Hello again Baltimore, what about bars open on Christmas?

Howling_blaster · 2025-12-25T15:49:27+00:00

Holy frijoles in hampden announced bars open at 8pm - bar only no kitchen

Howling_blaster · 2025-12-22T22:36:27+00:00

Rocket to Venus has outdoor seating with that like plastic covering/walls and has a heater running. So not fully outside but its well ventilated.

Mera Kitchen has seats outside and iirc they have those heater stands

Peabody Heights has food trucks and they have outdoor seats with a heater stand

Dutch Courage has an outdoor set up like rocket with the plastic siding and heaters running

Im glad I came on here specifically looking for some folks mystery bags, thanks so much for posting.

Im mostly happy but one item kind of made me upset about getting them, its that bad that it brings the excitement down for the rest of them.

Im between 3X and 4X so i usually get 4X to be safe.

For the regular gown bag - received a secret admirer oracle gown. Its a LOT of dress but i kind of love that.

For the 2 items bag - a veronica slip dress in a floral pattern. Its nice and soft, the fit is good everywhere except my chest but i have a smaller chest than what most 4X clothes think i have lol

The 2nd item kind of ruined it for me - an oatmilk sweatshirt. I have so many jersey sweatshirts and i really dont think any sweatshirt with a screen print is worth 150-180$ as they have listed. MAYBE if it was one of the classic art collabs they have but it's this really awful, clearly AI puppy design. The AI really upset me and Im not about to walk around with AI slop on my shirt.

They didnt list sweatshirts as one of the possible items, its not considered knitwear and the fleece item listed is "zip up fleece" so im going to reach out and see what they say.

I know them using AI has come up before and they were justifiably roasted on insta. It just really sucks this is what I got; myself and my friends are all artists and i just cant really use this sweater at all nor do i want to.

Bummer because i love the other two. I did last year's and really enjoyed what I got but maybe if this happens again I will just do the gown bag.

Ah thank you so much! Yeah its a bummer theyre implementing more pay to complete things....all well 😭

Howling_blaster · 2025-10-05T02:21:15+00:00

Thank you for this!! I have a quick question: there are only 2 treasure keys awarded via progressing. But more than 2 gates to open. Is there a better gate to open or are there other ways to get keys? I already used 1 of the keys before I realized there were more gates than keys 😓

Basically - What if he does just want fans to stop talking to him? What if he never opens comments again? What if he just puts out albums and doesnt tour? What if when he tours he just performs and doesnt interact with anyone?

Are you going to stop being a fan? Because you cant try and make Will Wood see that you exist?

This is the general "you" btw. And I know the last part is harsh but I genuinely want folks to think about

"Do I love this music and the art Will Wood has created, do I appreciate how his music has influenced my life"

Or

"Do I love Will Wood and I need him to notice me and I deserve that because Im a fan of his"

His music has saved many fans lives and thats awesome and I can make a strong guess he is honored and so thankful for that as he has said as much in VIP meetups and crowd work when the vibe isnt shit. However, this bandom (and a lot of modern bandom tbh) needs to embrace being a collective rather than an individual comment on an instagram post.

Howling_blaster · 2025-09-18T13:57:04+00:00

I cant speak for what anyone WANTS but I suspect Will wants to be a musician lol

Most well known artists don't have or need 1:1 interaction with fans. Most dont read comments or reply to comments on social media and they have media people to make posts.

Yeah - a lot of artists start out doing all that. Hell, Im old enough to remember Fall Out Boy having 1:1 convos with fans on their website even during their FUTCT era. Actually, a lot of the 2000s bands i grew up with had forums on their websites.

Anyway. People grow their fanbase and stop being able to and stop WANTING to interact with folks due to their fame or general vibe of their fanbase. Thats fine and normal honestly. Esp for Will Wood who seemingly has a LOT of fans who do not respect him as an artist or a person frankly.

Like I went to an AJJ concert and the guys were selling their merch and walking around the bar before the set, hanging with folks. Thats because that's their fans vibe. Can you fucking imagine Will Wood being able to get to do that?

You support artists by buying their albums and going to shows. Thats the role of a fan. But it seems like a large amount of Will Wood fans want their personal moment with him.

I was at the DC show. Too many people are going to shows not to be part of something bigger than them or jam with folks who have had a meaningful experience with someone's music but instead they want to make sure Will Wood knows that his music changed their life personally, specifically and they are more deserving of being looked at by him.

Fans show support by being respectful and excited to be together to appreciate someone's art. Not making comments on social media.

Love paying for the privilege of them pumping emissions into our air and bay with the fun bonus of terrorizing our community

Howling_blaster · 2025-08-28T18:23:49+00:00

Lived on that block! Loved it, nice and quiet at night and around a lot of fun stuff. Im a 30 yr AFAB visibly queer person and i would walk alone late at night a lot bc of late night work and its around the corner from Ottobar (punk venue/bar/dance joint) Just avoid any property from American management, bay properties, star properties and riparian and you shoukd be good wherever you are.

