7:30-10 p.m. today // in front of the museum on Meeting Street “ ‘Gibbes on the Street: Framing the Future’ ” is the title of this year’s street party that celebrates the artists and art lovers who bring the Gibbes community to life,” says communications director Marla Loftus. Last year, the Gibbes took over Meeting Street for several hours one evening. With great food, art, and lots of fun socialites and art lovers, this really is a super fun event. The “street food” vendors are so yummy, it’s rather funny to call them that. Expect nibbles from Bacco, Caviar & Bananas, Charleston Grill, Circa 1886, Cypress, FIG, Husk, McCrady’s, Oak Steakhouse, Slightly North of Broad and Trattoria Lucca with sweets provided by Macaroon Boutique and WildFlour Pastry. There also will be a special performance by the Charleston Ballet Theatre, guests dancing in the street, a ticket giveaway courtesy of Southwest Airlines, and an open bar. Meeting street will be blocked off from Cumberland to Queen streets. Tickets are $100 for museum members and $135 for nonmembers and can be purchased online at www. gibbesmuseum.org/events or by calling 722-2706. Tickets must be purchased in advance and all ticket holders must be at least 21. www.gibbesmuseum.org. -Olivia Pool, Special to The Post and Courier

Has it really been a year since the first Charleston Pride parade? Time sure does move fast, and so much has changed since then. But one thing reminds true: the spirit and passion of the Lowcountry’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trangender community. Last year’s festival was a definite highlight of my experience in this city. A friend and I arrived in North Charleston early and joined in with the eclectic group of people who were participating in what I consider to be a historic event. All types of people were there — young, old, heterosexuals, drag queens, locals, tourists — for a common cause: celebrating life and moving toward full acceptance. If you marched, you know what I am talking about. I promise you will feel like you’re a part of a change, a shift of focus in our collective consciousness. I’m glad that the festival is back and bigger than it was last year. Also, of note: Anyone wearing a uniform, current military service members and veterans along with public servants such as firefighters, police officers, mail carriers and others, can march for free in the Charleston Pride Festival parade on Saturday. Participants will assemble at North Charleston Elementary School on Durant Avenue near Park Circle at 9 a.m. The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. and will proceed from Durant Avenue to East Montague Avenue through the Olde Village business district, ending at Virginia Avenue and Noisette Boulevard.

Folly Beach’s Moonlight Mixers return Music in the park, artists and Good Beer Tuesdays

ight now, we in the Lowcountry are in the midst of that wonderful time of the year when it feels like summer but the temperature isn’t up to 103 degrees yet. We can still enjoy being outside. Luckily, the next few days offer several opportunities to get outdoors.

Dancing in the moonlight

Moonlight Mixers on the Folly Beach pier are back. At 7 p.m. Friday, join dancers of all ages and experience levels to dance the night away under the stars. DJ Jim Bowers plays a mix of oldies and beach music classics, and food and beverages are available at the gift shop and Locklear’s Beach City Grill. Moonlight Mixers are monthly, so if you can’t make it this Friday, check out Charleston County Park and Recreation’s website at www.ccprc.com for future dates. Advance admission is $8 for Charleston County residents and $10 for nonresidents. Admission at the gate is $10. Only 600 tickets are sold, so advance purchase is recommended.

Dragon Boat Festival hopes to raise $60,000 T

he Ashley River near Brittlebank Park will be ablaze with colorful boats and festivities Saturday for the fourth annual Charleston Dragon Boat Festival. Sixty-three teams of 21 people each will be competing in 250-meter paddling races in an event that’s primarily about raising money for the cancer survivorship programs of Dragon Boat Charleston. “Our programs are best described as helping cancer survivors hit the restart button after cancer,” says Sterling Hannah, director of Dragon Boat Charleston. Dragon boats, which originated in ancient China, are the world’s largest flat water racing canoes, measuring 41 feet in length. Winning is less about strength and more about teamwork, as those who synchronize strokes have the edge. The event has been a major draw for corporate teams — Roper St. Francis is entering 14 and the Medical University of South Carolina 7 — and community teams, such as perennial powers the James Island Vikings and the Folly Beach Wahines. All compete in two categories: racing and fundraising. Many competitors are mo-

