IN
When it comes to intern life at Gulfstream Communications, there is rarely a time to sit back and relax. In the midst of working on five publications; Charleston Magazine, Charleston Weddings, WNC Magazine, Grand Strand Magazine, and House Calls Magazine; assisting behind the scenes at photo shoots, running around photographing and interviewing local restaurants, and attempting to squeeze in a lunch break, you'd have to assume we were crazy for piling the task of creating a self-ran publication from scratch. The idea for a magazine produced soley by the Charleston interns came up during my first round of interning at Charleston in 2012. Camilla Nilsson, our Swedish, licorice and mellow-yellow loving Assistant Art Director, approached a few of the art interns and myself about making our own magazine and publishing it on Issuu. It is safe to say that we were all too intimidated about the work load on top of trying to impress our bosses at the magazine, so the idea unfortunately was dropped and never brought up again ... that is until I came back for round two. Returning as a Senior Art Intern, I knew that I wanted all of the interns from all of the departments to get to know each other, to take advantage of the talent that we had at our disposal, and to prove to Gulfstream Communications that they picked the right interns. A few very convincing conversations later, The IN was born. After three months of group emails, early morning photo shoots, swapping lunch breaks for cramped meetings in a back room, and a couple of all nighters, we learned a lot about the type of people we really were. This magazine would not be what it is without the dedication and sleepless nights of photographers like Jessica Doherty, who did a great job photographing Macintosh’s reviewed cocktail, and Co-Art Directors Elle Hawthorne and Tyler Henslee. A huge thanks goes out to Ruta Elvikyte who did a beautiful job photographing both Chroma Fashion and Jeanette Louise features. With the click of a button, the interns at Gulfstream Communications have made history: the first round of interns that successfully juggled producing five publications, as well as creating their own personal one from scratch — so make that six publications. With that said, enjoy The IN

Since its debut in 2007, Charleston Fashion Week has become a frontrunner of fashion showcases in the East Coast and the most prominent of events in the Southeastern region of the United States. Within only five years, CFW has gained national recognition and a top spotlight for clothing and designer events within North America, showcasing a range of emerging designers and models from al around the country. Put on by Charleston magazine, home to sister magazines Charleston Weddings and Charleston Homes, Fashion Week has become a huge success for all entities of the magazine...

behind the scenes
harlestonians have immersed themselves in a newfound but quickly loved tradition of this beautiful event, as it reflects the city's most ardent culture and rich history. Between the high-end runway parties and exquisite press events, CFW seems to be rising to the platform of other recognized international fashion weeks, as the city emerges a fashion hub. Charleston Fashion Week includes an emerging designer competition, a day specially dedicated to bridal wear and a top model "Rock the Runway" competition. In 2012, Charleston Fashion Week accommodated 7,500 event attendees, received more than 49 million press and media impressions, the CFW website received over 500,000 visitors, over 112 qualified media online during the shows and brought into Charleston a total economic impact of $2.4 million. It's easy to see that Charleston Fashion Week is no small southern event, but is now contending as a pathway and competitor to the fashion week shows in New York City and Milan.

