I know of two others from their posts: Mjollner and USCDiver. Are there any other Dopers from the home of the Confederate flag and the Senator who carried it? From the home of Maurice “Barbeque sauce _is_ supposed to be yellow, and by the way, slavery is OK according to the Bible” Bessinger? What say we all get together for a beverage sometime? I’ve heard of a new cyber-pub down around Rosewood in Cola. ---

I’m here in South Carolina…Grand Strand. Blech. blessedwolf used to be, but I think he moved to Tennessee. I’d be up for a beer or two, depending on when and where. ---

Figures that both of the other SC dopers are rallying now. ---

Charleston would be fantastic!! I’m planning on being there the weekend of 11/10 (work-related thing the previous Thursday night), but it’s close enough that I can pretty much make it there anytime (weekends are better!). Anyone free on the 10th or 11th? Any other time? ---

I actually saw my state in a thread subject!!! I am in the upstate (Greenville Spartanburg area) but hey Charleston is only a 3 hour drive and it would be a great time to wean the baby while mom babysat and I NEED a weekend!!! Granted I am way more of a lurker but I would LOVE to say I met Satan! ---

Nothing against the NC Dopers–I just noticed that y’all had a group on the pic pages and I hadn’t seen anything about SC. Personally, I’ll be in Gainseville on 11/11 watching the Cocks take the SEC, provided Petty can keep from getting hurt again. ---

Got my doctorate at USC-Columbia; met my wife there - she got her BS and MS degrees there. We moved out of state 7 years ago, but seeing South Carolina in a thread, I had to stick my nose in. stofsky, my favorite buffalo wings place used to be in a little hole in the wall on Rosewood. (Then they moved to Five Points, got yuppified, and toned down the spices. C’est la vie.) And Charleston is a wonderful city, with lots of terrific restaurants. I could probably talk my wife into a trip down there sometime, though I don’t think it’ll be before the end of the year… ---

stofsky - if that weekend’s not good for you, I’m flexible. Charleston’s only 90 miles from me, so it’s easy to get to. If anyone else wants to suggest a date, I’m game. ---

My schedule pretty well rules out any road trips until early December, unfortunately, but then again I’m just the instigator not the center of the party so plan amongst yourselves. Subject: where and when. However if anyone in Columbia would like to get together for a drink or something, I’m good there. I can sneak away from grading papers and family stuff for a few hours. Did I mention that I taught English 101 to Phil Petty and Kevin House and 102 to Mikal Goodman? Get me drunk and I’ll tell you how smart they are 🙂 RT, what was your discipline? ---

Hi, guys. I never realized SC was so well-represented on the boards. I’m at USC getting my master’s degree, and right now I’m in Thesis Hell, but I’d love to get together with any and all once I get my draft turned in! ---

OK, Cola Kiddies. This is short notice, but it’s been a long day. There’s a new cyber-pub, The Keg O’Nails at 3008 Rosewood across from the (in)famous Dairy Bar. Anyone up for a beer or two, posting some Homeresque drunken ramblings on the SDMB, and perhaps interesting conversation? I’ll keep checking until about 6:30 or 7:00. After that email at [stofsky@aol.com](mailto:stofsky@aol.com) if you wanna. ---

If you guys can wait until December, I can make it down there too. I have family in Myrtle Beach, and I know I’ll be visiting around there at some point that month. ---
