure craft. But if yours is an appetite for water views and the simple pleasures of home cooking , then Stono Cafe is your kind of spot. It is on Headquarters Island perched above the Stono River. It is a casual spot. A simple dining room showcases the photographs of Dubose Blakeney and the accolades of present chef Barry Waldrop’s career. Fresh flowers and potted orchids refresh what is a basic rectangle of a dining room. An outdoor deck wraps around the building to the “aqua bar,” where high top tables allow for delightful water views. Waldrop of True Charleston Cuisine and Stono Cafe Catering has recruited his cousin, Mimi Duffy, of the iconic (and now closed) Mimi’s Cafe to join him in this new venture. The two are giddy with the possibilities at the Stono Cafe at the yacht harbor, as is their staff. At a recent visit, you felt their enthusiasm. The staff had the happy energy of camp counselors as they awaited the first crop of campers. There was their pride in the talents of Waldrop and Duffy; the sheer pleasure of their water-surrounded culinary aerie and the happy satisfaction of providing hospitality.
LEROY BURNELL/STAFF
Waldrop, a lifetime Charleston resident, is the founder and operator of the Stono Cafe. In 2002, he began offering his culinary services as a caterer in his business called True Charleston Cuisine. The Stono Cafe at SJYH opened this winter. Sunday oyster roasts brought the people out of cold storage. Now those who seek nautical pleasures have a spot to anchor on the Stono for twin tastes of Waldrop and Duffy’s foods. The menu is a simple one. She-crab soup ($6) is laced with sherry and crabmeat. Tomato okra soup ($4) is beef-broth based and mined with fresh, tender okra pods. Appetizers are dipcentric — crab ($10), spin-
ach ($6) and salmon pate ($8) — and could benefit from some variety. Sandwiches are Southern classics, and the kitchen promises chicken salad ($6) like “Mama used to make, no fruits, no nuts.” To that I say “amen.” Shrimp salad ($8) is made with whole shrimp, and pimiento cheese sandwiches are spiked with jalapenos ($7). The sides are potato salad and coleslaw, both fresh tasting and house-made. Burgers ($8-$10) were awaiting new equipment that will facilitate their production and allow you to “order them your way.” Entrees are limited to a daily special, a fish special, and shrimp and grits ($15) and crab cakes ($13). They
are accompanied by a vegetable and starch of the day. Asparagus and spaghetti squash casserole were on the menu in late spring. Portions are generous; overflowing their faux crystal plates. The Cafe would best be served by investing in larger service pieces. Ingredients are respected, and the cooking is well-timed. Shrimp and grits ($15) were finished with a basil cream sauce, and chunky tomatoes peeked out from the cheddar cheeses that flavored the grits. The cold asparagus stalk garnish was disconnected, as was the watermelon that accompanied each dish. The spaghetti squash casserole was a classic of its kind. The fibers of the squash collapsed into
creme of coconut and aged before it is served. Nicely portioned so you can eat every bite, it is a winner. “Bubba cake” was not tried, but if the coconut cake is a bellwether for cake baking at the Stono Cafe, you cannot go wrong. Service was friendly and polite. The crowds were just beginning to rediscover this spot. The menu is a work in progress. The latitude and longitude of the Stone Cafe at the St. Johns Yacht Harbor offer the perfect intersection of opportunity for like-minded chefs such as Waldrop and Duffy. The race is theirs to win on the hospitality ocean of food and service.
“strands of spaghetti,” trapping cheese and diced bell peppers in its tender web. All accented with bacon bits, it was the gracious-goodness of the old-school stove. The crab cakes ($13) were rich with regular and claw crabmeat. They were seasoned with a classic seafood seasoning mix and brightened with bits of red, green and yellow peppers with just a tad of cayenne pepper to keep your tastebuds awake. My own preference is for lump backfin crabmeat with little embellishment. Stono’s version falls short on that criteria, but their recipe is certainly nearly all crab, just the “regular” kind.

