Wow, the Spoleto season has blown me away this year. My favorite performances, so far, have been “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” at the American Theater, Lemon Andersen’s “County of Kings” and the Shen Wei Dance Arts. Not to mention the Contemporary Charleston 2011 and Halsey’s “Winter Stories” and “Kcymaerxthaere” art exhibits. “Hedwig” captures the spirit of the film perfectly. Anyone who has seen the movie will love it. (And apparently, the audiences loved it so much that they stole one of the corsets. Not cool!) Shen Wei was perfectly beautiful. I have honestly never seen anything like that before. The dancing, the expression, the music, the emotion. Just perfect. And Lemon Andersen blew my mind. For poets, he’s at the top of the game — someone who has been successful enough with the art form that he has worked with Spike Lee. That’s amazing. I hope you all have explored what Piccolo and Spoleto have to offer.

Biking gets wild downtown

ive wild animals (actually five people dressed as African safari animals) will be unleashed in downtown Charleston on Saturday evening for the Charleston Bike Safari. The safari involves teams of people on bicycles getting clues where the animals are located. Each team “captures” the animals by taking a photograph and sending it to safari headquarters (the Recovery Room on King Street) via email or MMS before the other teams do. This is a serious competition. The winning team gets $250. Cost to enter is $10. Check in is at 5 p.m. at the Recovery Room with the start at 6 p.m. Deadline for registration, either online or at the Recovery Room, is 10 p.m. Friday. www.charlestonbike safari.com

The 10th annual event will be Saturday and Sunday on the beach. Teams must include three or four people, ages 18 and up. The fee is $100 per team. The cap is set at 30 teams. www.halfrubber.com

TONIGHT: Friday: Saturday: Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday:

And Litondo, a former news reader appearing here in his first lead role, gives a consistently dignified, restrained performance. Chadwick depicts the decades-old experiences that shaped Maruge, who fought with the Mau Mau rebels in an uprising against the British, in intimate and harrowing flashbacks that help round out the character. “The First Grader” tends to oversimplify good and bad, clearly delineates the decent souls from the villains, without a whole lot of gray area or room for interpretation. That Maruge becomes an international media sensation seemingly overnight feels a bit far-fetched. But the simple fact that this is such an inspirational story makes it worth checking out.

Zocalo BY DEIDRE SCHIPANI Special to The Post and Courier

favored chef-son returned to the Lowcountry this winter. John Marshall, the former chef and owner of the popular West Ashley restaurant Al Di La, has returned to North Charleston. In 2008, he left the world of pasta and prosciutto for a farm-to-fork grass-roots outpost in North Carolina. He left behind a popular trattoria and the legacy of young chefs such as James Trez (Amuse, now closed) and Michael Scognamiglio (Bacco). He sold the business to his employee, Mark Kohn, and traded a toque for a tractor. This winter, the word on the street was that Marshall was back and his muse was Mexican. Just as his own sweat-equity brought Al Di La to life, Marshall cultivated the memory of the Talavera pottery sold at the former Dukes Garden Center in Park Circle into a Mexican street food fonda (a small sitdown restaurant). Although street food is the menu of the puesto, or stall, this former gas station has enough rough edges to let you believe you are experiencing “comida corrida” — food on the run — with its concrete floors and cinder-block walls. Late spring saw the outdoor patio come alive in a riot of color as the plants and vines tangled their way on the pillars, posts and trellis, shrouding the urban landscape of hardscrabble and asphalt with greens and pinks. The stark interior is more pleasant when dusk turns into darkness as the cinderblock walls painted the color of buttermilk are illuminated with the twinkling light of candles. Mexican Loteria cards decorate the walls. El diablito, la mano, la corona and