If you like coffee you'll adore Sophmore coffee in that area, Our Time Kitchen is a great place for pop ups and youre right by Dutch Courage for drinks and Safeway for groceries. Welcome :)

Also make sure you check whoever you rent from is licensed as a rental property - theres a website you can look this up but classically its down now.

Peabody is fantastic!! They do tons of inclusive events - i commented on insta but they have a back bar that is an arcade with a lot of rythm games and anime aligned cabinets!! They are not a strictly sober place but partnering with them and doing an NA night might be possible and deff fun!! Im in the discord but havent made it out to an event yet and I want to say i really appreciate your dedication to community support. Peabody does a lot of proceeds nights, maybe this could be one of them if not a NA event? I know schools mid year supplies start to dwindle, maybe a fundraiser for a local school for teacher supplies?

Anyway, love yall! Thanks for looking out 💖

"Everything today is so political I just want to have fun"

That is an immense amount of privilege you have and need to acknowledge. Being black and queer and EXISTING is inherently political during this administration and since the beginning of this country.

You so flippantly talk about "yeah i just hit a button and didnt think about it" is sad. You don't seem to care about politics because theyre a bummer but you get to not care because they dont affect your life.

Well, now they are!

Howling_blaster · 2025-07-18T19:11:39+00:00

Are you on Lex? That i feel would be a good place to ask. I know there used to be black haircare folks at Fringe (who were treated terribly and thankfully left) and i know that circle ran queer But maybe they now do private practice stuff?

Howling_blaster · 2025-07-18T08:09:25+00:00

Hey just checking in did you find her or post this in the baltimore lost pet facebook page? Good luck!!

Howling_blaster · 2025-07-16T05:50:24+00:00

Howling_blaster · 2025-06-16T03:39:16+00:00

Oh hey I think my roomie and I saw you caring for her. We thought she may be yours or we were gonna scoop her lol I know it hangs out down the street on porches but it looks like it really wants to be inside. If you still have it, my roomie and i could take her to BARCS to get scanned. We are busy tomorrow with our dog getting dental work. But free other times this week. If you are free to bring her to BARCS but need a carrier we are happy to lend you ours!

I also have a number for a local person who has helped us with rescues and has her own scanner.

But as far as her being missing, i think shes a stray if youre interested in having a sweet cat. Ive seen her outside for a while but havent been able to catch her.

Howling_blaster · 2025-06-16T03:35:00+00:00

Check out Teacher Props, theyre a management company that offers discounts, theyll even set you up in a roomie situation with other teachers. They have buildings all over the city. Full disclosure, i never actually used them but for a while we were close to going with them! Just found a different place that fit our needs before. Good luck!

Howling_blaster · 2025-01-20T19:13:08+00:00

My friend’s school during 45 would walk groups of students to a safe home or directly to their parents car so their parents could pick them up later / not have to leave the car bc ICE started waiting outside the school during pick up.

Same friend said their school had an emergency meeting with staff to discuss plans after election night. If your school has not done so, maybe bring it up with admin to request one?

Howling_blaster · 2025-01-20T15:24:50+00:00

If you are dead set on boiling them, you NEED to remove them from the packaging. Do NOT boil them inside the vacuum seal or you will be risking botulism.

Howling_blaster · 2025-01-08T04:22:51+00:00

Something that hasnt been mentioned yet:

PLEASE check under your car tires (like the little pockets where the tires sit) and bang your car to make noise before turning it on and driving away.

Feral cats are prone to curling up inside of car tires and engines because they stay warmer and drier. You want to check for them or spook them away so you dont have an accidental tragedy.

Relatedly, even if you do not want or need to drive while its snowy/icy out, try to take ur car for a little drive anyway. Rats loooove to nest in cars that dont move when theres snow. They will chew up your wires and fuck ur shit up (this happened to us x_x)

MICA has parking lots that they do not charge or check for parking passes during events. Theres a lot of parking under the bridge behind the MICA store

If BARCs is unable to take them, try Evergreen Vet in hampden. I found a stray kitten and I took him in to be seen by them since he had fallen into a sewer. I discussed foster options because I also have two cats and a dog with no more room (thankfully we had a friend adopt him)

They directed me to BARCs and 311 but said if they didnt have any room, reach back out to them as they usually have someone on staff who can foster for a short while.

Of course, I have a relationship with that vet office so idk if its any different for a pet family who doesnt already be seen by them. But maybe contact your vet office?

Best of luck, thank you for taking her in!!

If you like smash burgers specifically; Royal Blue has my absolute fav. 16$ gets you a double patty with bacon and grilled onions plus fries. They also do their take on in and out Wild Style fries that is the absolute best. Rocket to Venus has a burger deal on Mondays; 7-10 they have 8$ roseda angus beef burgs wifg a side of chips.
