his July seemed to be steamy hot in more ways than the weather in the Lowcountry. The debate over bicycling on local roadways heated up, once again, after Dr. Mitch Hollon was struck and killed while bicycling on the James Island connector on the morning after Independence Day. For many, the tragedy was all too familiar. On July 21, 2010, Edwin Gardner, a community leader, was struck on Montagu Street near Lockwood Drive while biking. He died a few days later.

It’s not a memorial this year. It’s a celebration of a mode of transportation that is good legacy alive.

‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ not so crazy or stupid

BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic

or a movie that intends to be rooted in a recognizable and insightful reality, “Crazy, Stupid, Love” features an awful lot of moments that clang in a contrived, feel-good manner. Because you see, it’s simultaneously trying to charm us. Sometimes, it achieves that goal. At the same time, it also has its share of moments that hit just the perfect, poignant note, with some laughs that arise from a place of honesty. When you assemble a cast that includes Steve Carell, Julianne Moore, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, you’re already on the right track. Because “Crazy, Stupid, Love” also aims to be a romantic comedy of substance and intelligence. Sometimes, it achieves that goal, too. That’s what’s frustrating here: the unevenness of it all. The relationship between Carell and Jonah

BEN GLASS/WARNER BROS. PICTURES/MCT

Ryan Gosling (left) and Steve Carell in “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” Bobo as his 13-year-old son has a pleasing openness, for example, but eventually the two are at the center of a cringe-inducing climax: the kind of painfully public, cathartic monologue that only happens in movies in general and in this genre

specifically. Then there’s the romance between Gosling and Stone, which has both terrific, flirty sparks and some sweet, quiet moments as they reveal themselves to each other. But then a trip to meet her family results

in a knock-down, drag-out brawl, a scene of immature rage and physicality that comes out of nowhere and doesn’t fit with the rest of the movie. The break-up that kicks off “Crazy, Stupid, Love” also comes out of nowhere,

at least from the perspective of Carell’s character, Cal. A nebbishy 40-something, Cal thought he was enjoying a nice life with his high school sweetheart, Emily (Moore), and their two kids. But at the film’s start, Emily announces over dinner that she wants a divorce, then proceeds to inform Cal that she’s slept with someone else: a smarmy co-worker played briefly and rather unconvincingly by Kevin Bacon. Cal moves out, then goes to a local bar night after night to drown his sorrows and bore fellow patrons with his tale of woe; the place is stylish, trendy and filled with gorgeous young women, which wouldn’t seem to be Cal’s speed, but whatever. A fellow regular who does have a way with the ladies, Gosling’s Jacob Palmer, spots Cal, feels sorry for him and offers to take him under his wing. Gosling is charismatic in the role and gets a rare chance to show his comic abilities. He is an expensively dressed trust-fund kid whose entire raison d’etre is picking up chicks. A sequence in which he and Carell go to the mall provides an amusing twist on the obligatory tryingon-clothes montage. But it’s hard to believe Jacob would ever give Cal the time of day, much less go out of his way to give this middleaged nerd an extreme makeover; Carell, who’s also a producer here, does bring his everyman pathos to the role, and it’s good to see him do some rare dramatic work. Jacob is thrown off his game by the one woman at the bar who won’t give in so easily to his cheesy oneliners: Stone’s Hannah, an aspiring lawyer. They have such different

movie review ★★ (of 5)

DIRECTOR: Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. STARRING: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Julianne Moore. RATED: PG-13 for coarse humor, sexual content and language. RUN TIME: 1 hour, 48 minutes. WHAT DID YOU THINK?: Find this review at www. charlestonscene.com and offer your opinion of the film.

vibes but they’re so great together, they almost make you wish the whole thing was about them. Stone is just vibrant, every emotion flashes across her face so vividly. Moore, meanwhile, is also capable of expressiveness and depth, but she can’t do much with a character who’s barely developed on the page. You don’t have a sense of who Emily is or what her marriage to Cal was like so it’s hard to gauge the depth of their loss. One strong scene at their son’s parentteacher conference begins to hint at it, and makes you long for more. “Crazy, Stupid, Love” comes from directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who wrote “Bad Santa” and wrote and directed “I Love You, Phillip Morris.” It never has the daring or liveliness that marked either of those earlier films; it feels too calculated and safe. (The script is from Dan Fogelman, whose previous films include the animated “Cars” and “Tangled.”) It never gets crazy or stupid enough to make you truly fall in love with it.