Agave blooms in the former Duke’s garden center

el corazon are all at home in a place where tequila is consumed. The carapace of the former filling station defines the space with the remnants of the metal frames of garage door bays and the awkward location of the restrooms. Street food is a part of every country’s and city’s life. Soft pretzels in Philadelphia, steamed hot dogs in Chicago and New York, pho in Vietnam, jerk in Jamaica, pizza in Naples and Popsicles everywhere. Here in the United States, we have taken the concept to a new level with food trucks. These “road stoves” of the world’s cuisines flourish in the new age of social media. Even Taco Bell has introduced “cantina tacos” inspired by Mexican street food. Locals still can find loncheras, or lunch trucks, where a community of hungry stomachs gathers to linger over simple foods prepared with speed and a side of salsa. At Zocalo, which takes its name from the main plaza or square in the center of Mexico City, your street food experience is both inside and out and comes with wait service. The lunch menu features taco plate specials ($7.50, $9.50) that include two and three tacos, respectively, with one side and a drink. The sides — Mexican slaw, pinto beans, refried beans and wagon wheels — are not options on the dinner menu. Zocalo also offers two salads ($4, $5) at lunch that can be topped with chicken for $3 or tuna/shrimp for $4. Their signature dish is the Sonoran hot dog ($7 at lunch accompanied by a beverage; $6.75 at dinner). A plump, juicy all-beef frankfurter is girdled with bacon, grilled, sequestered in a pillowy bollilo roll and topped with pinto beans, crema, mustard and onions. Like any great sandwich, you need a little bit of each ingredient to get

the full effect. Messy as all great street foods are, this little doggie even had the ladies at the BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival’s After Hours party sacrificing stains for succulence! It is a keeper. Appetizers are limited to chiccarones ($3.75), queso ($8.75), chips and salsa ($5) and guacamole ($5). Zocalo’s guacamole is served with traditional radish bits and red onion garnish, but the flavor was diluted and lacking the buttery piquancy that makes guacamole so addicting. The dinner menu has a variety of tacos along with a tostado and a daily sandwich special. I was hoping for some grilled corn (elote) or possibly a squash blossom soup, but no such luck. No sesos (brains), ojos (eyeballs) or lengua (tongue) either. Many of the braised items tasted alike, and the similar and traditional garnishes of white onion, cilantro and lime lulled your taste buds. The taco el pastor ($3.50), brought to Puebla by the Lebanese, marries well pork’s affinity for pineapple. Grilling adds just the right charred bits of texture to this taco. Kudos to Zocalo for the

presence of corn “truffle,” aka huitlacoche, in their taco verdura ($4.50). The carnitas taco balanced the soft braised pork with a crispy finish, as the pork is fried in its own fat, but the flavors of the salsa verde were muddied in the taco. In general, the intensity and vitality of the flavor was missing. The ingredients were fresh; the accents of pickled onions, crema, smears of guacamole and house-made chorizo model culinary lessons welllearned on the street. The boldness of the street food canon was missing. Tender texture was sacrificed for complexity. The scrappy immediacy of foods prepared on the spot was absent. The tequila menu, though, is thoughtful and well-assembled. The margarita casa is a compliment to the bartender. Try a flight of tequilas in order to explore the range of flavors and nuances they possess. Begin with a blanco, make your way to a reposado and finish with any one of Zocalo’s anejos. These are sipping lilies; not for throwing back and biting a lime. But you could do that, too. Try the extra anejos ($20$40); they will make you ap-

preciate the “angels share” of aging agave. The dessert menu changes frequently. The fried batter of churros available at the time of our visit were Mexico’s answer to doughnut holes. Plump rounds of fried dough were served with a warm chocolate sauce and molten cajeta under a dusting of cinnamon and sugar. You won’t be disappointed. Our server was well-versed on the menu and ingredients.

