This week we aim the PopCult blunderbuss at the idea board and shovel the recognizable fragments into one big column. Enjoy!

Late Night Pizza

Denizens of downtown Charleston’s late night scene, rejoice! We now have a food establishment open until 4:00 AM. Slyce, located at 710 Lee Street East, is a delicious alternative to driving all the way to the IHOP in Kanawha City or Dwight’s in St. Albans to sober up your friends after a ight of excessive imbibing.

The decor is elegant for a simple pizzaria and the food is delicious. Their pizza has a great tasting crust and a terrific sauce, which are unlike any others in town. They offer a few specialty pizzas, but they’ll also add quality toppings that cater to your desires. They also offer a variety of calzones, cheesecakes, and other yummy Italian items.

RFC 130: “The Drowsy Chaperone,” C2J2 And More DEVO Hats!

Radio Free Charleston, episode 130, “The Who Shirt,” is online now. That’s it right up there…see?

This edition of the show features a song from The Charleston Light Opera Guild, a jazz tune from C2J2, animation from Frank Panucci, and a couple of surprises.

At the yard sale

Host segments were shot at The East End Yard Sale last Saturday. See, that way we could shoot the host segments and shop at the same time. We didn’t buy much, but we did facilitate the transfer of a vintage MAC SE computer from Mark Scarpelli to Mark Wolfe, and that alone was worth the trip. Continue reading

Blue Million, Ryan Hardiman, HARRAH, “Airwaves,” Animation And More On RFC 129

Radio Free Charleston episode 129, “Adventure Wars Shirt” is in the books, and in this blog, right up there. See?And we’re still in Hi-Def!

This week we feature music by Blue Million, HARRAH and Ryan Hardiman. We also have a preview of the new CYAC show, “Airwaves.” There’s animation by Frank Panucci, too, but the less said about that, the better. This episode of the show includes some harsher language than usual, but it’s all tasteful and in context and we’re on the web so there’s really no way to get in trouble anyway.

Monday Morning Art: Winter Leftovers

Since we’re up late watching the news instead of making art, this week you’re getting leftovers.  To make up for just slogging into the pile of previously-rejected candidates for Monday Morning Art, we’re bringing you two of them.

Above you see a digital painting of snow-covered trees.  Below you see a digitally-assaulted photograph taken on my cell phone in Kanawha City, in the parking lot of Pizza Hut. The building in the background is Lowe’s.

Neither are particularly inspired, but you can still click on them to see bigger versions. Remember to check PopCult later tonight for episode 129 of Radio Free Charleston, with music by Harrah, Blue Million and Ryan Hardiman, and a promo clip for “Airwaves,” the play presented by CYAC that opens Thursday.

Sunday Evening Video: Airwaves

Talented young filmmaker Austin Susman brings us a video preview of the new CYAC original drama, Dan Kehde’s “Airwaves,” which opens Thursday night at The WVSU Capitol Center Theater.  Tickets are ten bucks, six for students, and you’ll be treated to a tense night of political intrigue and rabble-rousing set in the world of talk radio.  Check out the clip above.  The show runs May 5 through 6, and may 12 through 14.
