		<description><![CDATA[NOV. 11, 2011 -- I lost a city council election Tuesday.

It’s OK. I’m glad I tried. More people need to take their shot. 

[logo_final_dot_letterhead] But being on the other side of the press as a candidate provided an interesting twist to my normal role as a columnist. Over the last 10 years, I’ve been on the giving end of politics -- giving politicians everything from ideas to a hard time about various policy proposals.  Now after taking a beating at the polls, I thought you might find it interesting to learn some of the lessons that politicians experience all of the time during elections.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AUG. 1, 2011 – Walking around an Uptown neighborhood in New Orleans has the feel of Hampton Park in Charleston: airy homes on lots with lush trees in a semi-tropical climate where summer steaminess is as accepted as white on rice.

But there are differences in these two famous Southern cities, both heavily influenced to this day by early European settlers. Here are some observations on how Charleston and New Orleans are similar and different:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MAY 12, 2011 - With 700 events on tap during the city's coming Piccolo Spoleto festival, there's something for everyone to enjoy.  "Piccolo is so important because it gives the opportunity to our local artists to be showcased against the backdrop of Spoleto Festival USA," said Ellen Dressler Moryl, head of the City of Charleston's Office of Cultural Affairs at a Tuesday meeting of the Rotary Club of Charleston. "These two festivals provide a stunning economic impact which benefits the entire state of South Carolina."]]></description>

"If I don't go out and shoot pictures every day, I don't feel like I've woken up," the Charleston native said recently. "It's just something I've got to do."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I like to paint. I like art. I like modern art a lot. I even like odd conceptual modern art.  But I am befuddled by the newly unveiled poster for the 2010 Spoleto Festival USA, slated to begin at the end of the month in Charleston. The world-renowned festival and world-renowned artist it commissioned have thrust something into the public domain that doesn't seem worth the paper on which it is printed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[YUCK:  Guess you could say that I didn&#8217;t like the new Spoleto poster.  (See new column at LikeTheDew.com).  Oh well, neither did many others.  About the best thing that can be said for it is that it has got people talking about the Festival &#8230; and maybe that&#8217;s the point.  But the poster is gross.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[APRIL 9, 2010 -- One hundred and forty nine years ago on Monday, Confederate troops bombarded Fort Sumter to open a national gash that oozed for more than a century. By the time the bloodiest of American wars ended in 1865, more than 662,000 Americans lay dead. While the total number of Union troops killed was greater (364,511), the South’s wound cut deeper because the estimated 258,000 Confederate dead came from a smaller regional population. One in four white Southern males between the age of 15 and 40 died in “The Lost Cause.”]]></description>

We knew there was no way we'd stay on the peninsula with all of the Wine + Food people packing downtown restaurants. So we decided to head to Mount Pleasant.]]></description>
