Unbelievably, yes. There's a beer/wine store literally 150 feet on the other side of the town line though, so it's not all bad. In fact, this Fall, the town gets to vote on allowing beer and wine to be served at sit-down establishments. It's kind of like Footloose only with a lot less dancing.

That's in Frederick, which is about another half-hour North. Never been. I am indeed an O's fan but have actually been to more Nats' games this year due to working in DC. Need to rectify that. As for Damascus, it's 80% cul-de-sacs, 10% small businesses and 10% cow manure. Also the only alcohol-free town in the state,…

There have been a shit ton of people on here who actually thought I was black, so no worries. I grew up in Gaithersburg but live a little deeper in Montgomery County now... sleepy little suburb called Damascus, out past Germantown. It sucks.

I think i just butchered the link. Try:

Alright, I've made preparations for the upcoming Apocalypse and reconfigured my Twitter page with my slave name as well. Let's see how this goes.

I've been a part of a couple mildly successful (and one extremely successful) satiric Twitter handles, so I do understand the joy that can be had— just never took off with it as someplace to share my genuine opinions/jokes in my own voice... mostly, I guess, because this place here filled that need just fine. Which I…

Just to make you all feel bad, I smoke a pack or three or cigarettes a year while binge-drinking with friends or at concerts and otherwise never have a desire to touch one. They sure look cool though.

Goddamnit, so you're telling me I'm actually going to have to start using the Twitter I made two years ago and immediately abandoned?

Yeah I just noticed that at the same venue I'm going to the show I posted, Cadence Weapon is opening for Japandroids in a few weeks (sold out). How the hell did that pairing come to be?

Upcoming concert DUAN: Seeing this guy open up for Michael Kiwanuka (who really deserves his own post) in DC on Saturday. Apparently he was "discovered" by Jack Johnson, which speaks more to Johnson's skills as a talent scout than an artist.

Rooting for sports based on the owners is a joyless exercise. Douchebags "win" titles every year but in a few years not a single person is going to think of Kevin Durant's first title and give even a second thought to Clay fucking Bennett.

lol @ that creepy graybeard saying the Heat have the best and classiest fans in the NBA, 45 seconds after they booed Alonzo Mourning giving props to the Celtics.

Thunder in six.

Thank you! Schlock, schlock, schlock. I don't give a fuck about your kids, Bill Simmons. Or should I say Mitch Albom.

Excellent.

Okay, I'm going off on a tangent here, but work with me. A couple other DS fellas and I had a semi-successful sports satire blog a couple years back, and following the gem of an ESPN interview in which JJ Redick read his poetry (memorable line: "I soar down the court like a condor"), I wrote the following:

I know I usually skew Indie, but I do enjoy me some hip-hop as well. Best Canadian MC since Snow:

How To Not Piss Off The World: The Abject Failure of The Flat Earth Society's First Annual Kegger

No I don't think he even knows it's on Deadspin; it's made the news in a lot of places actually. Through Facebook, I knew he was attending a wedding in Western PA over the weekend and then through his updates it seemed like it had gotten pretty wild. Saw a pic posted today of him tagged with the other members of the…
