Good Morning Baltimore




This fall I had a voracious hunger for The Wire. The violence, sub culture and grit of City of God inspired my lust and craving for Rio de Janiero. The same qualities in the HBO hit inspired my craving for D.C.'s neighbor in the mid-Atlantic.

Baltimore - What to do...

Here is a link to a cool hunting video I found on activities and locations to visit in Baltimore.

And a NY Times "36 hours in" article on the city too.

Some Highlights:

Station North Arts District


American Visionary Arts Musuem

Red Emma's Bookstore


Load of Fun Studios

Paradox Club

Jerking

Like krumping, vogueing and breaking - here's a new dance craze out of LA I just read about from Guy Treby's article in the Styles Section of the NY Times.


Crews:


Team Dummy: Latino crew out of Long Beach, California

u.c.L.A Jerk Kings: "White Boys Jerking"

Ranger$: "Jerkin' in JerkVille"

As always, my pride lingers longer with female crews...

From Asylum Records:

Rej3ctz

New Boyz: "You're a Jerk"