WADE SPEES/STAFF

We began with the trifecta ($6.75), a trio of guacamole, salsa, cheese dip and chips. We jazzed up the guacamole with salt and fresh lime juice, added some hot sauce from the condiment bar to the salsa and made peace with the placid queso. The corn chips were generous in quantity, but considering the proliferation and quality of corn chips now found in the grocery snack aisle, Juanita’s lacked the golden goodness of maize, the salty snap that fans the desire for a Margarita or cerveza. When it comes to seasoning, the kitchen plays it very safe. Think of this as TexMex “lite.” That may very well be why so many families with young children were happily enjoying the tacos and quesadillas. To be sure, the kitchen at Juanita Greenberg’s does not reach beyond its culinary grasp. There is no promise of complex moles, sopas de hongos or corn-fungus-

enhanced dishes. However, with the simplicity and immediacy of the flavors of the street foods of Mexico and the American Southwest and the ease of building flavor profiles with our access to chiles both fresh and dried, the food tasted sanitized. The contrast of textures and temperatures that provide the eating allure for most border state dining was missing. The ratio of filling to tortilla was off-balance. Portion sizes will please, and the young and the hungry will like the prices. Not sure what Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya would feel about the nachos that he apparently “invented” in 1943, but if you are looking for a pleasant spot to quench your thirst, you will find Juanita Greenberg’s soldiers on with an iterative menu of soft flour tortillas that apparently does not go against the grain of many of its fans.

Pigs in a blanket at O-Ku.

BY ANGEL POWELL

Special to The Post and Courier

little over a year ago, executive chef Sean Park added the Izakaya-Japanese Street Food section to the O-Ku menu. Izakaya is a perfect choice for the sushi-timid customer or one in search of a quick bite during happy hour. This section of the menu is priced $9-$15, reasonable for Japanese food in an upscale venue. One Park of my favorite choices on the menu was the Pigs in a Blanket, miso-

marinated Japanese pork belly grilled and served in sweet pickled daikon wrappers and topped with kimchee. The kimchee is one of my favorite elements of this dish. Kimchee, if you are not familiar, is a traditional Korean dish of fermented vegetables. There is a subtle, or not so subtle, heat to kimchee that livens up any dish. Q: Why did you want to add Japanese Street Food to your menu? A: We really believed that the simplicity of street food would be a great addition to the menu and would encourage people to try many different things.

He wears many hats related to his love of music. In fact, it was at an office recently that I was reminded of that. I was at the Jazz Artists of Charleston offices on St. Philip Street, hanging out in the upstairs suite. At one point, Lewis’ daughter, Catie, came sauntering by where I was sitting, collecting some office supplies. It turns out, she was helping her dad and mom, Jill

The dynamic duo co-authored and recorded two CDs, “Swagger” (2003) and “Fearless Jones” (2006).

So much so, his talents seem to be taken for granted. I’ve certainly been aware of them for years now, so maybe that’s why it’s taken me so long to write about him. Speaking of big bands, Lewis is a charter member of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra. He’s a conceptual contributor, based on his legion of experiences making music, and he’s a steadying influence on the band. His ideas are relevant; and they work. The arrangements he has done for the band are magnificent. For the January Jazz on the Screen concert, he offered a killer version of the theme from “The Jetsons” as well as his version of “The Muppet Show” theme, the big-

gest hit of the show. For the Music of Miles Davis concert in May, his “All Blues” did Davis great justice, and his version of “Seven Steps to Heaven,” one of the most difficult pieces in the jazz canon, was stellar. He closed that one out with a wicked alto solo that had the house on its feet before the song was done. No one around here contributes to jazz on as many levels as Lewis does. He plays, composes, arranges, leads bands, teaches, collaborates and inspires. I wouldn’t be surprised if he can sing, too. But wait, he does that on his horn.

