-go to an orioles game. it's easy to get there (take the light rail to convention center/camden yards), cheap (tickets can be as cheap as $7), and fun (even if you don't like baseball, it's an interesting cultural experience!). you can bring your own food in, too!
-catch the last of the little italy film series on friday, august 29. they are showing "cinema paradiso" at the intersection of high and stiles streets (you can walk there from the inner harbor); show is at 7 pm but you need to get there early to find seats. free!
-go to the maryland state fair at timonium fairgrounds (literally one light rail stop from lutherville). full of fried things on sticks, adorable farm animals, and an impressive array of crafts, clothes, and crops grown by area 4Hers. you might also see a chainsaw-carving artist or a swimming pig. i think it's $8 but it's totally worth the experience. appreciate what maryland has to offer-- i always forget that we have such a strong rural community here too.
-check out erin fitzpatrick's baltimore portrait series, on display at hampden's awesome rocket to venus restaurant/bar until october 12.
-if you're looking for a specific reason to explore patterson park (see my last post for more about that), go to the 30th annual ukrainian festival there on september 6 & 7. it features ukrainian food, music and dance on both days.
below are some photos of my state fair experience last weekend:

Farm shows are my favorite! You totally need to come to the Pennsylvania State Farm Show in January. It's the culinary and baby animal highlight of my year. It will change your life.
Hi. Thank you so much for mentioning my portrait show at Rocket to Venus! I will add your blog to my links.
