The crowd just kept building as the night went on

So we have a little oktoberfest here at the beach on the Boulevard.  G-Love and Special Sauce plus Galactic head-lining this shin-dig!!!  My day got started with Lera Lynn, shot for a while then ran home to send off some pics.  Got back in time to catch Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band.  Cool funk that made ya move!!! G-Love came next, and all I can say is WOW!!!!  All the festivities were great and benefited the Special Olympics.  Whole Lotta brats, maybe a little kraut, and plenty o' bru-ha.  I'll be posting a couple more times with pics from G-Love and Special Sauce, as well as Galactic.

GAP's Taste of five points fundraiser

Over the past few years I've had the opportunity to take part in GAP's different art shows/ fundraiser's.  They have all been succesful in showing that Myrtle Beach is more than just the "redneck riviera" and does have an artscene. Global Awareness Project had their spring fling called a Taste of Five Points downtown l.  It was a great night in a spot called Drink!  Another awesome turnout and support for GAP's ongoing projects to create awareness and promote different non-profits from the area.
