I've played golf my entire life and played two years in college. I've recently done something I said I'd never do and that is start playing Cobra clubs. I've the driver in play and have the Forged CB's coming in the mail.

I was going to go to Bora Bora, but everybody told me that the flight would make it almost not worth it. I'm going to Turks and Caicos instead, and it looks pretty nice.

One of my friends used to work in a gallery while she was at C of C. I don't remember what it was called, but it was near The Market.

Village Tavern and the Map Room have gotten some legit bands as of lately (Matt and Kim, Mono, Sunset Rubdown, Great Lake Swimmers)

Also, on the shopping front, there's apparently a store on King that sells women's Rag&Bone

I'm from Charlotte, went to school in Columbia, live in Greenville and am probably moving to Charleston. Like everyone has said Charlotte has a few things and Charleston almost does. Greenville and Columbia have nothing. Greenville is ok though, I much prefer Charlotte and Charleston to it, but it's a short drive to Athens and Asheville for good music and Charlotte, Charleston and Atlanta are all within about 2.5 hours. There isn't much style in Greenville, at least on dudes. At the ad agency where I work you aren't going to get much more cutting edge than one of our art director's wearing Zathan's, and that's out of almost 200 people. I don't even bother bringing up clothes to people I work with even though some 35 year old fat lady I work with tried to tell me how stylish she was last week.

Also, for about 2 weeks, Neiman Marcus in Charlotte was carrying Nudie, but I think they sold litterally 0 pairs and sent them all back.

What about Beach House?

I don't have any pictures, but i really like the way both my Wallabees and Desert Boots look with skinnier jeans

I'm in school for advertising right now. In terms of agencies most of the jobs that involve advertising are in media, creative and account management. Obviously creative comes up with the ads and executes them. If you want a creative job in one of the major agencies you pretty much have to go to a portfolio school either instead of or after regular college. This is basically two years of hell as far as I have gathered. Media plans and buys where the ads are actually going to be. Media is a lot of times just reading numbers and figuring out where the ads are going to be most efficient, but it also takes creativity. The account side is dealing with the clients, researching the industry they are in etc... It's where most of the money is, but it's also probably the least fun.

Like Neuman said, there is also advertising sales which are for newspapers, magazines, radio stations and television stations. I'm not really familiar with how it all works.

Working for an agency is a lot of hours. If you are on the creative side the hours are spent messing around a lot bouncing ideas around. Some of the agencies in NYC have entire floors where creatives basically just fuck around on an adult playground of sorts.

From what I have gathered, advertising can lead just about anywhere. Running agencies or departments. Even going to work for a client in larger roles.

Personally, I went to school wanting to be a creative, changed to wanting to do media, to now not even knowing if I want to work in an agency at all.

Some of what I said might be off base, so if it is, somebody correct me.