Run for Pet Helpers

The third Leslie McCravy Memorial 5K Run and Walk will be 8 a.m. Saturday at Folly Beach and will benefit Pet Helpers. Cost is $30 for adults and $15 for children. The after-party will be at Blu Restaurant & Bar, featuring music by Ben Fagan and the Holy City Hooligans, raffle prizes, including a customizeable Affordabike beach cruiser, drink specials and more.

tivated for personal reasons. “The fundraising competition is as strong as the racing competition and, unfortunately, it is personal for so many of the teams,” says Hannah. “Last year’s festival champions, the Folly Beach Wahine, just lost a member of their team to breast cancer, and the 2009 champions, the James Island Vikings, lost a member to breast cancer last year.” While the top team donor the last two years has been the Vikings, Sallie Vee Zervos of Ashley Hall School, who lost her mother and godmother to ovarian cancer, has been the top individual donor, collecting about $8,000. As of today, it’s too late to enter a team in the festival,

Charleston Pride Festival comes out this weekend

Food Wednesdays in

Whet your appetite.

BY LISA RYAN

Special to The Post and Courier

et your rainbow flags fly this weekend. The second annual Charleston Pride Festival kicks off tonight, promising three days of fun-filled events in celebration of the Lowcountry’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trangender community and sponsored by Absolut Vodka. The festivities begin at 6 p.m. with “Art For Pride,” an art walk highlighting Park Circle favorites Evo, The Mill, Cork, The Chart and Sesame. The evening also is set to feature the Charleston Pride Gay Film Festival at 7 p.m. at the Olde Village Picture House. Friday evening calls for the Absolut Pride Pageant at the American Theater at 9 p.m., while the highly anticipated Charleston Pride Parade is set to take place at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on East Montague Avenue in North Charleston. The event, which was organized this year in correlation with the theme “Catch the Wave of Equality,” hopes to draw a large crowd of gay and straight people from across the Lowcountry. “Our goals are to reach as many people in the local and tricounty community as possible in order to raise awareness and inspire activism among the gay and straight community,” said Sharen Mitchell, vice chair and director of outreach of the Charleston Pride Festival. Mitchell, who also served on the board during last year’s inaugural event, said that the event was created as a response to the Lowcountry’s booming LGBT population. “Originally when we founded it, we felt that there was a need to have a pride march in Charleston, which has become a popular destination for the LGBT community, both nationally and locally,” she said.

FILE/STAFF

Jen Jones of the College of Charleston Graduate Open Alliance marches during the first Charleston Pride Parade. This year’s event kicks off tonight and includes a parade Saturday in North Charleston. The festival initially was created as a one-day celebration, though it was expanded to three days due to the success of last year’s event. Rob King, entertainment director for the festival, said, “Initially, I think no one was really sure of what to expect, but last year’s board did a great job, and it far exceeded anyone’s expectations. At the end of the day, over 4,000 people attended last year’s parade and festival.” With more than 5,000 people projected to come out for this year’s event, King and his team upped the ante for the event’s entertainment. “We have added more events this year,” he said. “At the rally, we have added more vendors, a bar service as well as expanded the musical lineup to fea-

ture six local bands from the Charleston area.” King said that the festival hopes to continue to grow. “We strive to build upon the success of the previous year’s festival and to continually grow the festival each year by bringing in attendees from not only the state of South Carolina, but also from all over the United States.”

WIN WIN an intelligent Blindside!

With Win Win, the character actor and occasional writer-director Tom McCarthy (The Station Agent, The Visitor) continues his run of charming, nonpatronizing little films for grown-ups. Paul Giamatti is in fine form as a lawyer and high-school wrestling coach whose life of quiet desperation turns him into a teetering pillar of his suburban New Jersey community. ★★★★✩ Amy Ryan, Bobby Cannavale and Jeffrey Tambor co-star, along with Burt Young, Melanie Lynskey and nonactor newcomer Alex Shaffer. It’s not quite a “sports movie,” nor really an “indie movie,” and that absence of quotation marks feels just fine. It’s a modest but real thrill to see such clear characterization and to witness strong performers taking up the many generous opportunities that a bright and humane young filmmaker has afforded them. * * * * (Jonathon Keifer, Sacramento News)

