FORT MCHENRY TUNNEL 5K RUN/WALK Bring A Date?Mind you, the idea of running through a tunnel with no cars is very post apocalyptic and awesome, but you have to be pretty comfortable with yourself and/or your date to get all sweaty with them. Put on your best “I have to get sweaty, but still not…

HAMPDENFEST 2013 This is the less annoying (and usually less humid) version of Hon Fest with Hampden Idol, Toilet Bowl Races, a Mac n Cheese bake off, a waiter race and lots of music. Bring A Date?Yeah! Getting to see someone’s choice in kitschy gift, odd carnival like foods, and local musicians speaks volumes… Not…

THE SHINDIGI’ll make this one quick because I’ve already discussed the joys & pains of the all day festival date for Virgin Fest. This festival is far less Paste Magazine hipster-y and far more rockabilly-y, see: Swing Dancing. Not to mention, these tickets aren’t free. Plan accordingly. P.S. – Public transit down is kind of…

Protest & March Against Syria As usual, I’m not one to dictate anyone’s political preference in the same way I will never tell anyone whom to or how frequently to have sex or any other issue that is not my fucking business but if you feel strongly about Syria, this is an awesome event for…

THE BURLESQUE VANGUARD TOUR – SEPT 1st Bring A Date? Get to Ottobar early enough to get some drinks and grab a seat on the stairs or in the balcony to watch the strip tease (last burlesque show I saw at Ottobar had no seats on the floor). Burlesque shows are an awesome way to…

barcs-pet-valu-mt-vernon: Will you hate us if we call it a Kittenpalooza? August 29th (a Thursday) from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM is a kitten adoption frenzy at the Mt Vernon Pet Valu store. Kittens! Kittens!  And more kittens! Kittens not your thing? Come anyhow and find out more about the other adoptable cats (and dogs)…

“How To Eat Meat” Opening Reception So I’ve never been to a book opening, but how awesome & fancy does that sound?! Even cooler than the chicness of a book reception is the concept of this one, specifically. This is a photo documentary about the current food system through the eyes of Clementine, a Northern…

MARYLAND STATE FAIR(Aug 23 – Sept 2; Weekdays 12-10, Weekends & Labor Day 10-10) I already can see your eye rolling but here are three reasons to give it a shot: Students in Baltimore County & CIty are back in school next week so if you happen to have a day off, the rides are…

MISS GLAMOUR GIRL 2014 AT CLUB HIPPO Bring A Date?This looks like it’ll be a blast! A drag fashion show that is a qualifier for Miss Gay Maryland America. I’ve never seen a show but from what I’ve seen at Pride, these women can work it! Also, my first week living in the city, I…
