hello again! i would like to encourage everyone to
GO TO ARTSCAPE THIS WEEKEND!it is going to be wonderful. three (or, two and a half) days of art, music, dance, theatre, vendors, and marveling in baltimore's splendid arts scene. it is FREE and is going to be giant. whartscape's lineup for sunday looks good too, but $12 just does not compare to the free festivities at artscape.
it looks like the weekend of july 26 & 27th is going to be outrageous, so please take the time to check out some of the events going on then. if you're in town, you should consider:
-the hamilton street festival, featuring a classic car show and live music.
-baltimore's water ballet troupe, fluid movement, will be performing their "Mother Goosed: The Nurseryland Campaign Tales" at riverside park. i'm not really sure what the deal is with fluid movement, but from what i gather they are a politically-minded, satirical, performing arts group. i would like to learn more about them. the tickets for this show are pricey ($25), so i will probably wait to see them at patterson park on august 2 & 3.
-the chesapeake folk festival, sponsored by the maryland traditions program and the chesapeake bay maritime museum, should be really cool too. here's how it's described on their website: "A celebration of the Bay's people, traditions, work, food, and music, the festival gives you a unique chance to enjoy hands-on demonstrations by regional craftspeople and live musical performances by the Zionaires, the New Gospelites, Three Penny Opera, and Irish traditional musicians. You can take a boat ride on the Miles River and dine on steamed crabs, crab cakes, beer, or barbeque chicken."
-the creative alliance's salsapolkalooza festival, as described below, should also be quite a treat!
-it looks like there will be a german festival at the state fair grounds in timonium as well that weekend. the 108th annual (!), this involves a lot of beer and live music.
finally, my friend showed me this blog today and it looks absolutely wonderful. check it out.

THe water ballet is going to be awesome! Only the show on the 26th (Sat) is $25 (it's a benefit with beer and hot dogs). All other performances are $9, and I promise it will be the best $9 you will ever spend!!!
