Recap: The Manual Meetup Charleston, South Carolina

By

Last Thursday we hosted our third Manual Meetup, this time in historic Charleston, South Carolina. We teamed up with our boys over at WineAwesomeness at their new space in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, which has become the epicenter of cool new restaurants, shops and bars on the tiny peninsula. Butcher & Bee, a favorite uptown spot known for its’ craft sandwiches and use of local ingredients, catered the event and they didn’t disappoint with their heirloom tomato crostini, pimento cheese dips and fresh spring rolls. We also had the brand new brewery, Wooden Skiff, located on Hilton Head Island bring two kegs of their exceptional craft beer, which apparently was equally refreshing to the dogs that attended as well. Only in the South… Guests were also treated to gift bags from Harry’s, which has a cult following for its’ affordable razors, shave cream and blades. Local menswear store Indigo & Cotton also contributed gift cards for the lucky gents attending. Brands who stopped by included:

  • Garden & Gun Magazine
  • StylePublic.com
  • Fuzzco
  • J. Stark
  • City of Charleston’s Cultural Affairs
  • Farm Bar
  • Jay Fletcher Graphic Design
  • Byers Design

Sophie Wilde in Talk to Me.

Will there be a ‘Joker 3?’
'Joker: Folie a Deux' is not raking in nearly as much money as the first film did.

Joker: Folie á Deux is failing to rake in the kind of massive box office performance that its predecessor did, and it's also going over pretty poorly with both critics and fans. Following that icy reception, some are wondering whether there will be a third Joker movie. While it's impossible to rule anything out indefinitely, the answer right now seems to be a pretty definitive no.

Director Todd Phillips, who made both the first Joker and this sequel, told The Hollywood Reporter that a third one doesn't really seem like it's in the cards.
