Michael’s Pub has been in business for 21 years. Restaurants and bars being some of the most difficult businesses to keep in business, this is an impressive feat. That it isn’t a dive after that long is ever more impressive. The pub is technically in the King’s Contrivance shopping plaza. King’s Contrivance is a pretty [...]

Over the weekend I was described as “a binge drinking, promiscuous enabler.” Even there were no ugly people present, it reminded me of the t-shirt design to the right. The comment was made in good fun and I’m still chuckling about it a few days later. Does that mean that I enable promiscuity? Or are [...]

Spent the better part of last night at Holy Frijoles up in Hampden at the Octovember Baltimore Blogger Happy Hour. It was nice to meet people whom I’ve been reading for over a year. There were a few people that I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself to. That’s my only regret, which isn’t [...]

The Dog Pub — formerly the Thirsty Dog — just opened a second location in Columbia in September. Just around the traffic circle from Nottingham’s, The Dog Pub is open from 11am-2am daily. If a trip to Federal Hill isn’t in the cards or if you’re in one of the surrounding business parks and need [...]

I attended a business meeting at Dave and Buster’s yesterday. They have decent buffet food and private facilities large enough to do it, but there was one complaint that I heard repeatedly. The soda was flat. I heard this from several people after several trips to the drink station, where you’d think they’d be refilling [...]

If you’ve never been to Seacrets in Ocean City, know the following. It is big. Three bars in the concert hall alone. Two outside. At least one more by the small stage. That doesn’t count the restaurant. Instead of wood, concrete, vinyl or stone floor in the concert hall, they’ve got diamond plate. They’ve got [...]

If you call a hotel to reserve a block of rooms and advertise that your guests are going to be loud and obnoxious, don’t feign surprise or become angry when hotel management comes directly to the room where the party is at. When you book a room as part of such a block, hotel management [...]

Continuing the bi-weekly tradition, I saw Resident Evil: Extinction on Friday night at Muvico with friends. The third installment is a bit edgier than the first two with more zombies and gore but less gun play, but with boilerplate suspenseful thrills and shocks that feel… off. Milla Jovovich is still as amazingly acrobatic and attractive [...]

A close friend and I have always talked about opening a bar. We’ve got a name picked out and everything. I think everyone dreams about running their own place at least once, having conversations that start with the phrase “if I owned the bar…” and ending with some absurdly crazy thing they’d like to have.

We throw a pretty mean party. Amidst beer pong and flip cup, four people got haircuts on the deck just before midnight. We’re so extreme. They didn’t look too bad this morning either. We ran out of brew around one and twenty of us ended up walking to another house (because the kegerator there was [...]

This weekend was quite full and very enjoyable. Past tense, because I intend to spend another couple hours in my office today. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s today and the comforts of central air are just too tempting. That and I feel like I’ve done enough this weekend to warrant just laying about, [...]

I’m going to see Fools & Horses at Nottingham’s (Flash) on Friday night. They’re playing at O’Brien’s on Saturday night but I’m just not feeling DTA this weekend. Columbia is closer to home anyways. Nottingham’s isn’t my favorite and this isn’t my weekend to party but I still think I deserve to get out and [...]

I predict that Emma Watson — who plays Hermione in the motion picture adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s bestselling series — will be in and out of rehab before the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is completed.
Think I’m wrong? Take a look at Google Images.
I fear that she’ll follow in the footsteps of [...]

If you query “retarded wheelchair semi“, you find this jewel. A man was taken for 50mph ride when his wheelchair somehow got lodged in the front grille of a semi parked at a gas station. Neither the police nor the driver of the semi believed the initial reports from passing motorists that there was indeed [...]
