To the surprise of many indie rockers, experts have determined that being skinny is not the same as being healthy. Getting regular exercise (re: not just coke-fueled dance parties) is important for well-being and can actually be kind of fun.
Charm City Yoga (Mid-town and Fells Point locations) is a great place for sweatin' and stretchin', providing challenging but manageable yoga classes. A personal favorite is the ...
As they so often are, the yearning I had for a tuna sub this past Friday (1/11) was sudden. I had recently gotten over a pretty serious flu, a main drawback of which was a reshuffling of my eating schedule. I hadn't had a full meal in days. What I needed was something with protein as well as carbohydrates. Fresh vegetables would be preferable. ...
Apparently the Convention Center gets used for more than just Otakon and the Magic Card national championship. Tomorrow (Jan. 18) the Major League Soccer Superdraft will be going on inside the glass behemoth downtown, starting at 2 pm. Presumably this event will be a little less nerdy.
The MLS last came to Baltimore for their annual disbursement of young talent in 2005. It seems like a strange choice. ...

Typically there's not much interesting going on at Penn Station during my morning commute. In fact, when one's mornings become defined by the same exhausted and resigned faces trudging to DC every single day, it can be downright dreary. So it was with great pleasure, and delayed surprise as my brain booted up, that I recognized three-time Pro Bowl cornerback Chris McAlister sitting on a bench this morning.
Well-dressed and ...

Last night I was trying, unsuccessfully, to find an entertaining sporting event to watch on the Image Box and happened to see a preview for Meet the Spartans. This is one of those parody movies where some enterprising young filmmaker rips off recently popular movies and turns them into ...
Just a little reaction here to Monday's news that our beloved Ravens fired long-time coach Brian Billick. The dude deserves a lot of credit for bringing back winning football to our city after a 25 year hiatus, excepting the Baltimore Stallions Grey Cup triumph in 1995. And, considering that victory over the Doug Flutie-led Calgary Stampeders made us champions of the Canadian Football League, an ...

Re: Special K, Greg says Hey Pete, Andy and Jenn tipped me off to the new site you and John are working on when I saw them Friday night at their show in Boston (the first of many, I hope). Looks like it’s still getting started, but very nice design. They said something about the City...
Re: more like “philly’s worst!” *snap!*, Aliza says “…the strangely satisfying taste of ersatz Buttered Popcorn coming out of a tiny glucose nugget,” Hah!
Re: more like “philly’s worst!” *snap!*, hup says Well you struck out with the tuna sub but I’m told that blindfolded their slice of pizza is often mistaken for filet mignon and green beans.
Re: Wye Oak (née Monarch) hits the big time, Jeff says This was a kick ass show! I can’t remember the last time I saw The Talking Head with so many people. If you snoozed on this one, you’re lame.
