Mondo Baltimore extended through the fall

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!

Ride to the Rally to Restore Sanity with Team Bad Decisions

In case you were unaware due to the fact that you live under a rock, on October 30th the fine folks at Comedy Central and The Daily Show / Colbert Report are throwing several comedy-based rallies in Washington, DC which promise to bring ….something to the political landscape that seems to be so deeply troubled in this day and age.

But really, who wants to DRIVE to DC? It sucks! And the stupid goddammed MARC train doesn’t run on weekends, and the Metro costs money and and and and

Which is why, dear readers, you should forego any thought of trying to drive yourself to the rally – if you should decide to go – and hitch a ride with John Reusing and the fine freaks of Bad Decisions (1928 Fleet St., Fells Point) on their bus tour to the rallies. John plans on renting out “as many buses as it takes, hopefully [two] or more” to get concerned citizens of Baltimore to Washington.

The buses will have bathrooms and there will (probably) be booze, and every rider gets a “TEAM BAD DECISIONS” T-shirt, $25-30 depending on unforeseen costs.

The event’s Facebook page, the Twitter hashtag is #BDRT. Or if you must, call Bad Decisions(410) 979-5161 for more info.

Oktober Muggfest at Muggsy’s Mughouse

Not to be outdone by Cuppy’s Cuphouse and their Cuptober Cuppfest, This Thursday September 23rd Muggsy’s Mughouse (1236 Light St, Federal Hill) will be hosting their “Original Oktoberfest celebration.” For $20 (in advance, $25 at the door) ye shall receive a 16 oz. bottomless* take-home pint glass and access to a buffet full of delicious German eats. Apparently the thing is sponsored by Warsteiner, one of my fave beers, so it should be pretty good stuff.

In other news, Muggsy Bogues.

T&T&A Book Party at Larry Flint’s Hustler Club

Next Thursday, September 9th at Larry Flint’s Hustler Club (409 E. Baltimore St., Downtown) from 8-11pm comes one of the more unusual book signings/parties I’ve heard of in a while (and by that I mean ever); NY based photographer Tony Stamolis’ recent release T&T&A – a book solely devoted to pictures of topless women alongside pictures of tacos and other Mexican food – is coming to town and doin’ it up The Block style right here in Baltimore. I thumbed through a few pages of the tome and what can I say, it’s a bunch of topless women and dirty Mexican food. So, if that’s your thing then by all means grab yourself a copy of the book next Thursday!

Baltimore Beer Week 2010 (aka BBW 2010)

The cooler days of Fall are approaching (thank God) and it can mean one of several things for you personally, be it impending yardwork, giving birth to a child, whatever floats your boat. But certainly, one thing it should definitely mean for you personally is your participation in the 2nd Annual Baltimore Beer Week, put […]
