Puttin' on the Fritz and bird bands
Has anyone ever been to Jack's and had their Fritz?? It's only the best cocktail I've had in forever, and it beats the hell out of their overly talked about chocolate mac'n'cheese. It has elderberry juice and champagne and other stuff (maybe a splash of heaven?) that makes it really refreshing, but not in a pansy sort of way. ...
Fourth wall-e
The Fourth Wall was a tremendous success given the number of people there, but it left me feeling old...and hungover.
Saturday I ended up missing my friend's wedding but made it to "Wall-e" (am lame and cried) and Kim's birthday dinner (was a zombie all night). I heard the Impossible Hair and Squaaks show at the Creative Allia...
Weekends, you're doing it wrong
Sushi-San Thai Jai Dee sells whole fish, which is great if you're Ashley, it's your birthday and you used to live in Thailand, where you ate many gross things. For the rest of the general population, avoid it at all costs. It's not just because Mr. Fish looks back at you but because it tastes like dirty water, not fried rockfish.

Homeless wharts, staying cool and the Fourth Wall
Will I be able to give Whartscape a home at North Avenue Market during Artscape? This is the question. I'll be out of town, but neighbor and friend Russell from the Windup Space says he's going to run it...more power to you, my brother. Me, I'll be in hotter NOLA with his wife, hehe.
This weekend looks like a hot one...anyone have a favorite...
My music is where I want you to touch
Saturday’s Squidfire Art Mart by the Monument seemed like a success despite that it was a little cold and rainy. There were definitely fewer vendors than I thought there’d be, but that may be because they got chased away by the weather. There were still plenty of stands selling unique prints on tiny Ts (although they may not be ...
One-girl bar crawl
Brasserie Tatin wasn't bad, but I can eat French fries anywhere, right?
A weekend tour of the bars left me thinking lots of people are out of town on vacation or something. Wherever they are, they aren't at Pocket to Penis, the Sidebar (Thee Arrows still rule, though), Brewer's Art, The Club Charles, Joe's or the Windup Space. Whatever,...
Memorial Day, a day of mourning and drinking and partying, no?
It's Memorial Day weekend, and I hope you're enjoying it. I'm in fabulous downtown Dewey, DE...wow, it ain't Monte Carlo, but it'll do pig, it'll do. It never fails to amaze me how jubilant everyone is on a holiday weekend dedicated to the dead. If you give someone one day off of work or school, you could probably remove one of his limbs and he...
Around the city in four days
Thursday's Best of Baltimore party left me feeling pretty stupid but was a great time as usual, free food and drinks and pretty much everyone you've ever met in town.
B Bistro in Bolton Hill on Friday was like a Parisian fantasy, with the quaint neighborhood location as the perfect setting for late summer dinner. Plus the food pre...
Hitting the Wall this weekend
My adventure in bartending turned out to be a crash course. It was sooo busy, which is great for business at the Windup Space, but bad if you were there Friday and wanted a Tom Collins because I don't know what's in that, ok? FYI, people have already been banned for drug use after opening night...I heart Baltimore^_^ But the good news is t...
