  I bet someone who reads this blog knows one of these people.  I lurked the girl’s name and found out that she’s associated with Wham City so I hope this is some kind of performance art piece or just a bunch of friends making up a story to get on television.
  The case is basically a guy, [...]

  When he’s not cracking skulls as a bouncer, Baltimore based photographer Al Heishman is shooting sweet sweet nudes in my living room.  Be sure to stop by his brand new website and check out some of his work.

  12.10.09 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Italian screamo band Raein played earlier this week at the Barclay House in Baltimore.  They put on a great show despite the fact that three of the dudes were sick.  If they’re coming near you on their current tour I would suggest going to see them because I doubt they’ll be back in the states for a while.

  What’s up with the creepy VJ introducing him?
  Some creep set up a Mark Gormley fansite.
