depends. for folks in the DC area, probably frederick (about an hour up 270). for b'morites, aberdeen is the way to go. for you in annapolis, looks like aberdeen is a tad better (but not by much).

biggest problem is that these two shows are on tuesday and wednesday, so you'll have to deal with rush-hour traffic. actually, if you want to make it in time for the show you're probably going to have to not deal with rush-hour and leave before it hits. neither 270 nor 95 are nice to deal with between 5:00 and 7:00…
miss pretentious is from annapolis? hey, i have been hanging there a lot lately….i joined rams head's beer club and since then cant stay away from the joint. 59 more to drink!
oh yeah. i do live/work in annapolis. AND i'm a member of the beer club too. we should hang out and have a beer.
So is he playing at Floristree Space one day and at Wham City the next? Quite a few other acts I'd like to see at floristree that weekend as well.

Something tells me it's an all day thing. On Dan Deacon's website it lists "12 pm" while the rest of the his tour dates are in the evening.

SATURDAY 07/22 12pm
Wham City: 316 E Oliver
Baltimore, MD
at WHARTSCAPE FESTIVAL
All Day Tons of Bands Killer Best
$5, All Ages/No Jerks

7/22 is a Sunday, though! I hope it he is truly playing on 7/21 so I can see all 3 bands!

Isn't Whartscape just an evening thing?
I'm not sure. He is only playing a 7/21 date per his myspace and 7/22 per his official site. Are shows held at Wham City? Or is it a record label?
I thought it was some sort of performance/art space.

Your original whartscape post listed Floristree as the venue whose address is 405 W. Franklin St. 6th fl
316 E Oliver is around the corner from the Copy Cat building and Floristree looks like it is the old Penthouse
I wonder if shows are going on at both.
TUE JULY 17- THE BESNARD LAKES, DIRTY ON PURPOSE $10 Black Cat backstage 9:00
That's shaping up to be a hell of a week.

I don't believe that one has to see every last show by every last band they're interested in. Of course people who have an unhealhy concert addiction probably don't understand that concept. And when I'm picking and choosing which shows I'm going to see, the price is a major factor. The fact that I'm fiscally conservative (and middle aged, and married to someone who can pull her weight financially) ends up helping me not have to live from paycheck to paycheck.
have you ever thought that just because someone doesnt live like you do, doesnt mean they have unhealthy addictions and need reality checks?
are you THAT close minded and egotistical? or is this just another one of yout self-loathing tactics to attack people who live the life you only wish you could still live? :)

and btw - i do watch the prices of shows. granted free is better, but i don't complain over $15 shows. Once shows start hitting the $25 price I do question which bands I *have* to see vs just wanting to see. ie Morrissey, Crowded House and The Happy Mondays - I wouldnt miss for the world. Then again, I live my life as I want, am not living paycheck to paycheck and live in f'ing NYC! Then again, I'd rather support artists and throw my money that way vs other things, that some people find more important.
I think we're on the same page. Never mind Sonick. He's just trying to be divisive!

aw, c'mon dude, i'm just "breakin' your balls" as those charming gents on "the sopranos" would say. anyone who goes to see that show now, it's all about the nostalgia factor, which is somewhat understandable, and a pretty universal feeling. why anyone would like those bands in the first place, back in the '90s, that's the real mystery.
Maybe it's because they don't have the time or interest to figure out the difference between Panda Bear or Grizzly Bear, Wolf Parade of Wolf Mother, or any of the other myriad of zoo animals masquarading as music. They spent all their energy figuring out the difference between the Black Crowes, Counting Crows, and Sheryl Crow. Yet they still want to be entertained.
