Elegantly slobby Charlestonian, recently back after 16 years in Athens, Georgia. I remember the Killer Whales, the old Sonny Goldberg ads on TV, the "Happy Rain" kids show, and the Slip-Slidin' waterslide in Mt. P. I find high-quality beer, obscure rock records, and strong coffee irresistible. I edit and write for the City Paper's music section and play drums and make noise for fun.

Wave is dead. GM Chris Johnson, a horrible guy, probably single handedly killed it. One more step in the disappearence of local business, and the emergence of homogeneous junk. They just dont care.