Ferrell flexes acting muscles in ‘Everything Must Go’ BY ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

he unlikely combination of funnyman Will Ferrell and the boozy “dirty realism” of the great short story writer Raymond Carver pays off beautifully in “Everything Must Go,” a sardonic look at hitting bottom before you can start the climb back up. Ferrell perfectly underplays his Carver anti-hero and delivers a rich, layered and subtle performance. And a funny one. Maybe it’s the baggage the once and future “Anchor Man” brings to the party, but Nick, his melancholy drunk caught in the middle of a downward spiral, is a sad, broken man who still gives us permission to laugh at him.

We meet Nick on what we assume, at least, is the worst day of his life. He’s sitting in his car, draining a flask. He’s stopping at convenience stores, picking up 12-packs of Pabst. He’s been fired. And then he gets home. No wife waiting to greet him. No door opening into his sanctuary where he can curl up, get drunk and feel sorry for himself. The locks have been changed. Everything he owns is on the lawn, from his clothes and golf clubs to his George Foreman Grill, his easy chair, every sports trophy, LP and tiki torch he’s ever bought. The detritus of his life is there for the whole Scottsdale suburb to see. “Can’t this happen another day?”

VICTORIA WILL/AP

Will Ferrell stars in the dramatic independent film, “Everything Must Go.” The movie is playing at The Terrace Theater. he pleads, leaving a message on the wife’s voice mail. Nope. It’s all crashing down right here, right now: his alcoholism, his shattered career, his ruined marriage.

Before the afternoon is over, we’ve flashed back to that firing, we’ve seen his company car repossessed, grimaced at the unseen wife’s “hold” on their joint

accounts. Nick has no cash, no car, no home and nobody to help him cope. Save for Mr. Pabst and his Blue Ribbon brew. Writer-director Dan Rush keeps Ferrell on slow burn for the most part. We know he’ll blow, and more than once, probably. But he keeps us waiting. This is Ferrell’s best work in ages and his best choice, as an actor, since “Stranger than Fiction.” In “Everything Must Go,” Nick has to shed the trappings of his life to see if it’s worth starting over. And in making it, Ferrell strips away his standard shtick and shows us a glimpse of the big, vulnerable human being behind those hilarious, broad characters he often hides behind.

Dublin Down: ‘Third Time Lucky’

BY DEIDRE SCHIPANI

Special to The Post and Courier

cross the pond, you are apt to hear the expression “third time lucky.” This is an appropriate idiom for the latest business venture of Thomas Dowling and Brian Mahoney of The Daniel Island Grille and Paul Cronin of the former Two Rivers Tavern. This trio has recently opened Dublin Down, an Irish pub, at 245 Seven Farms Drive, a location that has been home to two previous watering holes that have dried up for a variety of reasons. Dowling, Mahoney and Cronin came in to resuscitate what they hoped could become a classic Irish drinking establishment. As they set to work to build that fulcrum of Irish social life, the pub, they walked the delicate balance of managing their sports bar business, The Daniel Island Grille down the road. Nearly four months into their venture, the odds favor their success. Its owners refreshed the front. They added etched glass advertising the Guinness, Harps and Paddys within. The tricolor of green, white and orange was unfurled and the patio, courtyard and outdoor bar areas were expanded. The interior was opened up and private compartments were expanded. Peanuts are poured by the pitcher and a continuous feed of rugby and football air on the flat-screen TV. Friendly servers and the presence of owners bring a sense of fraternity and community to the experience. Much of what appears on the menu at Dublin Down is Irish-American at best. To their credit, Dowling, Mahoney and Cronin have

honored Irish heritage with a French dip of braised lamb ($9.99), a classic fish and chippers ($12.99) and bangers (sausage) and mash ($9.99). Irish breakfast ($12.99) is served all day with a side of colcannon, the iconic Irish dish of mashed potatoes, cabbage and scallions. Appetizers showcase Irish-inspired dishes such as spring rolls ($7.99) with corned beef, cheese dip with Irish sausage ($6.99) and a platter of classic Irish cheeses: Cashel blue, Dubliner’s and Cahill’s porter served with Irish soda bread ($9.99). Soups and stews are available by the cup ($4.99), the bowl ($5.99) and as a meal ($8.99). Enjoy potato leek, Brenton’s fish stew or Guinness braised beef in a

