Club Chuck and SxSW with 100,000 close friends
It's Monday, which could mean you're screwed and will have to go to the gym after a long boring day at work. So why not decide to go drink instead? Macabre Mondays at the Club Charles, or as many call it the Chuck, is something different no doubt. With tarot-card reading and fortune-telling, it's bound to be more interesting than whatever'...
Kitty Kats, Oranges & derby philly style
This weekend began with an impatient watch tap as we waited for the weekly, Friday free food at Kitty Kat Bar in Remington. Anyone remember when it was Molly's Public House, lol? I mean you can't really complain when it's free. And when it turned up, compliments of the owner Jeff and Trattoria Annamaria, it was tasty. Up next was the...
Sidebar Calling, the Flying Monkeys and Back-to-School Skating
Last Friday's exhibition bout of the roller girls at St. Frances Academy on Chase and Greenmount was surreal. Skating derby in front of a urban teenage population of around 500 was humbling because they neither seemed to understand what the hell we were doing there, nor care. But it was kind of fun to skate on there pristine...
Stare 'til your eyes fall out
So hanging my Fourth Wall all week has been taxing and rewarding...and yet it's still not done!! But hopefully by Friday I'll get some sleep and it'll knock the kids' socks off.
Outdoor film fests seems to be taking over: Wednesday in Fells Point is the Films on the Pier series, Thursday is Federal Hill's Flicks from the Hill put on by AVAM,...
Labor pains
A long and arduous weekend.
Thursday I hit Sam's Midnight Sun blog party at Idle Hour, which was cool. Lots of nice blog fans and general cheer...except the bacon vodka, yuck! What is it about Idle Hour? People love it. It seemed cool, but, you know, much like a regular bar.
D.C. smells like goose shit. The irony from previous blog e...
Clashing bands, monkeys, bodies and eateries
Anyone else have the black death this week? My cold gives me a sexy phlegm rattle. Provided that diminishes, Friday's my day to skate in front of a school full of homecoming basketball fans at St. Frances Academy at 501 Chase. Should be interesting to skate in front of teenagers who'd rather be watching basketball on a basketball floo...
Take deep breath
Tonight, check out The Ex with Getatchew Mekurya, Double Dagger and Landspeedrecord at the Ottobar. Don't confuse Landspeedrecord with Lightspeed Champion and get all excited, though.
Saturday, go to one of the farmers' markets or see jazz in the sculpture garden at the BMA. Summer's not going to last forever. It's nice to get that...
Sea of sound
Wind and rain soaked, I return from OBX like a Hemingway character. Did everyone have a good weekend?
Tomorrow, go check out our favorite Senator at Joe Squared: Landis Expandis spins, Dig?, with DJ Napspace (who is probably better than the name).
Tuesday also brings us the High Zero Festival, with experimental music abounding, all the wa...
M is for live music on Monday?
Went to the Ottobar last night for Impossible Hair (fun), Avec ('90s sounding emo, but quality) and the Duke Spirit (British). Mommy, my liver hurts. Monday, really?
Anyhow, everyone sounded great, and it was packed. I didn't know why until they played the hit song, and I was like "right, I heard them on the space radio (Sirius)." ...
Missing skin and live music
Hey Baltimore! Life's been kind of a mess for me lately. But hey, the weather's been nice since I came back from San Juan, and I'm wondering how long this Indian summer will last.
Apparently I'm the most graceless girl on the face of the plant as I skinned my knees horrifically falling in the airport trying to catch ...
