Baltimore

xpost: i moved to baltimore for a job! i will agree it's no philly.

My mom didn't find anything under her beds. But she did find shit smeared under her couch. A pile of shit under her TV stand and one Thomas the Train Table had even been smeared!

This is not possible - they were in the living room, and the cat boxes are in one of the closets.
I mean, my cats don't carry their cat shit around the apartment with them.

Nice try, though. You're not destroying anything. I can always go back into Voyager
and make more printouts, including printouts of the po to indicate that the item
was replaced.

This just shows how scatalogically minded these people are.

It's true I don't clean the cat box enough - but I am depressed and otherwise
occupied, not to mention suffering from chronic headaches.

But why do I find myself defending myself like this, when they're not
even supposed to be here.

And this reminds me of a fight I had with Ken about not cleaning the cat box
enough.

It also reminds me of the 'how often do you change your towel' thread
on ilx, because I probably wasn't changing my towel enough for their
satisfaction.

I mean, these people have to break into your apartments to get
dirt on you.

And I'm sure they rationalize the fact that they use a key - it's
not burglary if someone gave you the key.

I mean, you would not believe the rationalizations these people
use. I can only hope they all end up in prison, where they'll
actually have to face someone who tells them what they did.

Have you ever talked to someone whom you know is a criminal?

If you have, you know what I'm talking about - the way their eyes
shift around, the way they can't talk without giving themselves away....

One of their justifications is that I don't own the property, that I'm
a renter, and I can only afford that apartment by someone else's
grace.

And I know "Ken" buys into all of this shit - he just rationalizes and
rationalizes. He's obsessed with education, the education he feels
he was cheated out of, and he tries to sound all 'philosophical'
when he rationalizes the most heinous things.

i have a week off between jobs and flights are cheap. my best friend from LA would go w/me and we have a college friend that lives there.

d.c. -> baltimore is one hour by MARC train. can't recall if it runs on weekends but its only $7. by car, the same, but traffic permitting.

i'm thinking high black population = records!

but d.c. proves this wrong!

I like DC, it is much more fancy and uptight and expensive though.

towson borders went out of business? fuck a barnes & noble

I liked the amount of used book stores in Long Beach, CA. I feel like B-more lacks.

and what's up w/it being the second worst city to live in besides detroit?

second worst according to.. ? it probably is though.

-- cancer prone fat guy

Summer turns the stove on
And fun begins to cook
Barefoot walks in Baltimore
With empty pocketbook

Laugh at sizzling sidewalks
Don't step on the cracks
Old folks try to catch their breath
As children catch their jacks

Barefoot in Baltimore
Heel and toe with you

Baltimore is music
Dancing in the street
Half-chewed Dubble Bubble
Tugging at our feet

Melted tar in crosswalks
Crab shells in the park
Pavement frying our poor toes
Until long after dark

When night comes we can go walking
On the shores of Chesapeake Bay
A silence tailored for talking
And a love with so much to say

from upthread:
lol, which one is perpetua

this still makes me rofl

^this too

jess, do you get to hear this stuff out much?

do you know if there was an original break that everyone samples for these tracks kinda like the amem? it sounds pretty programmed, but they all sound the same

u live there too, right? is a lot of the stuff way more ravey now? u got mixtapes you wanna ysi a brotha?

i know it's like 10 hipster steps removed, but the SpankRock show and opening DJs were fucking so much fun

i went from hating them to loving them. not the greatest mc, but super fun. i'm a total corny indie hip hop lover again, but the two best shows i've seen in ages were spankrock and edan.

a lot of em use the Sing Sing break I think but these ones in the videos sound different

that one at the very top sounds like it's based on "it's time for the percolator"

they totally deserve all the dissing, BUT they're fun. so i don't care. also (if it's any consolation) scott seward, myself and confounded (who's taste in music i respect) are digging the album.

Two Dead, 11 Injured In Multiple Shootings, Stabbings

the sextuple shooting is far too close for comfort. ugh

^ and that was like a block or two from some new condos XD

Mount Royal Avenue and St. Paul Street.

good christ that's like four blocks from my house

uh.... on a lighter note

http://www.thefader.com/blog/articles/2007/05/21/pharrell-eats-baltimore
http://www.thefader.com/blog/articles/2007/05/23/audio-twista-f-pharrell-give-it-up

and the 6 yr old(!) that was shot was on the edge yuppie/art student enclave Bolton Hill

dude okay, so just after i posted that last night, i was walking up charles st. around the train station at 9 pm-ish and suddenly 6 or 7 cop cars come tearing up the block, sirens blazing, only to ALL do a complete 180 and then head back down the street the wrong way, bang out a right onto mount royal, and the next thing i know they're all up in the block behind 1722/club charles, and then BACK on charles and on to parts unknown (up north ave?). there were about 10 cop cars in the area in total and at least two helicopters. i for about a minute i honestly thought it might be a wire shoot until i realized there was absolutely no cast or crew anywhere.