I
t was the opening night of Mia Bergeron’s Gradual Thaw exhibition at Robert Lange Studios when I found myself in downtown Charleston with no plans and no money. First off, being downtown in Charleston with no money is just depressing; and considering I’ve lived here since I was three, I’ve already experienced most of the free tourist attractions. Therefore, I was alone and trying to kill time. I decided to swing by Robert Lange Studios for the Gradual Thaw opening night. Seeing as it was free and I’d been meaning to stop by Robert Lange Studios for one of the monthly exhibits. I wandered down Queen St., the in / summer 2013 21
THE IN / SUMMER 2013
dodging tourists and crowds of families, making my way to the gallery. As I arrived, I subtly wandered past the doorway, where I stood debating whether or not to walk in. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I wasn’t looking forward to walking in alone. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I pretended to have a telephone conversation as I walked into the gallery – maybe in attempts to look less awkward or just avoid a conversation with a stranger. Typically I wouldn’t admit to that, but we’ve all faked a telephone conversation once in our life. When I walked in, I quickly realized my “telephone conversation” was not only stupid but also unnecessary (seeing that no one was paying the slightest bit of attention to me,
due to the fact they were all enthralled by the exhibit). The gallery was packed and the energy was high. There were great vibes and a lot of friendly smiles. When I walked in, Mia’s work was hung in the room to the left where there were clusters of people surrounding each painting. I was slightly familiar with Bergeron’s work after looking up photos of her selected paintings for the show on the Robert Lange Studios' website. But there’s something authentic and memorable about seeing the artwork in person. Bergeron’s work not only poses thought, it makes you feel. Her work is moody, her palette is dark, and the subject matter is vague. The
rl s / A R O U N D TH E B L O C K audience is able to interpret meaning and significance in their own way. While Bergeron establishes the atmosphere and mood, her paintings leave you with questions rather than answers. Bergeron’s goal wasn’t to “offer any real answers in [her] work, mostly just posing questions to the viewer.” Her techniques and compositions have a way of touching a dark place in your soul. Her paintings consistently shared the same effect, everything flowed cohesively yet each painting revealed its own secrets and questions. Bergeron’s work is like a dark paradise and truly beautiful. Ultimately I was grateful for flying solo that night. Robert Lange Studios holds a great reputation in Charleston, and with good reason. The gallery is quaint, and the artistry is incredible. Charleston City Paper has voted Robert Lange Studios, Best Art Gallery in Charleston, for the past four years; and after experiencing Bergeron’s opening night, I can only
assume it’ll take number one for a fifth year. Overall there were great vibes, great people, and a phenomenal display of artwork. The talent and artistry that hangs inside this gallery is truly unbelievable. //

nterns A glimpse of the life of The IN crowd By: John Sebastian
24
THE IN / SUMMER 2013
rom the outside looking in, it’s hard to imagine that a distinguished magazine such as Charleston is created in the small and sometimes over-crowded office it resides in. Nestled in a maze of suites opposite a lawyer’s office and in front of a mortgage office, the home of Gulfstream Communications works on a total of five different publications. From the period at the end of a sentence to the belt of a fashion feature, the art, edit, and style interns help make sure Charleston magazine stays the city magazine. Each department’s interns have their own requirements and supervisor guiding and teaching the young professionals the ways of the magazine madness. Scattered about the office, the style interns hide away in a secluded studio upstairs. Behind closed doors, edit interns write next to a furry friend that frequents the office. And in the design den are the art interns, a group of busy-bees who are always hard at work. On any given day of the week, expect to find anywhere from eight to 12 interns making short trips from their computer to the printer and back. These interns not only work on Charleston magazine, but they also work on Grand Strand, WNC, House Calls, and Charleston Weddings. While working on five different publications, there’s always something to do. “My favorite thing is multitasking. I love having multiple projects from different people to work on. It keeps me busy and makes me see all the differences between the magazines,” says art intern Kristmar Muldrow. Upon first glance around the clown car of a room, it’s the computer
25
THE IN / SUMMER 2013
screens that give off the most light in here. Above a row of computers on the right, previous art interns faces adorn the wall like the Hollywood walk of fame. With the amount of people working in this room, it seems there aren’t quite enough computers. And according to interns Bailey Mennetti and Jessica Doherty, this is their least favorite thing about interning here. To Elle Hawthorne, the worst part about the internship is that “people always bring dessert in.” If the number of computers and dessert are the least favorite things here, it sounds like these interns have it too good; especially when you can have your cake and eat it too. The number of computers doesn’t stop this powerhouse team of interns from working hard, however. Under the direction of Camilla Nilsson, Assistant Art Director of Charleston, and Briana Paparozzi, Senior Art Intern and Editor-in-Chief of The IN, they make it work. Nilsson, who was once an intern herself, says her favorite thing about the internship program is seeing how her interns progress from the start of their time with the magazine to the end, and gauging if they did as well as she thought they would have done from their interview. Paparozzi, who returns to the magazine this summer for her second time, is working on decorating the bathroom and chuckles as she explains that working with everyone that she gets to is her favorite part. She gets to see how the publication comes to life from all sides and enjoys seeing how a magazine works as a whole. To secure this internship, the art interns must send their resume in and, if deemed worthy enough after the review, the hopefuls are asked to either come in for an interview or to schedule a Skype interview, where

