SCENE | CofC Library Rave
December 16, 2008 – 1:50 pm
The Adderall zombies and caffeine-cranked undergrads came out of their finals-induced comas on Thursday night at the College of Charleston’s Addlestone Library to pull off a flash rave. Exhausted students harnessed their last ounces of natural energy as they waited outside of the library at 10:30 p.m., gaining momentum in an impromptu pep rally and [...]
SCENE | Cabooty Holiday Party
December 16, 2008 – 11:46 am
With five fully staffed open bars, 15 feet of delicious buffet tables, and over three hours of live music performed by local favorite, the East Coast Party Band, Cabooty’s 19th Annual Holiday Party has come a long way from its humble origins in Allan Cabading’s downtown apartment. The Citadel’s Alumni Hall served as a perfect [...]

COMEDY | Not Aziz-y as it looks
Aziz Ansari is one of those actor/comedians you know from somewhere. Whether it was at Bonnaroo, on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, on MTV’s Human Giant, or at Charleston’s own little Comedy Festival, you’ve probably seen him perform. And laughed at him. In a non-mean way. Personally, I was excited [...]

VIDEO | Skydiving Santa and Hopped-Up Kids
December 9, 2008 – 12:52 pm
Scene writer Angela Hanyak headed out to Patriots Point on Saturday to witness Santa’s arrival before the Parade of Boats. But this was no ordinary homecoming. The jolly old elf arrived in style, jumping out of a plane right onto the USS Yorktown. No wonder the kids were so wound up. Video created by Web [...]
SCENE: Buy Local Bash
December 8, 2008 – 5:09 pm
Community-minded Charlestonians convened at Lowndes Grove Plantation Sunday night to celebrate a successful Buy Local Week. The laid-back event highlighted all things wonderful and locally-produced, including music from the V-Tones (complete with a tap-dancing performance) and Cary Ann Hearst and friends (in which the twangy songstress played the drums “for the first time in the [...]
SCENE: Santa’s Arrival on the Yorktown
December 8, 2008 – 4:49 pm
Kids hopped up on 1,500 calories worth of sugar say the darnedest things. Such was the case on the flight deck aboard the USS Yorktown on Saturday afternoon. As families waited for the arrival of ol’ Saint Nick, the kids were let loose on a spread of holiday cookies and hot chocolate topped with marshmallows. [...]
SCENE: Santa Pub Crawl
December 8, 2008 – 4:48 pm
Saturday’s Santa Pub Crawl, benefiting the Carolina Children’s Charity, was Charleston’s most spectacular costume event since Halloween. From tacky sweaters to Christmas trees that lit up, every imaginable element of the season was represented. Many of Santa’s helpers were clad in cleavage-revealing get-ups, and a sloshed Santa mused, “It’s about to turn into Girls Gone [...]
