Oh Baltimore!
Baltimore and I have always had an interesting relationship. My father grew up in the Lutherville area and my grandparents stayed even after my father and his brothers grew up and graduated. The first memory I have of Baltimore is of a hot afternoon in the early 1990’s when we came up to watch a…

How I found an untapped market by accident (and made some friends in the process)
A couple of months ago, after a few conversations with my friend Zach Egolf, I was very close to a new concept that I hadn’t tried yet. Over the last 6 months as my skills and questions grew I would often ask Zach for advice or ideas. He had been behind a Canon DSLR longer than…

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…

Food Tasting at Camden Yards
Last week I was invited (as part of Baltimore’s Buzz Brigade) to sample some of the new fair that will be hitting Camden Yards this year. The new vendor Delaware North Cos. Services had an impressive spread of sample food choices in the Camden Club at Camden Yards. Various members of the press and local news…

Cirque Du Soleil TOTEM Media Day
Today I was lucky enough to attend the Media Day for Cirque Du Soleil TOTEM which is opening April 7th in Baltimore. Held in the Maryland Science Center over the lunch hour (ok, extended lunch hour), my fellow Baltimore Buzz Brigadiers and I got to meet a couple of members of the cast and take…

Baltimore Buzz Brigade
Recently I was chosen (along with 19 other Baltimoreans) to represent Baltimore on various social media outlets. The Baltimore Buzz Brigade is in its 2nd year of operation spreading the good word on why to visit Baltimore (like you really needed a reason to visit in the first place- it’s awesome here). One great part…