they discuss the internship, what to expect, and other pertinent information. Since there are so many applicants, to help remind herself of who is who, Nilsson takes a screen shot of their Skype interview or draws a quick sketch with a distinguishing detail to help her remember who was the best of the bunch. The edit interns sit across the hallway, just past the dreadful printer, which is art intern Tyler Henslee’s least favorite thing because “It definitely has a mind of it’s own and pretty much hates everyone.” Closed off from the rest of the office, not because they bite, but because a pup named Oscar likes to accompany mommy, Charleston Weddings editor Melissa Bigner, to work. A stark contrast from the design room, this closet of a room fits four people. But, that fourth person has to sit next to a fridge with an odor problem. “That’s probably been the worst thing about this internship,” edit intern Greg Mangieri says. With only one publication to write for, this trio of students scour the internet for the city’s best events to include in the “About Town” section. These juvenile journalists are under the helpful watch of Assistant Editor Kinsey Gidick. Gidick, who has been in charge of the edit interns since she started in May 2011, says she picks the best three to four interns per quarter out of about 20 different applications. With two College of Charleston
students, both native northerners, and one University of Arizona student, these not-native-to-Charleston turned Charleston experts not only work on the back of the book event write ups, but each have their own projects to work on as well. “I love the fact that we get to write things that actually get published in the magazine, it’s not just busy work. And it allows me to go to so many different places and experience so many different things,” says Mangieri. His first printed by-line came this month with his “Spiked Sweets” round-up of alcoholic desserts around Charleston. Talk about a tough job, huh? Native of Arizona, Alyssa DeMember loves the fact that the magazine has allowed her to experience Charleston and dive deeper into the city and it’s happenings as both a writer and resident rather than a tourist. Heading into her final year of college at the College of Charleston, this internship has given Tatiana Donald the experience now to decide whether or not she would consider a career in the magazine industry. Her favorite day at work so far has been the Editor’s Luncheon. “Even though we were working, that hard work included a four-course meal and an open
wine bar - who wouldn’t like that?” As interns from all across the country, they came together for a summer of work to help continue to make Charleston magazine the Lowcountry’s magazine. “Charleston magazine is the best and most well-known Charleston-based magazine, so it was obviously my first choice to intern here,” design intern Stacy Verner explains. Chucktown isn’t a stranger to being in the top spot and as Verner so eloquently puts it, interning for a top magazine in a top city is a no brainer.

GREG MANGIERI , 22 COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON TATIANA DONALD, 21 COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON “Mostly, I love that the staff at Charleston magazine really strives to give interns a real and substantial work experience. They don’t treat interns as anything less than normal employees and there is a very mututally respectful air in the office at the magazine. It’s difficult to find an internship and professionals who not only want to but do in fact take your work seriously and professionall.”
ALYSSA DEMEMBER , 21 UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA “Working at Charleston has also opened my mind to new possibilities and helped me to have a better understanding of what I do and don’t want to do as a career path in the future. I’m honored to have been a part of such a great publication. Oh, and I don’t care what anyone else says--copy editing is fun.”

HOLY CITY HIGH Charleston is a running city. Rain or shine, an inordinate amount of people zip through the streets like Energizer bunnies. It seems to me that most Charleston residents were born with the “love to run” gene. These people are the lucky ones. I, on the other hand, am not among them. This is not to say that I hate exercise. In fact, I love exercise. Give me team sports, hiking, yoga. I adore them all. But since graduating college, there haven’t been many opportunities to participate in organized sports. I don’t have time to take hiking trips. I can’t afford to attend yoga classes every day. Running, really, was my most obvious choice for staying active. This meant that I had to find a way to coax myself out of bed every morning and into my running shoes. I had to tear down my psychological protestations during the run – what
31
THE IN / SUMMER 2013
they call the runner’s wall – in order to find my runner’s high. So I set my mind to it. I made a lot of music playlists. I bought good running shoes. I supplemented my runs with nutrition products. I repeated a mantra to myself. “Something is better than nothing.” In the beginning, it didn’t matter if I ran for ten minutes, thirty minutes, or two hours. It didn’t matter, as long as I did it. Believe me; the routine did not come easily, but it paid off. I joined thousands of other runners this past spring for the Cooper River Bridge Run, an annual 10K race from Mount Pleasant to downtown Charleston. The view from the top of the bridge is spectacular: the blue water of the harbor, the pristine white sailboats, the Holy City spread peacefully below. I finally found runner’s high, too. It comes after the run is over – the part when I collapse on my doorstep (after
stretching, of course) with sweat pouring down my face and blisters rubbing the inside of my shoes. It’s a feeling of accomplishment. It’s a feeling that comes only from the persistence of lacing up those sneakers and putting one foot in front of the other over and over again.

