BLACK CAT TOURS: Explore the other side of the Holy City

2008 Black Cat Spring Social

SPECIAL GUEST:
Gov. Elliott Spitzer of
New York and friend.

Thanks to our gracious host, nicer-than-he-has-to-be Paul Meeks, for
opening his house and courtyard to Black Cat Tours and friends.

L-R. Paul Meeks, our host. Gary and Lisa Dow,
owners of The Tavern @ 120 East Bay Street,
where liquor has been sold out of the same
building for over 300 years.

Most of the time was
spent consuming adult
beverages in a classic
Charleston courtyard.
The people in the photo
to the left include 3
authors, 5 tour guides,
1 former SLED forensic
agent and 1 Methodist
minister.

Mark R. Jones, author of Wicked Charleston
arrived in a classic 1920s Zoot Suit.

Rebel Sinclair and Mark R. Jones of Black Cat
Tours worked as the official host and hostess.

C.J.Ohlandt, a true Renaissance Man,
demonstrated Medieval whipping skills with
his homemade cat-o-nine-tails. His mesmerized
students include:
Rebel, Kelsey and Emily. Kelsey seemed
particularly interested.

After several adult beverages, Lisa Dow reverts
back to the 1960s flower girl era.

Trey and Traci Smith, owners of the Charleston
Legend and Lore Ghost Theater, appear to
mesmerized by whatever Dylan is saying - which
is a new thing for Dylan.

Deanne Bright, innkeeper at The
Governor's House Inn, tour guide
(and former radio newscaster) won the
grand prize: a complete autographed
collection of Mark and Rebel's books.