B
ob and Ali’s Pit Stop Deli lives up to its name, as the sandwich shop has assembled a collection of motor sports and stock car racing decor and memorabilia. The husband-and-wife team opened up the restaurant in October, offering hot and cold sandwiches, and even better, breakfast all day. Triangular flags hang from the exterior awnings as well as the ceiling, while a mural depicting a pair of red race cars spruces up one of the walls. Rugged bent sheet aluminum runs the length of another wall, displaying old signage, photos and newspaper articles. Heck, even the chandelier above the counter drips with used sparkplugs.

It’s a proper lead up to the main event: overfilled, tasty sandwiches on freshly baked bread. Ciabatta, poppy Kaiser, marble rye, white, multigrain, hero or wheat and spinach wraps, you name it. There’s the Ragged Edge ($6.49-$7.98), a roast beef and mozzarella sandwich, dolled up with caramelized onions and red pepper aioli. Or the Spare Tire ($7.49$8.98), jacked up with five different meats, plus provolone cheese, green olives (a
nice change), banana peppers and roasted red peppers. Breakfast brings out the Super Charger ($3.98), a peppy spinach wrap containing two eggs, feta cheese, pesto, tomatoes and onions. Specials flip daily, too, including the prime rib cheese steak, or the Portobello burger, a large, stuffed cap with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, and a garlic and avocado spread. What we also like: the pricing. A four-ounce portion of, say, the homemade loaded potato salad only costs $1. Ditto for the tomato and mozzarella salad, or specials like the lobster mac and cheese. An eight-ounce serving is $2, the 16-ounce is $4 and the 32-ounce is $8. ROB YOUNG It’s no exaggeration.

ACE’S ON BRIDGE By BOBBY WOLFF
English International Gunnar Hallberg is a fertile source of interesting and unusual material. Having had a successful career as a Swedish International, he moved to England more than a decadeagoandhasenjoyedgreat success there. Unlike most modern-day experts,Hallberghashadhisnerves hardened in the crucible of highstake rubber bridge games. At TGR’s bridge club in London, where this hand arose, the auction was more sophisticated than you might expect, but the contract excellent. West led the spade jack against the heart slam, and although there are various possible routes home, South had to focus on the real danger to his slam. With
only a jack-high spade suit for his overcall, West rates to have a six-carderand,ifallowedinwith theheartace,cangivehispartner a spade ruff. At the table South won the lead with the spade king inhand,cashedthediamondace to unblock the suit, then played the club ace and another club, ruffed in dummy. Now came the key play of the diamond king, on which the spade four was discarded from hand. Declarer continued on crossruff lines, and the only trick that the defenders were able to take was the trump ace. If declarerfollowstheknee-jerkreaction of winning the spade lead and drawing trumps at once, he runs into a spade ruff for down one.

Hand kiss in dispute
Editor’s Note: Trivia will return next week.
D
DREAMSTIME
EAR ABBY: My wife and I shop in an upscale shoe store. On the past two visits there, a middle-aged salesman kissed my wife’s hand when we left. I was surprised but not offended, considering it to be nothing more than an old-fashioned expression of courtesy. The man is knowledgeable, helpful and honest. My wife, however, disagrees. She says his gesture is forward and inappropriate and that I should resent it. Who’s right? — T.R. IN HOUSTON DEAR T.R.: You are. The kiss-on-the-hand routine may be part of the man’s sales technique. If he has done it before and your wife had no objection, then it’s not surprising he did it a second time. What would she like you
DEAR ABBY to do, challenge him to a duel? If she felt the gesture was inappropriate, then she shouldn’t have offered her hand to him a second time. DEAR ABBY: My friend says if it weren’t for sex, you wouldn’t have enough material to write your column. I disagree, and have told him that you could still do your columns. What say you? — TOM AND JERRY IN CINCINNATI DEAR TOM AND JERRY: I say I could, but it wouldn’t be as much fun. Write www.DearAbby.com.
