A JOHN WATERS CHRISTMAS – DEC 19 & 20 at BALTIMORE SOUNDSTAGE In case you don’t see enough of Mr. Waters at Save Your Soul, here’s your opportunity to see him do a one man show.  I can’t say I’ve ever been a John Waters fan (Sorry, Baltimore) but for those that are, it’s a…

THE STOOP STORYTELLING SERIES – TONIGHT 12/16 – 7PM at CENTERSTAGE“Thanks, but No Thanks: Stories about the delights and disasters of gifts.” I’ve posted about Second Stoop Stories over at Windup Space before. Basically 7 people get 7 minutes to talk about a chosen theme. This one is fitting for the holiday season. Instead of people…

I wrote about the first event in this series a few months ago, so really no need for me to re-write that. But in the holiday spirit, be prepared to buy comics from the local artists for stocking stuffers? (I hate the phrase “stocking stuffers”…)

SOIREE FOR PLAY: A FUNDRAISER FOR PLAYWORKSDecember 12th – 7PM at Merritt Athletic Club – $60 Okay, so first off, fundraisers can be hit or miss, but this one is brilliant! Playworks Maryland is based in Remington the block North of Ottobar. They’re having their fundraiser at The Merritt Club (the one you see from…

TONIGHT at 7PM: ROBOCOP (1987) AT EMP COLLECTIVE Go because, well… it’s (sorta) snowing & you can probably walk there.

This is awesome! In case you don’t know who Post Typography is… it’s some of the dudes from Baltimore band Double Dagger‘s graphic design company. Sidenote: if you haven’t checked out their documentary about the Baltimore Music Scene, “If We Shout Loud Enough” you should ASAP. At this event, you’ll be able to buy screenprinted posters…

yellowdecorations: Guess what! It’s time (again) for DMV tumblarians to meet up and YOU’RE INVITED. On SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, Jenny and I will be hanging out in Hampden (Baltimore), consuming beer (maybe tequila), talking about books, and waxing lyrical about tumblr. Here are some deets to help you join us: WHO: As Kate likes to say,…

Bring A Date?This is a Baltimore tradition that I’ve never made it to but it’s a pretty sweet deal, $55 (per night) for unlimited beer and a “munchies” buffet, plus a free shuttle and three rooms for dancing. For those that have decided they’d like to bring rockabilly back, this is for you. Take your girl…

A MONUMENTAL OCCASION – BALTIMORE WASHINGTON MONUMENT LIGHTING Bring A Date?This is tricky. If you’re going to do so, you should arrive together because parking is awful and trying to find someone among the crowd is near impossible. If you don’t live within walking/biking distance, it’s going to be a difficult journey for you… In…

THE BALTIMORE BEAUTY PAGEANT I’ve never been but from my understanding, shit gets weird. Talents can range from burlesque to musical numbers to god know’s what else. It’s basically like, if you took the authenticity of Hampden Fest with the clothing of HonFest and the originality of Artscape and ask everyone to compete, you’ve got THE…
