10. That’s how many porches you’ll catch me (Kyle, here) grooving by in honor of Hampton-Pinckney Porchfest this Sun., Oct23. I can’t wait to listen to local artists like Taylor Corum, Trey Francis, West End String Band, and Rufus Lee and the Handful and snack on bites from Scout’s Donuts and the We Got The Beets + The Black Thai food trucks. Don’t forget to pre-order drink tickets so you can enjoy brews + wine from Pangaea Brewing. Happy Porchfest, GVL.
