So, other than Devil’s Night, All Hallows’ Eve, Samhain, All Saints’ Day, and the Day of the Dead, there’s really nothing happening this week. Here’s where:
1. Baltimore Critical Mass will begin (in costume!) tonight at 7:00 p.m. by the Washington Monument in Mt. Vernon. The idea is simple: cyclists have just as much a right as [...]

Willing Spirits – The Ghosts of Baltimore
October 29th, 2009 No Comments
Ghost tourism is an odd, if not paranormal, phenomenon.

October 23rd, 2009 1 Comment
After last weekend’s weather, I’d welcome anything, but the forecast actually looks strong for a few pleasant, partially outdoors days of autumn this week.

This show we’ve mentioned before, and its recurrence tonight should serve as proof of its success so far. The fourth installment of Ignite Baltimore, an attention-deficit networking event imported from Seattle, goes up at 6:00 p.m. tonight, October 22, at the Walters Art Museum in Midtown (600 N.

Baltimore User’s Guide – Trivial, Fond Records
October 21st, 2009 No Comments
The list of things you should pay for on-line is shorter than you think. Included are fines, items not sold in the United States, and stuff you’re ashamed to be seen buying. Music is not among these.
