An Artsy Stroll

When people told us the town of Berlin loves art, we nodded "yes" and thought, "Well, who doesn't?" Clearly we were unprepared for the First Friday Art Walk sweeping through town. Sectioning off streets, visiting artists, wine tastings, refreshments, and live music all worked to prove that yes, Berlin does love their art.

We stepped out of the Atlantic Hotel to find a band of young guitarists playing on the doorstep. A few blocks down Main Street and we were hit with the classic rock sound of "Blue Light Special," a band comprised solely of professors from Salisbury University. Electric guitar and bass resounded among the brick walls of shops. Folks of all ages - old couples, youth, families - all dressed in laid-back summer-wear, moseyed from merchant to merchant, trying the wine, catching conversation, getting a glimpse into the various galleries, or just hung about taking in the music and atmosphere.

Road Trip: Day II

Back on the road, after packing up camp, Melanie and I were in search of two valuable commodities... wi-fi and a place to rest our heads for the night.

The first of those was needed (for the obvious reason) to update you kind readers on our travels, so we moved on over to the near by town of Rehoboth. Wi-Fi was found in a cup of coffee from the resident Starbucks, though it wasn't Starbucks internet. (Hint: If you tuck yourself back close to the mall, you can use the mall's internet.

Playing Joan on Milton Theater's Red Carpet

"Lights, camera... action!" ...three words many of us wish to one day say or hear while creating that Emmy-winning big picture. Most of us (including myself) resign to simply watching the beautiful films, but for those who aspire to be in the films, you gotta start somewhere. One of those places is the Best In Summer Shorts Film Festival.

The Best In Summer Shorts Film Festival, or BISS, held every year for the past three years at the Milton Theater gives young talent from all over the country a chance to showcase their work and see what other artists are doing.

Host Our Coast had the chance this year to visit the theater during the BISS and run the red carpet in a way that would have made Joan Rivers proud.

A Crafty Surprise

Today we meandered the grounds of the Rehoboth Art League and bumped into two artists who invited us into their studio as they crafted bowls out of blocks of clay. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that these bowls are for an upcoming soup kitchen benefit in September.
