Sorry this is late, I was out with the GalPals. Consistently nice weather means lots of goings on in the city this week. I’m taking a break during the week because my March schedule almost killed me. Then I’m back at it again on Friday. I’m going to Out Of Order at Maryland Art Place. It’s your chance to find that perfect piece of artwork you’ve been searching for at a great price. Plus there will be good food and a fun afterparty. On Saturday morning I’m volunteering at the Festival for the Animals at Druid Hill Park. It’s the Maryland SPCA‘s main fundraiser for the year. Come see me at the Family Fun Tent and support some super cute furry friends. Saturday evening I’m going to see Submersive Productions‘s MASS/Rabble at the Baltimore War Memorial. I can’t really tell you what you are going to experience if you go but it will be awesome so catch it during it’s short run in Baltimore. Sunday is the day I’ve been waiting for since December, Baltimore Farmers’ Market & Bazaar Opening Day 2019! I can’t wait to visit all my favorite vendors and buy some delicious food/produce. I like to go right when they open at 7 so you will have to be an early bird if you want to catch me!

After guests have checked in, we will then walk to about 60 points of interest, seeing quite a lot of street art, but also learning the history of this often overlooked urban landscape. We will enjoy a walking a loop of about 2.5 miles with a small pit stop towards the end for refreshment before heading back to open works. On this walk, we will enjoy the alleyways, parks, and farms of the often underrated, but constantly surprising revitalized neighborhood of Station North Arts & Entertainment District. Locals and travelers alike will enjoy this very instagrammable look at a gem of a neighborhood. Depending on the size of the group and speed of walking the time for finishing might be slightly later. There are periodical trivia questions and easter eggs hidden along the way – be ready to get competitive and rewarded with candy!

Part of our Contemporary Women Filmmakers series. An inspired labor of love for zine-making teens Sandi Tan, Jasmine Ng and Sophie Siddique, Shirkers was a Singapore-made 1992 cult classic—or it would have been, had the 16mm footage not been stolen by their enigmatic American collaborator Georges Cardona, who disappeared. More than two decades later, Tan, now a novelist in L.A., returns to the country of her youth and to the memories of a man who both enabled and thwarted her dreams. Magically, too, she returns to the film itself, revived in a way she never could have imagined.

An Evening with Gary Thomas
8PM & 9:30PM
An die Musik
409 N Charles St, Baltimore
Saxophonist and flutist Gary Thomas established himself in the 1980s as one of the most jarring soloists of his generation, especially against somewhat chaotic backdrops such as the electronic-tinged accompaniment of guitar, keyboards, bass and drums on Seventh Quadrant(1987) and Code Violations (1988). In addition to 11 recording dates as a leader, his work on more than 80 recordings as a featured sideman reflects his status as one of the most coveted saxophonists on the jazz scene today. Commissioned by Baltimore Magazine to compose and record a suite of music representing a collection of more than fifty works of art featured in the September 2005 issue. The most recent highlights of Thomas’ activities would include his tenure with the British guitarist John McLaughlin from 1997 to 1999, and he has been a member of the Herbie Hancock Quartet since 2002.

“Wizard People, Dear Reader” – FREE Film Screening!
6PM – 8:45PM
Ottobar
2549 N Howard St, Baltimore
For the uninitiated: Wizard People, Dear Reader was released by Arkansas comedian, musician, animator, and comic artist Brad Neely in 2004. It’s ostensibly a DVD commentary of the first Harry Potter film. In his nasally way, Neely talks/squawks in a drawl reminiscent of Gilbert Gottfried, addressing the “dear reader” directly with his wild misinterpretations of the Harry Potter mythos, the action onscreen, and its intent. His tangents are absurdist, surreal, and darkly hilarious—by the end you are left with a bizarro Harry Potter universe that irrevocably alters how you think of Harry, “Ronny The Bear,” and “Haggar The Horrible.” If you’re not familiar with Neely’s work, hop online and search for CreasedComics, Baby Cakes, and The Professor Brothers (“Prisoner Christmas” is our hot tip.) Wizard People is straight from the depths of his sublime imagination. Wizard People, Dear Reader is a cultural artifact but, like all cult masterpieces, you either get it, or you don’t. As one fan has simply said: “It’s amazing. It’s Harry Potter as narrated by a guy only partly aware of the books.”

Folkal Point Series: Amy Rigby and Ms. Sara
7:30PM – 10:30PM
An die Musik
409 N Charles St, Baltimore
Amy Rigby was dubbed “one of America’s greatest songwriters” by Nashville Scene. The Old Guys has received ecstatic reviews in the US and UK. NPR/Fresh Air, Magnet magazine, Jersey Beat and Robert Christgau in Noisey/VICE have all called it one of the best albums of 2018. From the New Yorker (Feb 2019): Raucous reflection is still Rigby’s strong suit, but, on a song like “From Philip Roth to R Zimmerman,” in which she seems to side with the late author over the Nobel-laureate musician, she’s clearly on to some new priorities.

Inner Mongolian Masters: Anda Union
4:30PM – 6:30PM
B’nai Israel Synagogue
27 Lloyd St, Baltimore
As with all nomads the Mongols have an oral culture, passed on generation to generation in stories, music and songs and thus Anda Union sing their history. The band’s thoroughly addictive combination of Mongolian musical styles is a reflection of their roots. Formed in 2000, Anda Union have influenced a generation of young Mongolians in Inner Mongolia as traditional music flourishes in the capital. Hailing from differing ethnic nomadic cultures, the ten strong band unite tribal and music traditions from all over Inner Mongolia. They do so by bringing a wide range of musical instruments and vocal styles together in a fusion that Genghis Khan himself would have been proud of.

What does it mean to be just one body moving in humanity’s great crowd? This is a movement piece. Prepare to be moved. Guests of all levels of physical ability are invited to join our ensemble of thirty movers in the vast space of Baltimore’s War Memorial for Submersive Productions largest-scale work to date. As you choose your own degree of involvement, the invitation to join the rabble will remain open.

It’s everything you’ve come to expect from one of TV’s longest running franchises: A cynical detective quipping over a corpse, people who don’t let police interviews stop their repetitive activities, witnesses with staggeringly detailed memories; and it is all improvised. We take you from the discovery of the body through the investigation, trial, and all the way to wrapping things up with a few jaded comments from the D.A. over a shared Scotch. Baltimore Improv Group offers free comedy shows every night of the week. But please reserve so we know you’re coming.
Enjoy!
