Hope to see you guys soon and make some new friends

 

Well, Folly might be packed this time of year. Too packed for photo shoots unless we get there early as hell! If not, Sullivan's Island or Isle of Palms might work. Not sure if we can actually drive up to, or close to any of the dunes for beachfront pics. But as far as hanging out, Folly has a lot to offer! A little bit of a bitch as far as parking goes though.

 

I'll be down there the entire weekend. My girlfriend lives downtown, just post a schedule as the days draw closer and we will come out!

Also, forgot about Tabbuli! www.tabbuli.com. Great Mediterranean and American foods. I'll be there both Friday and Saturday night.

 

Cool, will do! And i've never been there, i'll have to check it out. We hope to make another trip in the fall as well. If anything, I know I will. We will more than likely be going out friday night after we get settled in. I would like to take them to Big Johns, Southend Brewery, and Henry's for sure. Have to see if there's any live music or anything going on that weekend as well.

I think DougEFresh is the one we were meeting in NC correct?

 

I'll be available Friday night, MAYBE Saturday evening, and again maybe Sunday afternoon/evening.

This is barring any last minute watchbill changes, which are actually pretty damn likely given that it's Chief season. I got in good with the watchbill coordinator, so we'll see Should make one of 'em anyway!

 

I'd love to join you, as Charleston's like a 2nd home, but will be in the mountains for a girl's weekend.

It's been a few years, but we had a great meet in Charleston: (Radios recommended as you're likely to get separated occaisionally)

• Got together for a lunch meet and greet at Wild Wing Cafe in Mt. Pleasant (Good parking). Red's Ice House or RB's on Shem Creek are other good alternatives in that area, as they also have good food and parking, but great scenery.
• Took a "scenic" drive across the Ben Sawyer bridge out to the beaches at Sullivan's Island/Isle of Palms and drove past all the big houses.
• Made a "spirited" run across the big Cooper River Bridge into downtown. Short but awesome! (Provided maps, as there is heavy traffic and many stoplights between IOP and the big bridge down Hwy 17. We had everyone meet up in the Holiday Inn Express at the base of the bridge to "re-group" before running the bridge.)
• Did sort of a "parade" down King Street to the Battery; stopped along the Battery to get some great pictures
• Parked in the public parking deck on Cumberland St. (top deck had good space; this is the deck right near Fleet Landing)
• Dispersed from there, but most went to the rooftop bar at Vendue Inn for brews and views
• About 14 of us hung around long enough to want dinner, so we just stayed downtown and had fun. (If you do this, be SURE to make a reservation somewhere. You can cancel it if not needed, but Saturday night was a killer trying to find food with that many)

These are just suggestions, of course, but it was a good afternoon. Have fun!

 

Thanks for the suggestions! Forgot about the parking garage on Cumberland! We can come in on Meeting, then hit Market, East Bay St., then BOOM, parking. convenient walk to most of the bars/restaurants. How is it for REALLY low cars though? Friendly? What about the parking lot by Sticky fingers in downtown Charleston? is that park yourself or valet? I'm not big on trusting valet to NOT screw up.

Also, would anyone like to give us their number as a point of contact while down there or contact me? 410-490-4359. Relying on the forum once down there is not gonna work