wtf is going on these days??

i THINK they might have been chasing this kid on a motorbike because he came tearing down charles the wrong way right before all the cop cars did their 180, but i have no idea why.

dead people be funny

lol 1722

man I always sleep on the Noize board and miss threads like this. I could've told stories about when my metal band played the Sidebar! homicides are up like 10 from this time last year, though, so depressing.

my girl's starting grad school @ College Park in the fall and I'm super bummed that we're probably moving to LAUREL :( keeping my job in the city, though.

haha, that's the one next to Never On Sunday, right? it always did strike me as weird.

also re: that $2 bill story, I remember back when that happened a couple years ago I was working the register at a store up the road from there in Cockeysville, and it didn't surprise me at all, people seemed really paranoid about counterfeit bills around there.

maybe it's close enough to DC for the SS boys to come up stompin

^this, every time I go to Baltimore. Story is always different but always equally woah.

One of my friends called Baltimore the most misanthropic place on earth. Confirm/deny

deny

i don't really know what that means. it is inhospitable to humans or it is full of hateful people? which?

the people in the city mostly hate all people, i think is what he was going for

oh i hate people and i like people that hate people but it seems pretty friendly imo, and not in that cheap midwestern way yuck

friendly old people, friendly criminals, friendly cats

this sounds like a dream place

i think baltimore has its own particular flavor of misanthropy that could be compared to that of other US cities, but not necessarily in any quantitative way.

one time in baltimore i didn't give this lady change and she said BYE! YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE YOU! i know that could happen anywhere but it was really nice of her and not misanthropic at all

Baltimore is so not misanthropic, it is a total love-fest
(except for all the people getting murdered and stuff)

but anyhoo

speaking of love-fest, if any noize people are around in Baltimore:

there is a benefit for the True Vine's tax troubles (bank account seized by the State of Maryland- oh snap)
at the Floristree this Friday night- lotsa people are playing:

DAN HIGGS / CEX / JANA HUNTER / COO COO ROCKIN' TIME (fair bros) / BILL NACE

and, er, MATMOS too!

So I don't wanna selfpromote here but it's a benefit for a groovy cause.

damn i didn't know about True Vine...love that place, if i can come out to support i will. although i'm sure the place will be full even w/o me.

suggestions for a venue for a small rock band to play in Baltimore?

like how small? a few inches? ^_^

no, like no one knows who we are

Jordan asked me this same question last week! this was the list i sent him: the Talking Head Club, the Windup Space, the Metro Gallery, the Ottobar, the Hexagon, Charm City Art
Space, Floristree

could think of more or give details if u need

if you are a noise band, The Bank

if you are free improv, The Red Room

I think the Hexagon is a good starting place- they have a great PA, it's small, conveniently located (though they are tearing up Charles St. on that block right now, nice folks, not too hard to get a show there I reckon

There's a show on the 13th at the Hexagon that I should (self promo alert) mention too:

Peter REHBERG / Marcus SCHMICKLER / MATMOS with Jay LESSER
Hexagon wednesday may 13th

super sad to miss that one

man thanks for all the info, yaaaallllllllllll

i don't think a baltimore date is gonna happen for us. ;_; d.c. is lookin' good though.

bummer, because of scheduling or just clubwise? anyway let me know where you guys end up playing in d.c., i'm pretty much equidistant.

just scheduling, i don't think we have time to hit both d.c. and baltimore. thx for the info though, i'll definitely let you know about d.c.

it's raining

please to list #1 thing to do with an afternoon in baltimore!

walk a doggy in patterson park

if you don't have a doggy you're s.o.l. though, i guess

3 glasses of any of the (delicious) Oliver Ales on tap for $4 until 7pm at the Wharf Rat in Fells Point. There's other stuff to do for an afternoon in Baltimore but this is always how mine go.

please to list #1 thing to do with an afternoon in baltimore!

gabbipedia: get a crabcake at Faidley's in the Lexington Market (or, on a Saturday afternoon, go to Cross Street Market) then head to the Inner Harbor (checking out Old St. Paul's en route from Faidley's?) and go to the American Visionary Art Museum (walk up Federal Hill) and/or Aquarium (open til 8 on Friday) and/or water taxi to Fells Pt (and Fort McHenry?) (or cruise out to the Key Bridge with http://www.spiritcruisesbaltimore.com/bc/sightseeing/index.jsp or http://www.clippercity.com/ladyanna.html). or if you want less touristy, go up to Mt. Vernon and check out the Basilica, the Peabody, and the Walters.

at least that's what I'm gonna do

i want to go to here: http://www.joesquared.com

i went there once. it was ok.

go to the True Vine, look at the flyers for shows, go see something at The Bank, Floristree, Hexagon, Comfort Dome, America, Red Room ...

if you're into the whole goyish '50s ladies lunchroom thing, eat here - http://www.womansindustrialexchange.org/

hey saturday is the baltimore herb festival

shit my friend says his couch is like, in his room? and also that he lives between dc and baltimore is that gonna make drinking difficult?

or maybe we should just stay out all night
what time do bars close?

what is a bus that goes from dc to baltimore and why can i not find this clearly stated anywhere on the interwebs?
thank you in advance. i do not have time to go through 300 bureaucratic web pages for different regional transit cos.

