The PopCulteer
September 17, 2010
Last night was the third Thursday of the month, and that means it’s time for the monthly PopCult ArtWalk Photo Essay.
It was a good time, with cool exhibits opening all over town, and Amy Williams Q & A (A Visual and Performance Art Exhibit) taking place at The Purple Moon. After ArtWalk, Melanie and I had a great dinner at The Bluegrass Kitchen, then zipped around the corner where we shot episode 111 of Radio Free Charleston, which you can see early next week.
With such a busy day, you might think that this edition of The PopCulteer might not feature much besides ArtWalk photos.
You’d be right. Check out the people and art from last night, after the jump.

50% Lucy Van Pelt, 50% Oracle of Delphi
Steven Allen Adams asks Amy a question. Your PopCulteer tries mightily to resist the urge to make a Phil Kabler joke in the caption
Some of Amy's art that complemented the event
Another cool Q & A piece by Amy
This is not a photo of Amy cheating by resorting to Wikipedia to get an answer
That’s about it for this week’s PopCulteer. I’m in a bit of a sleep-deprived haze, but before we go…
Don’t forget to watch RFC 110…
Check out the No Pants Players benefit show for ARC, Saturday night at the La Belle Theater in South Charleston at 8 PM…
Tofujitsu (as seen above) will be at Taylor Books Friday night, 7:30 to 9:30 PM, with no cover…
Look for RFC 111, recorded September 16 at the Empty Glass, with music from Andy Park, Stephen Beckner and Stone Soup Monday or Tuesday, and the usual PopCult features will drop on Sunday and Monday. I gotta get some sleep.
This article would have been better if there were some pictures to go with it
aww that’s the barber shop i work at! lol.
Wonderful photos as usual. The art featured here is amazing. And that barber shop, wow! Love it!
Thanks for all your support, Rudy!
Another great Pop Culteer! The wall of Chad Miller work, though, includes a big piece by my fave: Chet Lowther. (The painting in the middle is his.)
I wish I would’ve gotten out and about earlier last night. It looks like I missed a LOT of great stuff!
Good stuff. Thanks for doing what you do.
Always great seeing you Rudy! Wonderful overview of last night’s ArtWalk!
Thanks for the correction, Karan. I’d been up over 20 hours when I wrote the caption. I’ll fix it.
It was a great Artwalk! Great art all around! Huzzah!
