An awesome dog surfing for a great cause
When this bird-loving dog wasn’t gonna work out as somebody’s assistant, it found a new lease on life – riding waves!

4th of July Blast at Patriots Point 2009
July 4th isn’t just my favorite holiday because my birthday is the next morning, but also because I always love a good fireworks show – and who better to give one than Patriot’s Point every year!
The party will be a blast as usual, but what’s even cooler is that you can see fireworks from all around Charleston when you are at Patriot’s Point – as a matter of fact, the only better view IMO is if you’re on a boat in the harbor; now that’s a site to see!
If you haven’t been to the Patriots Point 4th of July Blast yet, don’t just take my word for it; back in ‘07, the NYT said:
After an awesome 4 days of Tall Ships in Charleston’s harbor, if you still can’t get enough of these majestic vessels, you can take a ride on local favorite, The Schooner Pride, this Saturday, July 4th.
The Schooner Pride will be departing from the Aquarium Wharf at 360 Concord Street – to the left of the S.C. Aquarium – on July 4th at 7:00 PM and returning at 9:00. If the Patriot’s Point fireworks haven’t started yet, guests will be able to stay on board and watch from the dock – about the best seat you can get for this amazing show!
Tickets are only $42 per person and reservations are strongly recommended. They only have 49 seats available, and like always, it will be sold out!

Who will be the next big Hootie?
In 1985, long before late-night talk show host David Letterman – the oracle credited with giving the band their first big national break – ever heard “Hold My Hand”, four guys from USC ventured from their dorm room to jam out at a local bar called Pappy’s.
What started as a will-play-for-beer gig birthed South Carolina’s musical force, called Hootie and the Blowfish. The unexpected success that followed the concert at Pappy’s marked the turning point for the rookie band and the beginning of a period in rock and roll history affectionately known as the Hootie era.
On Thursday, July 9 at 9 p.m., fifteen years after the band’s multi-platinum debut album Cracked Rear View hit record store shelves, ETV airs the brand new Carolina Stories documentary entitled The Next Big Hootie.