portion appropriate to your appetite. They do a credible job with their boxtys ($7.99-$9.99) filling them with stew, pot pie, vegetables and South of the Border chicken. Think of a boxty as a potato-based pancake wrapper; a handy envelope for any number of fillings. It also appears on the breakfast menu filled with cheese, eggs, mushrooms and sausage ($6.99$7.99). The burger ($8.99) is served on an English muffin and sliders of pot roast ($8.99) with red cabbage and horseradish sauce are perfect for smaller appetites. The pot roast ($12.99) is served on freshly made wide noodles (called pasta on the menu) and is a filling and substantial portion.

The menu is uncomplicated; easy to execute; and priced and portioned for bar culture. A pint of Guinness was properly pulled and a menu of blacksmith, black and tan, snake bite, half and half and black bee will easily entertain the taste buds of those smitten with stout. Desserts and coffee drinks provide for a sweet ending. The publicans of Dublin Down have learned well that “one look before is better than two behind.” Their little locale on Seven Farms Drive brings authenticity and ce’ad mile failte (you are welcome a thousand times over) rings true with their gracious hospitality.

he little tea leaves are all grown up. At least the festival that celebrates them is. The Charleston Tea Plantation’s First Flush Festival celebrates its fifth year this Sunday, and with it, most likely, another sold-out year. “The original purpose of why we started this was to get in touch with local people,” says Bill Hall, president of operations and founder of the Charleston Tea Plantation. “A lot of visitors want to see a tea plantation. But we wanted to reach out, to get locals out here to come and experience this unique place.” Event organizers have capped the number of tickets at 5,000, and Hall hopes to have fresh iced tea for all those thirsty music lovers. Last year, the event ran out of tea about 1 p.m., but this year, they plan to double the amount they prepare, he says. The tea’s the thing here at this one-day event, celebrating the first flush. The name, first flush, is actually defined as the escalated growth of new leaves on the tea plants in the springtime after they awaken from dormancy. Usually, this happens in April or May and creates a taste available only once a growing season. The musical line-up isn’t too bad either. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are headliners. Hall credits the continued partnership with radio station The Bridge 105.5 for such “good gets.” “We treat it as our station show, so we’ve taken a lot of ownership (of the festival),” says Mike Allen, the sta-

The idea was for somewhat of a supergroup trio playing experimental free-jazz and funk. That idea has not faltered, and today the group consists of Moore, Skerik, percussionist Mike Dillon (Les Claypool, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Ani DiFranco) and pianist Marco Benevento of the Benevento/Russo Duo. The group recently released its fifth studio album, “Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil” continuing its critically praised blend of psychedelic funk and jazz. Garage A Trois will perform tonight at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway. Doors open at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at the door or at

From 2001 to 2007, Jason Isbell served as guitarist and co-songwriter to the popular alt-country/rock band DriveBy Truckers. But when Isbell released his first solo album, “Sirens of the Ditch,” to rave reviews in 2007, Isbell’s time in the background quickly turned to a shining front-and-center spot. He gathered a band of predominantly Alabama-based musicians calling themselves the 400 Unit after the former name for the psychiatric ward of a Florence, Ala., hospital. Since then, Isbell has retained a loyal and growing fan following despite a rather ugly break from his old band. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit will perform Friday at The Windjammer, 1008 Ocean Blvd., with Maria Taylor. Tickets are $15 plus fees and are available at the door or at www.the-windjammer.com.

It’s painful, but you would never really know it when you hear it. In fact, there’s something very primal and afflicted but still happy-happy in a psychotic, cackling kind of way. Perhaps that’s the best way to describe Charleston newcomers The Royal Tinfoil’s music, madly upbeat, but even that seems cliche. The trio formed earlier this year and has quickly made its presence known in the local music scene by typically performing multiple shows each month. The band’s music is an assortment of folk, punk and blues that rolls off the tongue as easily as it trembles down your spine. There’s a certain maniacal spirit to it all that brings the bluesy ghosts and mystery of the band’s style and lyrics to life without sounding too overthought or cheesy. The Royal Tinfoil will perform at the Tattooed Moose, 1137 Morrison Drive, Friday night. Call 277-2990.

