This past Friday, my fiancé Jules and I had some friends over to taste some homemade berry themed dishes that we could make again for Thanksgiving. The event was put on by WineTwits (a Twitter account that I follow) and Driscoll, who graciously supplied us with a very cool supply pack for the event. We…

Jetlag what?
Paris, France. The name invokes so many feelings and thoughts. Arguably most of the most popular cities in Europe (if not one of the most well-known), Paris to me evicts scenes of coffee shops and bread stores with some national monuments mixed in. Paris would be our first stop on our tour of WWII battlefields…

BlackRapid RS Sport Review!
A couple of weeks ago I received an RS Sport strap from BlackRapid for our upcoming Fall Photowalk. I thought it was the responsible thing to do (wink wink) to test it myself beforehand in Europe before we had the photowalk. The photowalk cofounder, Zach, is a huge fan of their straps and after testing…

30 years and a giant metal “ManWomen”
This past weekend Jules and I rounded up some friends and headed uptown to Artscape. This year of Artscape marked its 30th anniversary of the alternative art festival and this year did not disappoint. Held luckily a week before a serious heat wave on the east coast, Artscape usually suffers from high temperatures while you…

“Where was I when the Rockets came to life…”* (Become a Pilot Day 2011)
Around the time that Jules and I attended the Air Show at Andrews AFB, I saw a tweet to enter a contest sponsored by the Smithsonian to be a VIP attendee for a “Pilot Day” in late June. I entered all my information in the form and submitted my entry not thinking much of it.…

I’m featured on Sisarina!
Today, my blog post for Sisarina “33 Twitter Tips to live by” went live. This tips I’ve picked up/learned/experienced throughout the last few years since I joined Twitter in 2008. I honestly expected more dissension on the article that I’ve seen so far, but so far the overall review has been positive on the post…

Take Back Our Yard game with the Baltimore Buzz Brigade (and Jules)!

Jules and I visit the Maryland Science Center
Yesterday Jules and I decided to check out the Maryland Science Center in the Inner Harbor. The weather wasn’t very good which made it a perfect day to visit a museum. The last (and only) time I was in the Science Center was for the TOTEM media day back in March. Jules had never got…

Similar the one I attended in April, these mixers provide a networking opportunity with fellow Visit Baltimore members and staff. The B3 crew is also invited to these great events where we can experience a…

Sherwood Gardens was created in 1920 by John Sherwood, who was a conservationist and flower fan. Located within the Baltimore City Limits, Sherwood Gardens was a quick drive from our house in Federal Hill and…

Cirque De Soleil’s TOTEM review
I take my seat and the lights go down. The tent seems bigger on the inside that I expected. Suddenly music booms. A spotlight illuminates a man descending slowly on a wire in a silver glitter suit (a raindrop perhaps?) towards a massive turtle shell in the center of the tent. Suddenly, the turtle shell…

Services had an impressive spread of sample food choices in the Camden Club at Camden Yards. Various members of the press and local news…