ime to break out a pencil and paper. Can’t find one? Don’t worry, just use your fingers, much easier. Put a list together of four different sour things. I’ll get you started with one, Sour Skittles. I’ll bet you a beer that beer wasn’t on that list. Sour beer, a centuriesold technique, catching on in a centuries-old city. With the growing support of sour beer, the recent passage of the Pint Law, which now allows all breweries in South Carolina to serve 64 ounces instead of a measly 16 ounces, and more highquality local breweries and distilleries on the rise, Chucktown may finally top the best beer city list, or have we gotten that spot before too? Sour beer tastes just like it sounds, sour, not to be confused with bitterness mostly caused by hops. Its sourness can range from the Sour Patch Kids’ tanginess to a Warhead’s puckering and is possible in every style of beer. Sour beer is created when either a variety of bacteria, rogue yeast strains, or fruits, spices, and other abnormal ingredients are added during the brewing

process. The addition of these extra ingredients produce different effects depending on their succession in fermenting and aging beer. If you’re on a sudden sour bender that you can’t kick with candy, or just want to try it for yourself, there are a few different places to belly up here in the Holy City and depending on your mood, you’ve got a quality list to pick from. If you want beers on beers on beers, head to the Craftsman Kitchen and Taphouse on Cumberland Street. Deceptively small with only about 10 taps in sight, it boasts a staggering seven page menu containing almost 100 different beers by the bottle and draft, including large format bottles as well– reaching up to $75 for a special addition Ghost Bottle by Brooklyn Brewery. If you’re not a seasoned sour and want
an easy introduction to the game, try the Classic Brouwerij Rodenbach from Belgium available in eight/16 ounces for $4/8. With a hint of red berry this red ale doesn’t taste quite as dark as it looks. If you're looking for something that’s got a little more

pucker power but still enjoyable, try the La Folie (2013) Sour Brown Ale Lips of Faith by New Belgium Brewing Co for $22. It’s tart and dry with a long finish but don’t get scared by the size. With 3-4 pours per bottle, it’s definitely worth it. And if just drinking your beer isn’t enough, be sure to order some of their PBR Focaccia or Dogfish Head Mustard. Last but not least, and certainly the youngest on this list, is Warehouse on the corner of Spring and St. Philip Streets. Aptly named, this once-hospitality supply location with a what-you-see-is-what-you-get
display of liquor and wine, actually has their spotlight on beer, even though they only have one sour. Concocting a variety of delicious beer cocktails, including one made with Aperol, St. Germain, squeezed lemon, lime, and orange slices topped with Anderson Valley Summer Solstice, and a choice of two Nitro beers, which uses Nitrogen as opposed to Carbon Dioxide for carbonation, this is the place to be if you want the best of both beer and cocktail worlds. The kitchen is not to be outshined here though. Whether it’s the selection of adult grilled cheeses, the fall-off-
the-bone wings, or the killer happy hour deals, Warehouse will certainly join the ranks of fellow thriving businesses in the ever-growing Charleston. Whether you’re sour beer barhopping, sticking with your favorite spot, or even paying a visit to the Charleston Beer Exchange on Exchange Street where you can purchase your own growler of draft sour beer, make sure you have a healthy supply of sour Nightcrawlers to go keep you going. I hope you’ve been keeping track - that’s four.

