Museum Mondays: 17th Annual Kinetic Sculpture Race
April 27th, 2015 by WLOY Staff
What: 17th Annual Kinetic Sculpture Race
Where: American Visionary Art Museum
When: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015// All day (Race kicks off at 10:00 am)
The American Visionary Art Museum is holding its 17th Annual Kinetic Sculpture Race this Saturday, May 2nd. If you haven’t been to the Kinetic Sculpture Race before, don’t know what a Kinetic Sculpture is, or maybe don’t even know what kinetic means, now is your chance to get in on the action and find out! These creative, functional, human-run sculptures are beautifully made to conquer 15 miles of rocky roads, massive mud-pits, the depths of “quick” sand, and treacherous water crossings! Some sculptures are small, simple, and questionably safe, while others can be over 50-feet long, aesthetically phenomenal, and build by lunatic engineers who are hungry for victory in their beautiful moving sculptures. All of the sculptures are 100% human-built and human-powered works of art. Get a great view of the race from various places around the city; to name just a few: Atop Federal Hill, the Korean War Memorial Park in Canton, and Patterson Park. No matter where you are Baltimore, you won’t want to miss this crazy, kooky, Kinetic Sculpture Race. Find out more about the race and the American Visionary Art Museum here!

Hymn For Her Interview
April 25th, 2015 by The Professor
While Hymn For Her were in Frederick for a show at the always fun Cafe Nola, and on tour for their latest release Lucy & Wayne’s Smokin’ Flames, Lucy and Wayne (and Diver) invited the Professor into their van for an interview… We chatted about touring as a family, cigar box guitars, kickstarter, hot sauce and more. Lucy had just received a cool cigar box guitar as a gift from Harry of CrocBite Guitars (full disclosure: it was so cool we got Harry to make one for WLOY) and their daughter Diver was trying to chill in the back of the van, only to be coaxed into saying hi at the end. They put on a fantastic show and we were super-excited to get them to come back to town for Honfest. Catch them wherever you can!

Sports Saturdays: How Amazin’ Are The Mets?
April 25th, 2015 by WLOY Staff
Meet the Mets!
Don’t look now, but the New York Mets seem to be back in their “Amazin'” form for the first time in ages.
As the Mets prepare to start the Subway Series against their Bronx rivals, the New York Yankees, they find themselves at the top of the MLB with a 13-3 record, while also riding the momentum of an 11-game win streak.
They’re finally in a position to take New York and all of the major leagues by storm, but just how Amazin’ are these Mets?
Just going by the numbers, you have to be impressed with this team. Their 11-game win streak is the longest they’ve been on since 1986, when they also started 2-3 before the streak started.
They also accomplished these win totals at the start of the season with a win streak in 1969.
The Mets won the World Series both of those years. Read the rest of this entry »

Food Fridays: The Lemon Stick
April 24th, 2015 by WLOY Staff
What: The Lemon Stick
Where: Mt. Vernon Park Baltimore, MD
When: May 1st- May 2nd// 11:00 am- 8:00 pm
Spring has finally arrived here in Baltimore, and that means lemon-stick season has, too! A Baltimore tradition since its first appearance in Charm City in 1911, the lemon stick makes its annual debut at the Mount Vernon FlowerMart. The ingredients are quite simple, really. All you need is a peppermint stick and a lemon. As you suck on the peppermint stick, you’ll taste the perfect combination of sweet and sour. Of course, you could make your own lemon stick on any given day, but there’s something about kicking off the season with a lemon stick from the FlowerMart that makes Spring in Baltimore that much sweeter! You know what they say, “When life give you lemons,” grab a peppermint stick and treat yourself to a taste of Charm City! Learn more about the lemon stick here!

Women’s Lax Patriot League Semifinals
April 23rd, 2015 by WLOY Staff
By Brendan Pierce
To describe the Loyola women’s lacrosse season in Patriot League play in one word, it would be: dominant.
The Hounds have been a perfect 8-0 for the second consecutive year in conference play. After squeaking by Virginia in overtime, the Greyhounds have rallied for eleven consecutive wins.
An experienced group leads the team. Senior Annie Thomas, redshirt senior Taryn VanThof, and junior Maddy Lesher won the Patriot League honors for offensive, midfield, and defensive player of the year respectively. All three of these ladies, plus Hannah Schmitt made the All-Patriot League First Team.
Senior Kara Burke, junior Molly Wolf, and sophomore Bailey Mathis also took home all conference honors as they were named to the Second Team All-Patriot League.
However, all of the hardware goes out the door come Friday at 5:00 p.m at Ridley Athletic Complex when the regular season champs take on the Boston Terriers. Read the rest of this entry »

Theatre Thursdays: CityLit Project
April 23rd, 2015 by WLOY Staff
What: Baltimore’s CityLit Project
Where: 400 Cathedral St. Baltimore, MD 21201
When: May 2nd, 2015// 10:00 am- 5:00 pm
It all started over a few drinks and a simple question: “If you could do an anthology that covered an album, what would it be?” And then came the Baltimore CityLit Project, “Clash by Night“, a poetic anthology, developed by Gregg Wilhelm and Gerry LaFemina, based on English punk band, The Clash, and their renowned album, London Calling. The duo found a connection with the album that many other’s shared, and now they’ve formed a new form of art revolving around it! Many poets came together to create poems that are inspired by the album, and on May 2nd, they want to share their work with you! If you have a similar love for poems, sonnets, The Clash, or even just getting out of the house for the day, you won’t want to pass up the CityLit Project! Learn more here!