The bar struggled to keep up with the drink orders. This seems to be a common challenge in establishments that have extensive outdoor patio dining areas. The pacing of beverage and food service can suffer. Marshall and his team are street smart veterans. It won’t be long before Zocalo blooms with the promise of gutsy food honoring the states of Mexico that fuel the concept of food on the run.

ei Thai draws from the East, capturing Vietnamese, Cantonese, Thai and other Asian flavors, as the restaurant has won steady business and standing from North Charleston diners. The restaurant is in Northwoods Pointe Shopping Center, a retail mall anchored by the Carolina Ice Palace, La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries and the estimable Saigon Supermarket, a well-stocked Asian grocery store. At Mei Thai, the menu rustles up a multitude of noodle and rice dishes, running the gamut of typical Thai tastes: peppery, sour, salty and sweet. In fact, counting dessert (sticky rice with mangoes, anyone?), Mei Thai serves 101 items. For starters, try the Gai Tod (10 for $6.95), or the Thai-style chicken wings. Deeply fried, the wings possess a nutty, piquant taste, perhaps dosed with a hot chili sauce. Though not especially crisp, they’re quite good. Be sure to spoon the extra sauce on top of the wings to create a thicker, tastier coating. Beyond the Pad Thai, red and green curry, and stirfried beef and chicken dishes, Mei Thai serves several signature dishes. The calamari, for instance ($8.95, lunch; $11.95, dinner), is tenderly cooked and dressed with fresh basil, onions and red and green peppers in a seasoned broth. Similarly, the seafood basil

American Gun Saturday at The Village Tavern Like Wilco but with a stronger country tinge, Columbia’s American Gun is one of the most underrated bands in the region, but that hasn’t stopped the quintet from incessant touring and producing three records. The band’s 2006 fulllength “Dark Southern Hearts” put American Gun

on the tongues of several area critics, thus sparking interest around the Southeast. American Gun’s next two albums, 2008’s “The Means & the Machine” and 2009’s “The Devil Showed Me His Hand,” was produced by Steve Slavich (Danielle Howle, Stretch Armstrong) and mixed by Chris Stamey (Whiskeytown, Yo La Tengo). With a strong emphasis on lyrics, American-esque rock ’n’ roll and good times, American Gun continues its regional climb to the top with the release of its latest album, “Therapy,” which debuted last month. American Gun will perform Saturday at The Village Tavern, 1055 Johnnie Dodds Blvd., with Kennebec. Visit www.charlestonvillagetavern.com or call 388-7008.

Acoustic Alchemy a good band for a long time

Acoustic Alchemy is made up of Gary Grainger (from left), Miles Gilderdale, Greg Carmichael, Fred White and Greg Grainger.

Support live music

There’s nothing like experiencing music live. I go to a lot of shows. I report on some of them, review some, emcee a few and, when there’s time, go to some just as a fan. All these avenues lead to rich, rewarding experiences. There’s something viscerally exciting about actually feeling the energy from the vibrations live music sends out to the audience. That feeling can’t be repro-

The good ones make you taste it, smell it, hear it and feel it. For instance, I reviewed the Dianne Reeves concert for The Post and Courier last week, and the atmosphere was so charged, it was all I could do to keep my journal-

Happy Father’s Day!

The winner of this year’s Jazz Artists of Charleston’s Jazz Citizenship Award is Dr. Karen Chandler, co-principal of the Charleston Jazz Initiative and associate professor of arts management at the College of Charleston. Chandler was formally

recognized recently at JAC’s reception for its donor arm, Friends of JAC, in the Gallery Room at McCrady’s Restaurant. It was a “real jazz party” as described by Dr. Al Fraser, Dizzy Gillespie biographer, when he was chatting about the soulful music by Columbia’s Modus Bone, led by Dr. Mitch Butler, the fine food and camaraderie and the bestowing of the honor on Chandler. Previous winners include Mayor Joe Riley in 2009 and Peter Duffy and the late Francoise Duffy in 2010. Chandler has tirelessly pursued the scholarly investigation of South Carolina’s jazz history and legacy. The Lowcountry is taking its rightful place as a major cradle of jazz in America, and her work has contributed mightily to that effort.