Greyhound (plus cab on destination end)

but Amtrak is bus-cheap

bars close at like 2am, Baltimore's not a great city for partying all night in legitimate drinking establishments

"if you're into the whole goyish '50s ladies lunchroom thing, eat here - http://www.womansindustrialexchange.org/";

Your information is several years out-of-date. Shocking, I know.

yeah they changed up the menu blah blah I know

recs now based on recent experience - skip teh aquarium. obv. - it might be good, but an aquarium is an aquarium, and for the same price you can go to the AVAM and take a water taxi, which are much more distinctive (likewise, the Greek/Roman/Egyptian stuff at the Walters, which is free, is v good, but you can see that stuff elsewhere too). instead, go directly do not pass go to the AVAM, where the current exhibit has some great stuff. i'd say at least 1.5-2 hours. i spent twice that, including in the store. definitely play with the music box on the first floor and also the audio thing downstairs near the bathrooms (and check out the bathroom entrance on the third floor, which has the least interesting stuff). you can do water taxis out to Fells late in the day when stuff is closing and it isn't as hot out and it's beer time.

i forgot what a fucking shithole this town is tho. and how weird it is - i'm walking up towards bolton hill and pass early 20sish black dude pushing a stroller and puffing on cig and give him the NYC checkout glance, and dude goes 'Sir'.

the AVAM is really a great museum tho

hey thanks for coming!

to the shithole!

i learned a long time ago not to look strangers up and down on the mean streets of Baltimore...can't tell you how many times i've been called "Sir"

me no understand

[i learned a long time ago not to look strangers up and down on the mean streets of Baltimore

theoretically yr not supposed to do that in ny either (tho the streets in most parts of the city are hardly mean these days); i do it all the time. ppl seemed to acknowledge one another more than in ny tho - i don't know if that'a a southern thing as much as it's a "small"-town thing.

me no understand

"race and class," bro

your story proves Baltimore is a "shithole" how exactly?

i think he meant it proves how baltimore is weird but either way i still don't get this story i'm confused

guys - - gabbneb is scared of black people.

the guy called him "Sir," nuff said

yes, Mr. Que, yes

that's why i live 10 blocks from Harlem and you live in a gated community in Whitey Washington

:o

haha i don't think so no gates on my community--but congratulations on feeling weird when someone says hi to you. you should get out of the house more

tell us more about the big stone gate and the fountain and trees and garden, Mr. Que

do you have a lot of black folks up there in the country?

what is happening

were comparing our black people bonafides

Mr. Que thinks it's an important subject. Is he going to tell us about his Black Friends?

dude

there's no gate where i live, and just because you happen to have been there does not exactly give you the right to talk about it--i will kindly ask you to leave personal shit out of this

all of your shit is personal shit, bro

STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

this thread is about baltimore

and as long as you continue to make shit up about me i will continue to say whatever the fuck i want about you

Sir.

no offense harbl but gabbneb talking about his new baltimorean friends and performing classic weird gabbneb bombing on mr. que is about 4x better than whatever else was on this thread

http://www.brewerync.com/bands/joey.jpg

xp

i know max but sometimes the weird bombing really sets my teeth on edge

(for what it's worth i'm very sorry i contributed to the ruining of the baltimore thread. i was just trying to understand some things, things that remain best unexplained i guess. i jumped to conclusions.)

it's oh que

i understand harbl but remember that you are watching one of the few truly n/l posters on ilx

mr que do you want to come to our fap tonight? you're invited xp

yeah everybody please come to my farewell east coast tour!

yr moving?

sweet! that's really nice but i'm down in dc & kinda busy--some marauders demolished this stone wall in front of my complex last night, so a bunch of us are spending the day repairing it--i just came inside to get some lemonade :/

i am in alexandria right now lol

yeah she's in egypt and even she's coming wtf

looking forward to my first baltimore visit on wednesday!

doh, jetlag meant that I thought it was wednesday when it was thursday- no brotzmann show, but I did catch the megamartyr show at the hexagon (strobe lights / saz / feedback / delay / screaming / high volume / everybody going off )

jordan! i didn't realize you ended up booking a show here after all -- i'm gonna try to come out, lemme know what time you guys are playing

awesome. i think it's gonna be 9:30 on wednesday, don't know how many sets we're doing (if we're the only band then probably 2 or 3, if there are people there).

