You many know Patti, but do you know Pat? In a town where his drag persona takes center stage, Pat Patterson talks about life growing up in a small, conservative enclave and the path paved by politicians that bred in him a desire to serve. In a unique and sometimes unconventional manner, using his stage name as well as his given moniker by birth, he goes above and beyond to give back to and enrich the communities that embrace them both. The resident drag queen of Dudley's on Ann steps aside for this one-on-one interview with the man behind by the makeup.

Enter the DIY Fest.

You could call this a Valentine, but it's March now. This is about the time I've spent working for 34 West Theater Company. They are very good friends of mine and have taken me on wonderful adventures, so I decided to write them a love letter.

Already in its sixth year, Brewvival has quickly evolved into one of the premier craft beer events in the Lowcountry, if not the entire state. Organized by COAST Brewing Co.'s David Merritt and Jaime Tenny and entrepreneurs Scott Shor and Rich Carley (of the Charleston Beer Exchange, Edmund's Oast), the event on Feb. 28 boasted nearly 200 beers from 50 microbreweries on this year's official beer list.