As Hamilton’s strumming got more insistent and you could begin to figure out some sort of rhythmic pattern to the drone, bandleader Quentin Baxter entered, striking the drum kit, sans cymbals and snare, with mallets, implementing his own patterns that ran counter to Hamilton’s. Fully five minutes in, Kebbi Williams softly but declaratively started bleating and bending quarter notes on his tenor saxophone, adding a third rhythmic and melodic structure diametrically counter to the first two.

red Foote felt betrayed. Having read the play “Inherit the Wind” in high school, he believed that its depiction of the events and personalities surrounding the so-called Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925 was a historical rendering. Years later, having also read Edward John Larson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1998 book “Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion,” Foote began to reverse course. “I had come to hear that ‘Inherit the Wind’ was quite inaccurate, so upon seeing the film a second time, I dug into the story, going so far as to order the trial transcript. I came to believe that not only was the conventional wrong but that perhaps the inverse was true, and the real story of the Scopes trial had never been told.” So the Michigan resident took a holiday from his career in banking and finance to write and produce his first feature film, “Alleged,” a provocative take on the fabled “Trial of the Century” that addresses such persistent issues as evolution vs. creationism in the public schools, the role of science in society, and religious and media bias on all sides. “I tried to avoid lampooning the historical figures of Clarence Darrow and H.L. Mencken in the manner I felt “Inherit the Wind” lampooned William Jennings Bryan,” says Foote, a selfdescribed libertarian and Mencken fan, “but I think neither the whole story of their role in events or the Please see FESTIVAL, Page 21E

Provocative ‘Alleged’ falls short in taking on famed Scopes trial BY BILL THOMPSON

bthompson@postandcourier.com

t is not the job of filmmakers to provide audiences with answers, but rather to prompt them to ask their own questions when they leave the theater. By presenting an alternative take on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, the fittingly titled “Alleged” takes to task the traditional view of events, embodied in Stanley Kramer’s famed 1960 melodrama “Inherit the Wind,” largely for fudging the facts. By extension, director Tom Hines’ new film, written and produced by Frederick Foote, seeks to counter what it views as the perpetuation of myths regarding one of the most misunderstood, and misrepresented, court cases in American history. But for all its strengths — fine period detail, solid performances — “Alleged” has too many shallow characterizations and a slant that, at times, is as heavy-handed as the one it critiques. The trial and the hullabaloo surrounding it are the backdrop to a love story involving a pair of appealing fictional characters who, in the end, stand for love, honor and journalistic integrity in the face of cynical maneuverings. But there’s more to “Alleged” than that. The film is spot-on in its description of the Scopes affair, and the battle over teaching human evolution in

Harbor Fest celebrates maritime history, culture and education

beer and wine, heavy hors d’oeuvres, live music and the chance to personally meet the skippers. We really want the public to show up for this — they’re invited and encouraged to come support these brave sailors,” says Winkler. Don’t forget the other traditions of the Fest. There will be plenty of games and rides for the little ones, an education village where kids can build mini-sailboats and discover facts about marine life and everyone’s favorite, the tall ships. “We took a hiatus from Harbor Fest in 2010 since we had a Tall Ship Festival, but we’ve also got three tall ships for this year,” explains John Heeke, development director of the maritime foundation. “We’re featuring the Fritha, out of Massachusetts, the Pride of Baltimore, out of Maryland, and our own Spirit of South Carolina. We’ll be offering

dock tours and boat tours for each ship.” Visitors to the fest also can cruise the harbor all day long for a fee. And if you live in Mount Pleasant, you can hop the water taxi to get over to the maritime center. “We’re really encouraging people to use public transportation and carpooling,” says Heeke. “We’ll be offering a flat parking rate for the fest at the aquarium garage, the Meeting Street garage, and the Gaillard garage.” Admission for the fest is $10 in advance and $15 on site for adults, and it counts for the entire weekend. Students under 17 are $5, and children under 5 are free. There’s also a VIP option. For $150, you get special parking, automatic tickets to the Velux party on Friday, access to a private cocktail lounge and other privileges. Beer and wine also will be for sale on the grounds,