Carmichael said in press materials, “The band has been through a lot of changes over the years, but the concept of two acoustic guitars has always been the emotional centerpiece which draws people close. I’m happy these days because I love all the musicians in the band and it’s great touring with them and playing live onstage. ... We’re excited to have so many loyal fans who have enjoyed taking the journey with us. The positive spirit behind our music and album titles comes from the wonderful relationship we have always had with them.” The band is due to release a new album, “Roseland,” this summer.

ith all the different styles of jazz swirling around the Lowcountry these days, the Music Farm will give listeners a chance to hear legitimate contemporary jazz when Acoustic Alchemy takes its stage at 8 p.m. June 16. Longtime local producers Ear for Music and All in Entertainment are bringing in the famous quintet. When Rob Lamble of EFM told me about this, I was glad to hear it. Acoustic Alchemy, a British band that goes back to the ’80s, is a good representative of the so-called smooth jazz genre, a style that often is spurned by purists as derivative and superficial. Like any other form, some of it is, but not all, especially bands like this one that swing and improvise with the best of them with a popular flair. Some famous names in the genre are Kenny G, David Sanborn, Najee, George Benson, Marc Antoine, Peter White, Joe Sample, David Benoit, Dave Koz, Bob James, Pieces of a Dream and The Rippingtons. Giants all. One of the unique things about triple Grammy-nominated Acoustic Alchemy is that it is guitar driven. It’s fronted by founding member Greg Carmichael, on nylon string guitar, and Miles Gilderdale, on steel string and electric guitar, who played with Julio Iglesias. Greg Grainger plays drums, formerly with Whit-

ist hat on I was so into it. Bob Belden, who performs Friday at McCrady’s and who produced Reeeves’ early recordings for Blue Note, calls her singing an act of nature. He’s right. There’s nothing more compelling than seeing her live. So take advantage of the full plate we have right now, and go out the rest of the year to hear your favorite stuff. Be adventurous, too. Try something you’ve never heard before. You may like it. It should be like enjoying good food. Don’t always order the same thing. Broaden your musical horizons. Take advantage. You can do it in Charleston.

A primer on Primus Spoleto’s basketball fans

BY DEVIN GRANT

BY SETH SOMMERFELD

Special to The Post and Courier

here are any number of bands in rock-’n’roll history that have been fronted by bassists. Rush, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead and The Police all feature lead singers who play what punk legend Mike Watt so affectionately calls the “thud stick.” Few bassists, though, have taken the bass guitar to such heights as Les Claypool, the frontman for the California band Primus, which performs tonight at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center. The bass is generally classified as a rhythm instrument, but either nobody told Claypool or, and this is more likely, he just doesn’t care. Claypool, who is backed by guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Jay Lane, plays bass like a lead electric guitar, bending notes and taking off on ridiculously intricate solos. As a result, Primus really doesn’t sound like any other band out there. Originally formed as Primate in the late ’80s near San Francisco, the band was forced to change its name to Primus after another band, The Primates, threatened legal action. The band’s first studio album, 1990’s “Fizzle Fry,” spawned the single “John the Fisherman.” It wasn’t until the following year, when Primus released its major label debut, “Sailing the Seas of Cheese,” that things started to take off. That album featured the song “Jerry Was a Race Car Driver,” which received decent airplay on both radio and MTV. The unorthodox bass line that begins the song served as an introduction to Primus for many listeners. The band’s much-anticipated follow-up, 1993’s “Pork

After the Heat makes a 3 of its own, the Mavs put the ball in Nowitzki’s hands again, and he barrels to the hole and lays in the winning bucket with 3 seconds left. At least for a moment, the room becomes as rowdy as any sports bar. In the aftermath of the celebration, it becomes clear that it’s more than geography that makes these young adults cheer for Dallas. The Maver-

Even the musicians acknowledge the similarities between a top-notch orchestra and a championship-caliber basketball team. “It’s all about sacrificing your stardom for the greater good,” says Gregg.

