^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 ...
