"A Furry Affair"

On Saturday from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., the Charleston Animal Society will hold its fourth annual "A Furry Affair" art auction and gala at Memminger Auditorium, 56 Beaufain St., Charleston.

Each year, "A Furry Affair" raises money for the Charleston Animal Society by auctioning off artwork by local artists, trip packages, gift certificates, event tickets and more. Also, national and local celebrities, such as the "Army Wives" cast, television anchors Debi Chard and Brad Franko, various radio personalities, the Post and Couriers Bryce Donovan and others will decorate reproductions of fire hydrants, which will be auctioned off as well.

Tickets are $75 per person, and proceeds will go toward a new adoption center for abused and abandoned animals. To purchase tickets, visit www.charlestonanimalsociety.org or call 329-1546.

Mention the term "raw," and in this Kentucky-fried world, you might as well be speaking Klingon. But remember, some of our most daunting cuisine is the most elemental.

HERE, LISTEN TO THIS

Thursday, Aug. 28, 12 00 a.m.

South Carolina is a small state, after all, so this week, Preview touches base with Columbia native Robert Ford. In the midst of promoting his album on cyberspace, Ford's hip-hop alter ego, N'Telligence, lent us his ears. This, in exchange for a little promotion. He gave us his take on a few tracks.

Local 'Rhino' will soon be drawing larger crowds

Thursday, Aug. 28, 12 00 a.m.

Sometimes, what starts out as a disappointment turns out to be a blessing in disguise. That was the case in January when, after not being able to attend the Jerry Lee Lewis concert at the Charleston Music Hall, I happened to catch a set by yet another truly talented local band.

The birds and the ... chiggers?

Thursday, Aug. 28, 12 00 a.m.

This column was supposed to be about birds. About how the nice folks at Francis Beidler National Forest in Harleyville are catching them, studying them, marking them and then releasing them back into the wild in the hopes of learning how to better protect them in the future.

Hey Bow, let's shoot some archery

Thursday, Aug. 21, 12 00 a.m.

There are few sports that can seamlessly combine the act of playing the harp with killing a baby deer, but archery pulls it off. And with Olympic fever in full swing, what better time to try out the time-tested sport that makes everyone say, "Wait, they give out medals for that?"

Let the games begin ...And then end quickly.

Thursday, Aug. 14, 12 00 a.m.

Every four years the world's top athletes come together in the hopes of achieving one magical goal: pre-empting our primetime television. Of course I am only joking. The Olympics are great. In fact, I absolutely love watching sports that, otherwise, I would never get to see. You know, things like water polo. Sure, I don't fully understand how the horses hold their breath for so long, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the subtle nuances of the game.

Housesitting on a gold mine

Thursday, Aug. 7, 12 00 a.m.

I am one housesitting job away from selling my own place. I'm not kidding. I've got gigs lined up so far in advance, I might not sleep in my own bed until next October. (My wife argues that, "this might have happened anyway.") Now for those of you out there going, "But Bryce, housesitting is a pain. I'd rather just stay at my own place," shame on you.

He's got the white stuff

Thursday, July 31, 12 00 a.m.

If you've ever looked at the black-and-white photo that accompanies my column every week and thought to yourself, "I wonder what that guy looks like in real life," well, here's your answer: WAY whiter. How is that possible, you ask? Well, much like salmon swimming upstream or people listening to Celine Dion, it's one of life's little unexplained mysteries.
