Mondo Baltimore extended through the fall

September 28th, 2010 | 4 Comments

This past summer, a phenomenon was born: Mondo Baltimore. A glorious festival of sitting amongst a crowd of people at Windup Space (12 W North Ave., Charles North) and watching awful, terrible movies every first Thursday throughout the summer was a wonderful thing, so wonderful in fact that Mondo Baltimore has been extended through the fall, and with any luck and lots of patronage will become a permanent fixture on the landscape of awesome in this city. So please won’t you, join the ghoulish Minions of Mondo next Thursday October 7th for their next feature, Trick or Treat starring Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons! Doors open at 6:30pm or something. More movies listed on the flier below! (Mondo Baltimore also has a Facebook page) … Read entire article »

For something a bit different and with far less vomit during this year’s Halloween festivities, I fully intend to patronize Station North in lieu of more jam-packed, expensive and otherwise drunk as hell areas like Fell’s Point or Federal Hill. And so should you. Granted, you’ll be trading your crowd of 20,000 totally sweet sexy nurses/school teachers/eskimos/vinyl siding salesmen for a crowd of hipsters/art students/or both in TOTALLY IRONIC costumes, but I’m willing to bet you’ll see a lot more creativity and far less public urination with the latter. Not to mention that all six participating venues – with the exception of one – are FREE to attend and offer a lot of entertainment and SWEET CONTESTS for your general enjoyment. For a full list of such events, check out the … Read entire article »

Event Plug – Ignite Baltimore

June 25th, 2009 | Add a Comment

Tonight marks the 3rd Ignite Baltimore event taking place at the Windup Space on North Ave., 6pm. The multimedia event places speakers on a stage with 20 Powerpoint slides, and 5 minutes to say whatever it is they have to say. I have only attended one of them but it was a fairly interesting to see the wide variety of discussion topics. From surviving the first year of a 2.0 company to Councilman Bill Henry’s “Perfecting the Union,” a slightly longer than 5 minute presentation on the need for citizens of Baltimore to become engaged in the civic process – most of the presentations were engaging to say the least. Tickets are more than likely all given out, but the event is free and there’s 99% chance anyone without a ticket … Read entire article »