"the NYC checkout glance"

Sorry, Baltimore. I didn't know these city threads could be so entertaining.

barcode-reading lasers?

You point the lasers at black men and they call you "Sir", for some reason.

I can't say for sure since my eyes started to fill with tears after gabbneb's second or third post on this thread.

Good riddance to a dumb idea that had NOTHING to do with Baltimore.

cp has the better scoop:

Others, however, say the company's move was timed to squelch a workers' vote on joining the steelworkers union. Jeanne Williams, nicknamed "Captain Smiley," has worked as a Ride the Ducks boat captain since 2003. She says safety concerns led other captains and mechanics to ask the United Steelworkers Union to represent them in negotiations with Ride the Ducks. She says long hours and neglected maintenance on the boats gave them concerns over passenger safety.

"We sought union representation from the United Steel Workers," she says, "not for money, but because we were concerned for the safety of the vehicles, ourselves, and our passengers. Management had ignored that. . . . I think they clearly got the message that we fully intended to vote for the union, and we would win the vote, so this was their last-ditch effort to stop that."

Williams says she and other employees learned of the closing Tuesday morning, when they received a UPS package outlining severance benefits, which she described as "generous," that included an agreement not to speak publicly about the circumstances of the closing. "I'm obviously not going to be signing that," she says.

Phil Ornot, district organizing coordinator for the United Steelworkers union, says he was contacted by Baltimore duck boat captains about safety issues on the boats, and filed a petition with the Review Board. Ornot says he attempted to speak with company representatives but wasn't given an opportunity.

"The company is claiming economic conditions here, tourism is down, all this kind of stuff," Ornot says. "Even if that was the case, in many places we sit down and we work with employers who have problems. The unions fight to keep jobs, and sometimes you have to sacrifice, and just hope for better times. The company never gave these people that opportunity, or gave United Steelworkers the opportunity to sit down and discuss that.

"It's just a typical story of a bigger company that is going to fight, and not let these people have a voice," Ornot says. "Their issues were not monetary at all—it was not benefits, it was not health care, not pension. All it was was over safety."

yeah, lol @ sun basically reprinting press release

thanks for killing this after i moved, assholes

i see these ducks all the time. those people are crazy.

i was wondering why my monthly strongo sightings on charles st. had ceased, when'd you move dude

for some reason Three Word Username being totally aggro about the duck tour is cracking me up

Traumatized by a duck tour I went on in Boston when I studied at Harvard, wherein people who spoke more than one language were treated as three-headed magicians. Also that shit had NOTHING to do with Baltimore.

i started listening to lungfish and it's really making me think about baltimore

Student Fells Intruder with Samurai Sword
Man Killed after Having Hand Chopped Off by Johns Hopkins Undergrad, Baltimore Police Say

(AP) Baltimore police say a Johns Hopkins University undergraduate student armed with a samurai sword killed an intruder he discovered in his garage.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says campus security and an off-duty city officer responding to a call for a suspicious person heard screams to call police around 1:20 a.m. Tuesday in the 300 block of University Parkway.

Guglielmi says the student told a man he found inside his garage to leave and the man accosted him. That's when Guglielmi says the student defended himself, cutting off the man's hand and causing a severe laceration to his upper body.

He says the man died on the scene, but police are not yet releasing his name.

Police are interviewing the student and his three roommates and are talking to prosecutors about whether to file charges.

Here are some pretty important detail from The Sun that AP doesn't have:

Detectives were still interviewing the student and his three roommates Tuesday morning, Guglielmi said. Burglars had already stolen two laptops and a Sony PlayStation from the student's home Monday, according to Guglielmi.

...

The suspected burglar, whose name was not released pending notification of next of kin, had prior convictions for breaking and entering and had just been released Saturday from a Baltimore County facility, Guglielmi said.

not important

Other articles say that the student went down to the basement with three other students to investigate the noise. I'm wondering if the "four-on-one" aspect will lead to criminal charges or not; press statements from the police are deliberately uncertain at this point. Considering that it was a burglar breaking and entering, self-defense is clear, but those numbers could influence how this is interpreted.

lol at the sun basically outlining the best course of action if YOU TOO want to learn to wield a sword lethally. Expect related articles in the future, I imagine.

The sword police recovered from the scene, with a sharp blade and ribbon-wrapped hilt, is a replica of a historic samurai weapon. Though a real one would cost thousands of dollars, Guglielmi said, this one probably cost a few hundred.

The police spokesman said the student who wielded the weapon had no advanced sword training. "He wasn't a ninja," Guglielmi said.