SATURDAYS AT THE CORNER OF K ING + CALHOUN WRIT TEN and DESIGNED BY ANNIE BERTHOLF
If you ever need some happy people to hang around, get an early start to your Saturday and head to the Charleston Farmers Market on Marion Square. There is much to celebrate. Celebrate your local farmer or your neighbor's small jewelry business. Buy a knitted sweater for your dog that you never realized you needed until you fell in love with the sweet woman who makes them. You will never regret a

purchase made at the Charleston Farmers Market because it feels too good to support your Charleston neighbors. It feels too good to get to know the heart behind a small, local business. Every owner I interviewed for this feature treated me with kindness and patience as I pulled them aside for several quick questions. Since that first Saturday morning, I've resisted my bed to touch base with those faces.
I've come to the conclusion that behind every stand at the Charleston Farmers Market is a good-hearted friend to be made. Talk to them. Ask them about their life. Most of them went to school for something else entirely and found their way to this market out of love. These are the kind of people you want to be around. The kind of people who are doing what they love at 30 and at 60.

MAPLE RIDGE FARM Beloved by many, Fritz first came to the Marion Square Farmers Market back in 1990 with a couple cartons of blueberries, one year after the market started. He’s been here every Saturday since. His produce has a very loyal customer base. I first met Fritz on July 19, 2013 when I drove out to his farm to assist a photographer for a Charleston Magazine feature. Fritz is bashful with cameras and one of the most genuine, kind-hearted men I’ve met. He speaks to you like an old friend. Make the trip out to Maple Ridge Farm to meet him for yourself and pick your own produce.

You can’t miss the specials board as soon as you walk in on your right. Written on an oversized skillet chalk board, I see the Smokey Joe and can’t pass it up. House smoked brisket, caramelized onions, aged cheddar, pickles, and cracked pepper bbq, this is no clean eating. The brisket itself was on the dry side but the cracked pepper bbq it was doused in made up for it, just delicious.

In the mood for some southern fried chicken and waffles with a twist? The Belle-Gem is what you’re looking for. Sandwiched between two bacon waffles comes buttermilk fried chicken, lettuce, tomato, whole grain mustard aioli and swiss cheese; it tastes as great as it sounds.

Inside, guests are greeted by the same bright feeling that lower King brings, just about 20 degrees cooler. The yellow and white with a touch of red color scheme welcomes guests and carries out onto the patio. Large windows facing King Street allow diners to admire passerbys while enjoying their meal. With plenty of tables and chairs, a counter lining the left wall, and a semi private dining room available for rent in the back, there’s no shortage of seating here.
If you’re headed in for brunch or breakfast, be sure to get the Cobblestone. On a benne seed bun it comes with a friend egg, tomato, arugala, gruyere cheese, candied bacon, lemon mayo, and a side of fruit, which was heaven. Perfectly built on the bun, the crunch and sweetness of the candied bacon with the lemon mayo and melted cheese went perfect together. Washing it down with a nice mimosa was the way to go.

n a city swarming with great places to eat, it’s a wonder the restaurant scene keeps getting better and better. Most notably of recent openings, for the breakfast and lunch lovers out there, would have to be Kitchen 208, at the beginning of the antique district after the world class King Street shopping. With an Italian ice cart directly across the street, this new people-watching paradise was practically calling my name.

Jeanette
e Louise BY: ALYSSA DEMEMBER
PHOTOGRAPHED BY: RUTA ELVIKYTE
eanette Louise has three goals: “To use my creativity to inspire other people and myself, to be able to make a living off of it, and to promote positive growth within myself and others.” Everything Jeanette Louise touches turns to art—or at least it seems that way. With a bubbly personality, a speckled nose, and long brown hair gradually ending in fiery red locks, the Charleston native, 23, is the embodiment of visual and conceptual creativity. An artist nearly all her life, she began as a painter and a drawer, and while painting remains her primary medium, she has moved on to so much more. Currently, Louise resides in downtown Charleston with her best friend and collaborator in art, Jack Hackenberg. Their apartment, on Hanover Street on the east side of the peninsula, also acts as the duo’s studio where they perform for audiences a musical styling of their own unique variety. It’s called “performance art,” and it encompasses the mediums of music—both vocal and instrumental—storytelling, poetry, costume, and visual art. Performing original music, Louise XXX / c h a r l e s t o n 63