along with ice cream, kettle corn, hamburgers and other festival snacks. “The Harbor Fest is largely a fundraiser for the programs the maritime foundation offers,” explains Heeke. “We do a lot of educational programs for schoolchildren in the area.” The Sea Spray Scout program is one opportunity for kids between the third and eighth grades. Students learn about sailing in their classrooms, then come aboard the Spirit of South Carolina to become part of the crew, meet sailors and apply their maritime skills. For rising high school students, a summer of the 21st Century Spirit Ocean Adventure can prepare them for responsibilities in education and life. Students spend seven weeks in the program: a week of sailing and six weeks of maintaining academic skills. The opportunity is aimed at Title I schools.

Considerthis dealfromarecent Cavendish Teams. North-South look destined to reach three notrump, whether or not East preempts — unless they can stop off to double an overly aggressive pairwho havegone overboard in diamonds. However, when West clearsthediamondsatonce,nine tricks seem a long way off. Nonetheless, in the match between Wayne Chu and Gerald Sosler, both tables found a way to nine tricks in three notrump. When Craig Gower was declarer, Kay Schulle led a top diamond. (Incidentally, do you approve of East’s decision to preempt? I do not. At favorable vulnerability,athree-levelpre-empt is not absurd, but at unfavorable vulnerability, bidding with this hand looks like a way to go for a large penalty.) Gower took the second diamond, led the heart queen, covered by the king and ace, and then played off the top spades. When Schulle pitched two diamonds, Gower worked out why and so led the heart 10. He next successfully finessed against the heart nine. Now he cashed out the hearts, reducing to a five-card ending with West holding three diamonds and two clubs. At this point he threw Schulle in with a diamond to cash out her suit, but she then had to lead clubs for his ninth trick. Remarkably, this was for a four-IMP loss, since Schulle’s teammate, David Berkowitz, had made exactly the same play, but in three no-trump doubled, to land nine tricks.

Sleeping separately

Land ho! BY REBEKAH BRADFORD

Special to The Post and Courier

Charleston Harbor Fest is this weekend. It’s a kid-friendly event that recalls a time when tall ships were regular sights in Charleston Harbor. This year also will feature some of the Velux 5 Oceans vessels that are part of the solo race around the globe. Current trivia winner Lauren Jones is competing this week against roofer Dan Chapin. FILE/STAFF

QUESTIONS 1. A fathom is a nautical unit of length that is equal to how many feet? 2. The “first dogwatch” at sea is during what period of time? 3. What is the name of the ghost ship that’s cursed to sail back and forth on its endless voyage and was the inspiration for Coleridge’s famous poem, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner?” 4. “Striking the Flag” is a universally recognized indication of what? 5. Which pirate who hunted in the waters off Charleston’s coastline was known as the Gentleman Pirate? 6. What infamous pirate was responsible for the Blockade of Charleston in 1718? 7. Name the female pirate who was born in Ireland but then moved to Charles Towne, South Carolina as a girl. 8. What was the flagship of John Paul Jones during the Revolutionary War? 9. What is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world? 10. Name the Coast Guard’s tall ship.

LAUREN’S ANSWERS

1. This is a guess, but is it 12 feet? 2. Midnight to 2 a.m. 3. Oh, I have no idea. 4. Surrendering. 5. Captain Morgan. 6. Blackbeard. 7. Anne Bonny. 8. The Constitution? 9. Victory. 10. I definitely don’t know this one.

CONCLUSION After reigning as the Head2Head trivia champ for the past couple weeks, Lauren just can’t keep it going this time. With more knowledge about all things nautical, Dan becomes the new champion and will return next week to take on a new opponent. For details about this weekend’s Harbor Fest, go to www.charlestonharborfest.org. and see Page 23E.

EAR ABBY: Our daughter, “Julie,” came home for the weekend so we could meet her new boyfriend, “Scott.” He’s a delightful young man, and my daughter is clearly smitten.
