If you want a second opinion about what shows are going to be good during Spoleto, Piccolo Spoleto and Piccolo Fringe, then rejoice knowing that the Charleston City Paper's annual guide is out.

Read more stories on this subject in our Spoleto topic page.I haven't had much of a chance to leaf through the content yet, but before I give you the link I'll pass along two bits of wisdom:

• If you're looking for some casual reading and you live in town, skip the online and get the free physical paper edition.
• When using the online edition note the "reviews" and "schedule" buttons on the bottom right of each category -- they'll pull up respective listing of each genre. 

And, at long last, the link to guide.

Charleston Magazine also has a smaller guide out. Also The Post and Courier's guide has been out for a few days, but that one isn't very usable online.
