Widespread Panic & Umphrey’s McGee 10/4/13 & 10/5/13 Fall Tour 2013 Review – October 4 & 5, 2013 – Family Circle Stadium – Charleston, SC
Umphrey’s took the stage right at 6pm starting their 1hr 15min set. By 7:50pm, Widespread Panic took the stage to start their first set.
Review from JamBands.com:
Widespread Panic and Umphrey’s McGee wrapped up a two night run at the Family Circle Stadium in Charleston, SC last night. The weekend featured headlining shows from Panic preceded by opening sets from Umphrey’s. While the two bands didn’t collaborate on night one, they certainly made up for it on Saturday night as [...]
48 Elizabeth Street $10 admission fee Open daily until 5pm, last tour departs at 4:15pm.
Jeffrey lived less than a block away from the Aiken Rhett House last year. For a whole year. A whole year! Everytime we’d walk past it, we’d talk about going inside. This gigantic mansion on such a tiny lot (better known as an Urban Plantation) always captivated us — but I guess not so much that we toured it during the whole year he lived down the block.
Finally, a few Sundays ago, we bit the bullet and headed over. You enter in the side of the house, not the front. Once you open the door, you immediately see an exquisite marble double staircase. A [...]
Well, it’s August again, so that means back to the Family Circle Stadium in Charleston for Hootie & The Blowfish’s 11th Annual Homegrown Concert. Despite the threat of rain and 110% humidity the band took the stage around 8:45pm and put on a great show that never disappoints. They hit all of the classics, a few from Darius’ solo gig, tried-and-trusted REM & Zeppelin covers and a few new covers as well (Violent Femmes anyone?). [...]

2210 Middle St, Sullivans Island, SC $$ – Burgers, Tacos, Pub Food – $8-11 for entrees
If we’re driving to Sullivan’s for lunch or dinner, Jeffrey and I always vote for Taco Mamacita. But, wanting to try something new, we recently opted for Poe’s Tavern, just across the street. I’d never been, but I’d always heard such great things.
Named in honor of one of Sullivan’s Island’s famous residents, Edgar Allen Poe, Poe’s is a beachy restaurant just steps from the sand – a great place to meet up with friends after work or to fuel up after a long beach day.
54 Hours in New York
We took a short, weekend-getaway-style trip to New York.
When I say short, I genuinely mean it. Total time gone was 54 hours: 27 hours spent in the city and 27 hours spent on a train going to/from.
TRIP PLANNING:
I had been checking the cheapest/best way to get from Charleston, SC to New York off and on for the past week. Flights were around $450-500 Round Trip with one stop (in Atlanta or Charlotte), or $600+ for the non-stop into Newark or LaGuardia! A lot more than I wanted to spend. Even the trusty Spirit Air flight from Myrtle Beach into LaGuardia was close to $400 round-trip; couple that with the fact that the 6:30pm flight on [...]
153 East Bay St. Seafood Dinner, Late Night (bar) $$$
Pearlz, on East Bay St., has never really been in the pool when choosing restaurants before – I don’t know if it’s because it’s a “chain” (it’s also in Columbia, SC) or that it seems so touristy, but either way, I’ve always been intrigued, just never enough to act on it.
That all changed the other night – Jeffrey and I were feeling oysters, and we decided to give Pearlz a try. We walked in to a crowded restaurant and grabbed two seats at the bar. It turned out to be the best place to sit – you can see the guys preparing the oysters right [...]
12 Cumberland St, Charleston, SC American, Beer Garden $$ – $8 to $20 for an entree
We had the opportunity to check out the much-anticipated Craftsmen Kitchen & Tap House on their opening weekend.
The much-talked-about restaurant has completely transformed what used to be that bar we all loved but never remembered, Johnson’s, into a awesome little beer garden restaurant. The actual “beer garden” portion is quite small, but they’ve got the authentic-looking Bavarian tables, so I’m sold on liking everything about it.
If you claim to be a beer garden, then you can damn well count on me sampling [...]