Blind Boys of Alabama

Old 97’s

GRAND THEATRE VOL. 2/NEW WEST When the Texas alt-country band Old 97’s released “Grand Theatre Volume One” in 2010, it proved to be one of the most popular releases by the band in quite some time. Recorded live in an empty theater, the songs were mostly textbook examples of why Old 97’s has achieved its cult status among listeners of the genre. Now comes “Vol. 2,” which features 13 more new songs from the band. One might think that all of the good material would get used on the first release, but interestingly enough the songs on “Vol. 2” are actually better. Longtime fans will love twangy tunes such as “Brown Haired Daughter” and “Ivy.” Other songs, such as “I’m a Trainwreck” and “White Port,” get a bit more experimental, but there is nothing here that is going to alienate fans. Rhett Miller’s vocals are as strong as ever, and Ken Bethea’s guitars deftly go from a twang to a scream depending on what’s needed. This is one follow-up that actually outdoes its predecessor. KEY TRACKS: “Brown Haired Daughter,” “Ivy,” “No Simple Machine”

TAKE THE HIGH ROAD/SAGUARO ROAD For nearly three quarters of a century the Blind Boys of Alabama have been recording and touring, bringing their unique form of gospel music to the masses. In the world of gospel music, these guys are legends, basically the godfathers of the Southern gospel movement. Although the years have brought about various personnel changes, the core mission and sound of the Blind Boys of Alabama has remained largely unchanged. “Take the High Road” finds the band members delving into the potentially unfamiliar territory of country music. Don’t worry; the Boys have not suddenly decided to start covering Taylor Swift songs or anything as drastic as that.

he Asheville-based Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band offers audiences “Nu-Funk” with elements of hip-hop, reggae, ska and Latin soul in their music, creating unique and diverse shows. With a reputation for crowd-pleasing tricks, dancing and off-the-wall behavior, they always leave audiences wanting more. See them Friday at The Pour House. “We can’t let all of the surprises out of the bag yet,” shared newest members Lee Allen and Mary Frances. “But what we can say is we always have some new tunes on the table whether they be originals or surprise classic covers.” Members of the Booty Band include: Allen on the drums; Frances, keys and vocals; Greg Hollowell, saxaphone and flute; Derrick Johnson, trombone; Al Al Ingram, bass and vocals; and J.P. Miller, guitar and vocals. After the band’s first album release, “Now You Know,” in 2007, they continued work with the recording of “Doin’ It Hard.” Since 2010, they have completed three national tours and received a Band of the Year award in addition to Home Grown Music Network’s Album of the Year for “Now You Know.” “Doin’ It Hard,” with an anticipated release for fall, represents the band’s reflection of life, music, touring, performing and recording, giving the band a redefined sound. It also will be the first release with the current lineup of the group. There is no doubt the distinct energy and sound has provided the band a

Lowcountry bars serve up a diverse offering of karaoke nights BY LISA RYAN

Special to The Post and Courier

hether they’ll admit it or not, it’s widely known that everyone secretly dreams of being a rock star. They use a bar of soap as a microphone and rock out in the shower, or belt out a tune in the car — oftentimes drawing embarrassed laughs from nearby drivers. But given that most of the

population sounds more like an “American Idol” reject than winner, those dreams of stardom oftentimes live in vain. Except, of course, when it comes to karaoke. Across the Lowcountry, people flock to local watering holes whenever there’s a chance of living out their Axl Rose dreams of singing and headbanging through karaoke. They leave their inhibitions at their barstools as they step up to the

mike and sing their favorite songs, with little regard to how they really sound. Charleston hosts countless karaoke nights at an eclectic array of bars offering a diverse selection of karaoke options throughout the week.

Bartender Andy Pearce thinks that the bar’s chilledout vibe is the key to the night’s success. “We’re pretty laid back and accepting in general, so people are a bit more willing to get up and make fools of themselves in front of strangers,” he said.

A few other karaoke spots around town:

KARAOKE From Page 20E

WHERE: Wet Willie’s, 209 East Bay St. WHEN: 9 p.m. Tuesdays. PHONE: 853-5650. SCENE: Preppy, country, some tourists. POPULAR SONGS: “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” by Journey, “Brass Monkey” by the Beastie Boys, “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot, “Shoop” by Salt-n-Pepa.

