Courtesy Ed Piotrowski: An advance forecast for Beer Fest

Ed Piotrowski, weather dude for WPDE, says we could have a few showers Friday with highs in the low 70s, but then it will be mostly sunny and near 60 on Saturday. 


Of course, we're still three days out, but that's fairly good news for the 2nd annual Myrtle Beach Beer Fest. 


Stay tuned for updates!


And check this out -- a new Jimi Hendrix album?!?!?

Myrtle Beach Moment, No. 9 and No. 10

This fellow was huddled up against the rain today at Barefoot Landing, a shopping-dining-entertainment complex in North Myrtle Beach.

The Myrtle Beach area has been getting extended spells of steady, moderate-to-heavy rain today, but that hasn't stopped the bikers who have come to town for the annual fall rally.

I hear a siren in the distance, and it's a reasonable guess that there has been another traffic accident.

Venders and bikers currently dominate chunks of the parking lots at Broadway at the Beach, Colonial Mall, and Barefoot Landing.

Here's a pic from the parking lot in front of the Hard Rock Cafe at Broadway at the Beach. Note the "Bike Parking Only" sign. We see a lot of that sign during the spring and fall rallies.
