Boh’s & O’s, Mt. Vernon Stable & Saloon, 2 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Spring break: bikinis, tans, college students across the country getting as drunk as possible. Perhaps spring break, now more than ever, is a time when one hears, “I wanna get wasted” or “I can’t wait to black out” with Snapchats, Instagram stories and Facebook photos proudly displaying copious amounts of alcohol.
I will begin this article by confessing that I have never been to New Orleans.
Barista vs. Bartender, Ceremony Coffee Roasters, 6:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
My family has never put much stock in planning out trips. We almost always arrive at our destination barely in time to eat dinner, despite agreeing the night before to arrive at lunchtime. We also like relaxing, so we never create full daily agendas. We just wake up and see where the days take us.
St. Patrick’s Day has to be in my top three technically religious holidays, potentially top two if it’s February and I’m single.
HUMBUG: The Great P.T. Barnum Seance, The Peale Center, 8 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
As a rule, I try not to encourage general audiences to hang out with a bunch of dead bodies.
“He’s the smartest person I’ve ever met.” “He’s very snarky and sarcastic.” “He’s got a dark sense of humor, pretty pessimistic with his jokes — just a warning. But great guy!”
Water in a Broken Glass, The Senator Theatre, 7 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Going into my last semester at Hopkins, I’d like to think that I have the whole “dealing with visiting family members” issue down pat.
I’ll confess: My idea of a good time usually involves running around campus in search of a place to finish a paper I was supposed to turn in a day ago when all the cubicles on B-level are inevitably full.
Thursday
I am a firm believer in the idea that a city is only as good as its weakest bar, and I’ve yet to find that bar in Baltimore.
Last Friday was Chinese New Year, but I celebrated it on Saturday since I had an essay due on Friday night. I don’t really know how lunar calendars work, but the real meaning behind Chinese New Year isn’t about the moon or even about getting together with family and friends.
Thursday
At the risk of sounding too much like a knock off Ron Swanson, I am sincerely shocked that there are people out there who wouldn’t rather be eating breakfast foods.
Like the good millennial I am, I prioritize experiences over commodities, and as a cinephile I deeply value the experience of filmgoing. One of my favorite theaters is the Parkway in Station North.
Thursday Writing Circle, The Baltimore Science Fiction Society, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Head over to Highlandtown to participate in this bimonthly writer’s circle. Critique the work of others, or bring a six to eight page piece of your own. Many stories workshopped in the circle have gone on to be published. Free. Friday I Heart City Life Happy Hour, Oliver Brewing Company, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. Kick off your weekend by stopping by this reoccurring happy hour in northeast Baltimore. The first 100 guests to register will receive a pint class designed by Baltimore’s very own Annie Howe. Live entertainment provided by The Soul Magnets. $10 donation. Constellations & Crossroads, Arena Players, Inc., 8 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Come see the opening night of two back-to-back, musical performances: Determination of Azimuth, dedicated to the black female NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and The Battle of Blue Apple Crossing, a fictionalized account of legendary guitarist Robert Johnson. Doors open at 7:30. $20. Saturday Elsa Fitzgerald: The Art of Lace, Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. Stacy Stube, one of the Bromo Tower’s resident artists, was inspired by the traditional Kebaya dress on the island of Bali to create an exhibit that showcases this historic fashion in detailed dresses. Light refreshments will be served. Free. When ___ Met ___ , Baltimore Improv Group, 8 p.m. – 9 p.m. Celebrate Valentine’s Day early with this “improvised romantic comedy.” The show is set in the style of classic Hollywood rom-coms, but the two stars will be audience volunteers. $5. Sunday 4th Annual Chili Cook Off, Barcocina, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. Not only do you get to sample chili from multiple chefs, but also enjoy discounted beer and cocktail specials to warm you up during this cold February. $5.
As February is roaring into action with the first delayed opening of the year and consistently near-hurricane strength wind, Hopkins students everywhere are wondering how to beat the chill of another Baltimore winter.
