I just wanted to say it is amazing that last night Ottobar, Metro Gallery, Soundstage, Creative Alliance, and Union Craft Brewing were all sold out. So happy to see so many people coming out and supporting the scene here.
Went last night. Phenomenal show. Feeble Little Horse and Soccer Mommy killed it too
Love Soccer Mommy, jealous you got to see her! forgot to look up tickets until this week and by then it was sold out rip
They will be at Anthem in DC soon. Can't remember when though. Probably last night, lol.
Feeble Little Horse are the best.
They still making good music? I love Pristine by them.
Her LP came out 2021
Yeah. Bit late but they’re holding a 5 night Festival with special guests at the Ottobar over the next week.
Going tonight!! So glad I scored a ticket weeks ago
I’m always glad to see it too. I tried to go to Astronomy on Tap at Guilford hall a couple weeks back and although my wife and I couldn’t get in, I’m rooting for Baltimore residents to go out and enjoy events so I wasn’t upset.
I noticed there were A LOT of people out last night too and it was great to see.
I know a few people who attempted it as well... and failed! Certainly means they should do more of them
Same. Just wished places stopped closing early and opening later. The streets don’t feel nearly as lively as they used to be.
As somebody that works in the industry the problem is trying to find people that want to work late. I have 13 years in the industry and can get hired anywhere because of this I’m not working somewhere that closes at 2AM anymore. A lot of places that do stay open later usually have higher turnover and sometimes have to close early due to staff shortages.
I've worked the closing hours in Baltimore bars. It's a harsh lifestyle. If businesses want to have more employees working that late, they need to make the compensation worth it.
Sure, I made a lot of cash, but I also had to buy my own health insurance, had zero paid holidays or paid time off, and the earnings were variable depending on the season.
I can work a 9-5 with less cash flow, but be better off financially due to the entire picture of compensation, and that doesn't even touch on the fact that working regular hours with paid vacations is way easier on your body and mind.
As someone that used to work in the industry and periodically still do for extra cash in this economy.. I get it. The quality of life as a Resturtant/hospitality worker is much better. But, as a consumer/patron/local/tourist this doesn’t bode well for my quality of life, nor the communities.
Plus Les Miserables was at Hippo. (Lady’s mom couldn’t go so I had to … don’t judge me)
Everywhere last night was booked til 9 or later. I called at least 6 places.
If people judge for going to plays, movies, etc. they’re weenies!
Les Mis is dope and that productive was incredible.
Don't think it was fully sold out but black panther @ the BSO was packed too
What’s Secret Beach?
It's a secret.
Shit
Secret enough for the 4th reply on a soon to be buried thread?
Such a secret that the original post has been edited to remove mention of it.
WE REMEMBER SECRET BEACH
Never heard of it.
Love Bmore!
Please please what is secret beach? Google knows not.
I’m new to bmore! Would you recommend all these spots? What spots in general are must visits and for what sort of activities?
Depends what you are interested in. Ottobar, Metro, and Soundstage have lots of punk, metal, indie rock, hip-hop, and dance nights. Creative Alliance has a wider range of performances from international artists to more specific cultural celebrations. Union Craft is a brewery and only does the occasional concert, but they also do family oriented events.
If you want to stay in the loop you can use the Tumblr I run (https://baltshowplace.tumblr.com/) that lists most of the concerts happening in town each month. I also have an Instagram (@baltshowplace) that keeps people up to date on any changes to shows and low ticket warnings.
The Port Comedy Club was also sold out Saturday! (And this coming Saturday)!
What's the scene here?
The music scene.