As the trend grows in popularity, expect more pop-up shops on King Street and beyond.

FILE/STAFF

Pop-up shops are a Novel idea

n the fashion front, one of the more positive things to come out of the current recession has been the emergence of pop-up shops. Across the country in cities big and small, they’ve been a bright spot in a growing retail landscape of empty storefronts and partially occupied shopping malls. If you happen to be a regular window shopper on King Street, then you’ve probably noticed the pop-up shop trend over the past couple of years. Sometimes a pop-up shop will take over an empty space for a few weeks or an established brand will host one within its own store. During Charleston Fashion Week, both Billy Reid and Hampden Clothing

featured in-store pop-up shops, and Cynthia Rowley has hosted several over the past year. One example of a pop-up shop taking up residence in an empty space is at 501 King St. The brainchild of Lindsey Carter, who was a past finalist at Charleston Fashion Week, simply is known as “Pop Up Shop” and will be open until later this month.

Besides pieces from Carter’s own line, Troubadour, the shop will carry local labels Proud Mary, Ashley Reid, Library, Theodosia, Julie Wheat and Kate Long Stevenson as well as items from Rose Kenan Interiors. A pop-up shop that’s making the leap to permanent store is Novel, which opens a showroom this week at 341 King St, Suite B. It’s just above the Cynthia Rowley store. As a pop-up shop, Novel briefly took over the old Nancy Koltes store on Upper King, a big, airy space that was a perfect compliment to the high-end vintage of Lauren Lail’s Library and Jane Pope Cooper’s two lines (Jewelry and Balboa). The space also featured local swimsuit designer Marysia

and original artwork by local artists. Their holiday shop was such a success in 2009 that they revisited the space the following March during Fashion Week. If you weren’t able to make it to the pop-up shop, there’s plenty of opportunity to visit the new store. Novel will stock items from Lail’s incredible collection of vintage from Library: Archives of Fashion, costume and fine jewelry from Jane Pope Cooper and children’s gifts from Blue Chickadee.

‘Sunny Side’ of Spanish artist on display at store

have never met Eva Armisen, but I’d definitely like to. Actually, I don’t really need to meet her; simply walking around in her brain will do. You’ll understand after seeing her work. I actually saw her artwork years ago when a friend was representing her and have been trying to follow her since. I think it’s exciting that she finally has found a retail home here in Charleston because her work is unusual, interesting and simply makes you smile. Armisen is actually from Spain. She still lives in Spain, so she has different representatives promoting her work in other countries, and Lucinda Eden on King Street is the newest of those. The Lucinda Eden store in the Antique District of King Street is known for its clothing designs. Owner Lucinda Robinson has her own designs, Leigh Magar Hats, high-end jewelry and other accessories. It’s a great place to find unusual pieces. Armisen’s artwork is the perfect complement. Robinson says Armisen’s oil paintings and etchings “illustrate extraordinary forms of amusement intended to charm, shield and

divert loved ones from all forces dark and dismal. Her art reveals the determination of a woman who can

walk a tight rope, pull a rabbit out of a hat or change the world while dancing through life,” she says. The exhibition, “Sunny Side Up,” will consist of Armisen’s drawn and painted character portraits and activities that serve as detours from daily human struggles. “She shows us that the seemingly small events of everyday life, like spending time with family and friends, are the ones with the greatest meaning, and that difficult passages in life are only momentary,” says Robinson.