Downtown bar and restaurant Wet Willie’s is a popular spot for those in search of karaoke. Known for its strong frozen daiquiri drinks, the bar draws a preppy crowd of all ages (over 21) — you’re sure to find young men decked in polos and Croakies singing country songs or belting a sappy Enrique Iglesias tune on a typical night here — in addition to some older people and tourists. For the past year, the evening has been hosted by D.J. Wild Bill (otherwise known as Billy Covington), an enthusiastic guy who receives as many as 200 song requests on a given night. “It’s really fast paced and fun,” he said. “I try to get through as many requests as I possibly can.” Covington chats with the crowd, and his open and warm demeanor helps firsttimers loosen up and take the mike after they enjoy a couple of the frozen libations. He also said that it isn’t uncommon for a more seasoned singer to join in on the fun. “Sometimes you get one who can actually sing, who comes out and does karaoke to practice,” he said.

WHERE: Jimbo’s Rock Lounge, 1662 Savannah Highway. WHEN: 8 p.m. Wednesdays. Band usually goes on around 10:30 p.m. PHONE: 225-2200. SCENE: Rock, punk, laid back. POPULAR SONGS: “Zombie” by The Cranberries, “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse, “Creep” by Radiohead, “Mother” by Danzig.

Mia Jenkins and Chris Gould perform at Jimbo’s Rock Lounge in West Ashley. The spot hosts live band karaoke on some Wednesdays.

Zach Groom rocks out at The Upper Deck Tavern in downtown Charleston.

Ron Rivers sings at Blue’s House of Wings in Mount Pleasant. singing with the live band at Jimbo’s Rock Lounge on the first Wednesday of every month. Backed mostly by members of local band As If, the live band karaoke fills

the huge gap left when Metal Mondays at the former Cumberland’s bar ceased to exist. As Jimbo’s is still building its reputation as a Wednes-

day night karaoke venue, the live band is restricted to once a month, with DJrun karaoke offered the rest of the time. Gould has hosted the live band karaoke since February (after hosting classic karaoke at the venue since last June), and said that it draws a different sort of crowd than his Upper Deck gig. “The crowd here doesn’t drink as much as other people. They will travel from Summerville to get to West Ashley, whereas at the Upper Deck, it’s people who live downtown and won’t leave downtown,” Gould said. Despite the mellow demeanor of the crowd, the bar is still technically a rock venue and brings in plenty of alternative people. “There are a few metal and punk fans who come here, and that’s what I’m trying to cultivate,” he said.

It’s definitely a country music crowd at Blue’s, though Russell maintains that you’re just as likely to hear people belting out pop songs as well. “One of the things that I like about a karaoke bar is that you never know what you’re going to hear,” he said. “You may hear a Garth Brooks song, and the next time you may hear Rihanna. It goes from one spectrum to the other. It’s true variety and a melting pot of music.”

Larry Luk (left) and Ruel Chambers sport shirts from Luk’s We Are The Process brand.

Clothing brand introduces new line Saturday at Barsa

BY ELIZABETH BOWERS

Special to The Post and Courier

ts signature hashtag is #GrowTheBrand. Atlanta clothing brand We Are The Process, of course, can be found on Twitter, an official website and the blog that started it all, Epidemik Coalition. We Are The Process is Larry Luk, Georgios Saliaris and Jorge Menes. Its T-shirts and fitted hats are designed with an eye for graphics and influenced by all that is Southern. It’s Native American-inspired. Blogging under Epidemik Coalition since May 2006, they shared “design news with Southern perspective,” saw there was enough

interest in what they were doing and then wanted to do more. Luk, Saliaris and Menes, who all met at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, started EC Design Company, abbreviated to EC/DC, and then continued to grow the brand with We Are The Process. They are a big player in the Southern streetwear movement. Luk uses one of their less obvious designs to describe who they are as businessmen: “We have the octopus. They have their eight tentacles. In a metaphorical sense, they do lots of things like us. Reach out.” We Are The Process started with T-shirts. “And we will always have the T-shirt,” Luk says, and

continues, “We don’t want to transform into another animal.” One of their designs features 13 stars for the 13 Southern states. Some shirts merely say, “We Are The Process.” Their name has a lot to do with the design process. Luk says, “One of the themes we use a lot is the end, whether that’s the end of the creative process or the end of the world.” He continues, “A lot of times, creative types want to keep working and working until someone takes it away from them. The end marks the process, though.” We Are The Process’ Summer 2011 line will be introduced at Saturday’s Christmas in July event at Barsa.

WHAT: Christmas in July. WHEN: 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Saturday. WHERE: Barsa, 58 Line St. HOW MUCH: $5 at the door. MORE INFO: www. ecdesignco.com, www. wearetheprocess.com, www.epidemikcoalition. com.