"As an artist, you need a lot of alone time to develop your ideas and thoughts" and Hackenberg dress in hilarious costumes to portray their stories, setting up the scene in coordination with the lyrics, Louise says. One of Hackenberg’s characters is called “Boring Sir Johnny George,” where she dresses up in a psychedelic fish hat and a beard that nearly trails to the floor. “She made it easy for me to
start singing with music,” Louise says. “We basically live and breathe our art.” They call themselves “Jean Jacket,” a charming play on words between the two’s first names. And while Louise has finally found her footing amongst the Charleston art scene, it didn’t come out of nowhere.

Growing up in James Island, Louise was always surrounded by a family supportive of her creativity and passion. In fourth grade, one of her art teachers noticed that passion and sent her to a summer art camp, Louise recalls. “It was the first time anyone ever recognized me for something specifically.” Upon entering James Island High School, she began taking Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate studio art courses and received her certification in Career Technical Education in broadcast journalism (also through the high school) where

she gained videography experience. During the summers of her sophomore and junior year, Louise was also accepted into the prestigious Redux Summer Art Institute where she showcased her art as well as networked and connected with other students interested in her field from different schools. After graduating high school in 2009, Louise went on to attend Trident Technical College in North Charleston for two years but eventually left to pursue a videography internship for a freelance director for half a year. Then, ready for a new perspective and eager to be with boyfriend Jeff Lange, who had moved away, she packed up and headed to Salem, Mass., just outside of Boston. This is where Louise first began selling her artwork. Louise’s painting style is “graphic and illustrative,” often creating surreal-looking flowers and plant life with bold, thick, darkened lines. The floral themes in her work
symbolize growth and positivity, she says. Using acrylic and ink, she strays from the every day, realistic imagery, instead creating a spirit of surrealism with couplings of vibrant colors and dulled pastels and grays. One of her pieces, called “Posy 1,” blends lively crimson colors with bright and soft yellows, deep blues, and faded grays, intricately woven together in a series of stark lining. “I spent lots of time alone walking with our dog, Kota,” Louise says of her time in Salem. “We adventured and explored everyday.” She felt inspired by the New England atmosphere, architecture, and gardens, she explains, and started transitioning to activities outside of her comfort zone, like music and songwriting. “I became friends with some witty, cynical, and raw folks,” she continues. “We inspired each other and in the end I think I learned just as much from them as they did from me.” However, as August of 2012

approached, Louise would head back to her roots in Charleston, finally ready to establish a name for herself in the art world. “I said, ‘It’s time for me to start being a working artist.’” Louise spent the past year scouring newspapers and magazines for art shows to be a part of, including “Static in the Snow” Holiday Market at the Michael Mitchell Gallery as well as a few shows of her own. She worked in a studio shared with several other artists on King Street, but changed to a more private space soon after. “As an artist, you need a lot of alone time to develop your ideas and thoughts,” says Louise. It was around this time that she
met Hackenberg. Louise attended one of Hackenberg’s musical, visual performances and was entranced. “She was the first person I really opened up to,” Louise says, explaining that she began showing Hackenberg her songs and poems. The two “hit it off right away” and began regularly practicing together. During their performances, Hackenberg plays the banjo and saw, a type of musical instrument that makes a wind/whistle sound, while Louise sings and handles percussion. Now, the two are working on their first album, titled, “Have You Seen My Jean Jacket?” While the track list keeps growing, the album currently includes at least 14 original
songs, two written by Louise, and encompasses a “folk-pop” sound. The songs tell stories of “relationships and being who we are,” says Louise. “It’s going to be a raw, awesome sound.” As a barista at Muddy Waters Coffee Bar as well, Louise still gets her creative fix by making latté art for customers. She’s also hoping to have her first solo art show by the end of this summer and recently landed an internship with Robert Lange Studios. The future looks bright for Louise, full of excitement and a thriving imaginative spirit. Rest assured, patrons can always expect something new and fresh from this artist.