Occasionally a deal crops up that causes even the best players to have a blind spot. This one caughtoutworldchampionNorberto Bocchi. First, cover up the East and West hands and consider declarer’s problem. South declares four spades, and West leads the diamond seven to the 10 and king.Declarerplaysthekingand ace of trumps, finding that West started with Q-J-9. How should he continue? Whathappenedatthetablewas thatdeclarerplayedhisothertwo top diamonds and then led a low club.However,thisallowedWest to win with the king, cash the spade queen, and play the diamond nine, forcing declarer to ruff in hand with his last trump. Declarercouldnowplayaclubto dummy’s queen, but couldn’t get backtohandtocashtheclubace. When the heart ace was wrong, he had to go down. Can you see where he went wrong? After the spade king and ace, he should have played a club immediately. This does not give up on any of his chances since, once trumps fail to break, he needs either the club king or heart ace to be right. Now West again wins the club king, cashes the spade queen, and plays a diamond, but this time declarer can win, play a club to dummy’s queen, a diamond back to his hand, and the club ace, discarding a heart from dummy. A club ruff followed by a diamond ruff sees him home.

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19): A change of plans may cause you anxiety, but if you go with the flow, you will find everything works out in the end.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Size up your situation before you engage in an emotional dispute. Space and time will heal any wounds you’ve endured.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22DEC. 21): Changes at home will give you greater freedom to follow the path that suits you best. Adventure is in front of you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on personal change that can update your image and your outlook, but don’t go overboard with regard to expense. Be wise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You won’t sit idle for long and will find great comfort in stepping up and taking care of business. Travel and talks will help your cause.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): You’ll be impulsive when it comes to love and spending money. Curb your enthusiasm before you have to do something you don’t want to.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23OCT. 22): Travel plans or involvement in interest groups will allow you to interact with people from different backgrounds.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): Changes to your living arrangements will make you feel more at ease and better situated to pursue your interests.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Not everyone will share your point of view. Secrecy will be in your best interest. The less explaining you have to do, the better. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Make the changes needed at home to smooth things over. Letting others help you will lead to suggestions you may be able to implement into your plans.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23NOV. 21): Finalizing something you’ve been working on a long time by making alterations that never occurred to you in the past will result in higher revenue.

PISCES (FEB. 19MARCH 20): If you meddle, prepare to face complaints and, if you don’t, you will have to watch someone head in a direction you don’t like.

Glasses are for her eyes only

Crowning a champion BY REBEKAH BRADFORD

Special to The Post and Courier

With two championships on the line this week, it seems like the right time to have some sports trivia. In the NBA, Miami star LeBron James is getting closer to his first championship against Dallas, and over in the NHL, Vancouver is battling it out with Boston for the Stanley Cup. Last week’s winner, Christa Sacks, is taking on house painter Kevin Greenspan.

QUESTIONS 1. What team won the Stanley Cup last year? 2. Name the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup. 3. What is a tradition/superstition players have about the trophy? 4. Which American team has won the most Stanley Cups? 5. How big was the original Stanley Cup trophy? 6. Name the team that won the 2010 NBA Championship. 7. Who are Miami’s Big Three? 8. Who is the first European-born NBA player to be awarded the MVP? 9. What NBA team has won the most championships? 10. Dallas and Miami met before in the NBA championships in 2006. Who won?

CONCLUSION Despite an impressive result last week, Christa met her Waterloo with sports trivia, claiming not to know anything about the subject. So this week’s Head2Head trivia champ is Kevin, who’ll return next week to defend the title.

DEAR ABBY full on their face, they’re usually not reading glasses. If a person is wearing glasses, do not ask to borrow them. Ask if there is a pair of reading glasses at the wait station. — THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND DEAR “BLIND”: For a stranger to expect to borrow someone’s glasses is presumptuous.

EAR ABBY: I am severely myopic and can’t see without my prescription eyewear. Yet people continually ask me if they can “borrow” my glasses to read the menu. (I work as a hostess.) Abby, mine are not reading glasses; they are my eyes, literally.

I disagree. I think it is inappropriate to even ask. Most people do not walk around with reading glasses fully on their face. Reading glasses are often halfway down the nose or hanging around a person’s neck. If someone is wearing glasses

6. Los Angeles Lakers. 7. LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade. 8. Dirk Nowitzki. 9. Boston Celtics (17). 10. Miami.