If you bring a toy to the event, you’ll receive discounts on the clothing line. The event will benefit local charity Courageous Kidz. DJ Sonar will be there to make it a party. And two Southern cities, Atlanta and Charleston, will try to grow the movement.

“IOP Connector Sunrise” by Joe Barber.

Goodbye, Karin Olah

R40-559238

Oh, it’s a mixture of happy and sad when artists outgrow their nests. Textile artist Karin Olah has been a staple of the Charleston art community for as long as I can remember. Her artwork and personality have captured the hearts of many. There will be a farewell solo show for Olah on Aug. 5 with the regular First Friday Art Walk. But SCOOP studios Contemporary Art Gallery will be hosting a “Bon Voyage Preview” event 5-8 p.m. Saturday at the gallery, 57½ Broad St. The artist, who is moving to Boulder, Colo., will be in attendance and there will be

treats from Sugar Bakeshop. “Unwound and Bound” will be on view through Aug. 27, and includes 20 new original works of art, combining Olah’s two series: floral and abstract. “I am finding connections between winding vines and thread on a spool. I am letting the organic shapes learned from my first series (floral) transform into abstract studies,” explains Olah. Gallery owner Colleen Deihl says that Olah’s textiles work in a manner that mimics the flow of paint from a brush. Intricately cut, placed and pasted textiles are combined with gouache, acrylic and graphite to create collage paintings that are deep in color and texture, Deihl says. For information, go to the gallery’s website, www. scoopcontemporary.com or the artist’s website, www. karinolah.com.

Duckworth exhibit

This Friday, artist and poet Helen Duckworth will have an opening reception showcasing her latest body of work called “Dreams and Reflections.” The organizer of the show, Josh James of Beyond the Gallery, is very excited to

help Duckworth unveil what she’s been working on. Her combination of visual art and poetry bring a nice balance, and the reception will begin with a poetry reading by the artist. “This grouping of pictures attempts to tap beneath the surface of things: a face, a relationship, a quiet moment of reflection. The process of thought is suspended, the faces come into focus, hitherto unknown. The touch of a hand, an arm gently enfolding. These gestures are an invitation to come in, to share what we already know, this familiar feeling underneath the veil of thought. It is like the first time our mother held us in her arms,” says Duckworth. Friday night’s reception, which is free and open to the public, will be 6-9 p.m. at The Real Estate Studio, 214 King St. Light snacks and refreshments will be served. For information, visit www.beyondthegalleryonline.com or call James at 991-2042.

EAR ABBY: “In the Dark in Texas” was wondering about the correct way to tilt blinds. Light coming in through a window should not be the deciding factor for which way the blinds close. Privacy should be of highest importance. After years of living in apartments, I have learned the direction of a blind’s slats should change depending on the location of the window. If the window is on the ground floor, the blind should be closed slats up. Otherwise, people can see in from the floors above. This information is particularly useful in multistory neighborhoods and apartment complexes. If you are on an upper floor and the slats are up, anyone can see in from the ground floor. So blinds on an upper floor should close slats down. If you live in the middle, your best bet is curtains. — AZALIAH IN WASHINGTON STATE DEAR AZALIAH: Readers’ views on this subject came from varying perspectives — privacy, light, heat, etc. But the consensus was the same. Read on: DEAR ABBY: “In the Dark” asked whether blinds should be closed with the slats up or down. As you said, it’s a matter of personal preference. As a former apartment manager, I can say from experience that closing them with the slats in a downward position will allow in enough sunlight to fade carpets, furniture and drapes. I close mine with the slats up — for privacy and to prevent the fading of items near the window. — FORMER APARTMENT MANAGER IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: My husband had a window treatment store years ago, and this is what we learned: If you are upstairs, the slats go down. If you are downstairs, they go up. To check this out, after dark with the lights on inside, go outside and look inside. You will be able to

DEAR ABBY see clearly what is going on in the house. — SHANNON IN OLYMPIA, WASH. DEAR ABBY: It is common knowledge (I thought) that slats tilted up deflect heat and light. Blinds tilted down let light in from above as well as heat in the summer and cold in the winter. Like toilet paper rolls, toothpaste tube squeezing and thermostat setting, this is yet another bone of contention in marriage. — COOLING DOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA Write www.DearAbby.com.
