Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Today’s holiday meetup at Bowen’s Island Restaurant turned out to be a lot of fun with a few new tweeters joining us.
As usual oysters were plentiful. We finished off about 3 or 4 piles like this

Jared also put on a Blackberry clinic, because just about everybody seemed to have one.

The masses (all four of them) have chosen Wednesday for a holiday meetup. I’ll give them a call and make sure they’re not closed for some special event that evening and if they’re not let’s all meet there around 6ish (come earlier if you want to catch the sunset).
Oh, and as I recall, they don’t take credit cards there. Cash only.
Oysters!
Update: Confirmed that Bowen’s Island Restaurant is open tomorrow so see you then! Jared: give us a nice clear forecast for tomorrow evening so I can get some good sunset photos!
In case you’ve never been, here’s a Google Map to the restaurant. It’s pretty easy to get there. Just head down Folly Road towards Folly Beach and hang a right onto Bowen’s Island Road (you should see a large slightly faded billboard). When you think you’ve gone too far and missed it, keep on going a little bit further and you’ll be there.
Hey, Lowcountry bloggers/tweeters/friendfeeders, anybody interested in a holiday meetup next week at Bowen’s Island Restaurant?I was thinking maybe Wednesday or Thursday. Last year’s meetup there was a lot of fun with many oysters consumed.
Wednesday – 2
Thursday – 0
Today’s blogger gathering at Bowen’s Island Restaurant was fun and pretty well attended. Met a few new local bloggers which was nice. Always nice to see new faces at the blogger gatherings.
This was my first visit to the restaurant, but I’d definitely like to go back. It’s got a great location with a fantastic view of the sunset over the marsh. Figures I would forget to grab my camera.
There were 6 of us stuffing ourselves with all the oysters we could eat while the rest went for regular food. The oysters were plentiful and they were tasty. I think the oyster guy ended up dumping about 4 baskets of oysters onto the table for us. I was oystered out after the third one.
The conversation was pretty good too.
