    Portraits, Past and Present

    There is an art exhibition in Baltimore that spans two museums.

  • Baltimore’s Round Robin Tour

    Baltimore’s Round Robin Tour

    For months now, all the talk in my neighborhood has been about the Round Robin Tour. Something like a dozen Baltimore bands have been on tour together. What’s special about it is the format of the show. The show starts, and one band plays one song. Immediately after that, another band plays another song, and so on until all the bands have played a song. Then, they do it again, and again. It’s great! For anyone who gets sick of listening to sound checks between each and every band, this is a dream come true. It’s a wonderful idea, and Baltimore is very proud to have these bands draw huge crowds nationwide – no kidding, huge crowds! The show’s almost over, but there’s one performance left, and you can download the compilation from the tour!

    A “Wake” for Link Magazine

    Tonight was a mournful night for the arts community of Baltimore, even though the mourning was mostly in jest. A “wake” was held for Baltimore’s defunct arts magazine, Link: A Critical Arts Journal in Baltimore and the World (1996-2006). For ten years or so, Link was a preeminent authority on the subject of – you guessed it – arts in Baltimore and the World.

    Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Bike Race

    My bike-courier roomies are planning a bike race. The interesting thing, to me, about this bike race is that it is a “choose your own adventure” race. Racers will arrive at predetermined checkpoints, where they will discover a new chapter in the story of their adventure through baltimore. The object of the game is to stay alive!
