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 ...

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

"if you're into the whole baseball thing grab a ballpark frank @ memorial stadium!"

Amon spends a lot of time at the woman's industrial exchange so he should know

LOL @ gabbipedia

It does not play often, though, and may be rusty

more or less rusty than Fodor's Virginia & Maryland: The Complete Guide with Colonial Villages, Battlefields and the Shore (1997/4th ed)???

god, imagine what would have happened if you guys weren't here to save the day

gabbneb spends a lot of time grabbing ballpark franks so he should know

I prefer lobster rolls

faidley's is ok, score +1 for the gabbipedia

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'.
