Random "News" Round-Up

1. Kolper's gets a review in the Sun. Whether Elizabeth Large is pro- and anti- old Fraizer's is still unclear.

2. NHBA: 5 Wacky Women in the Sun
Well, they're wacky.

3. Baltimore Snacker visits R2V, and Snacker likes it.
(Hawker likes Snacker, FYI.)
The comments are the goldmine, however. Brace yourself: Hampden suffers from a serious case of attitude! A waitress is complimented for not being a hipster! A new word is coined: Hampden + hipster = "Hampster!"

Snacker also posted a top ten list (of best posts from the last year.) On that list, Snacker included reviews of the mysterious Grill Art, Cafe Hon and Hon Fest.

4. Courtesy of The Shank, HampdenFest is big enough now to have inspired an alternative festival. Here are the details:
(The Shank has links to some of the band's MySpace pages.)

THE BUNNY HILLTOP FESTIVAL
Featuring: THE COURTESY LINE, REINVENTING THE SQUARE, THE REPTILE ALWAYS WINS, T-SHIRT! T-SHIRT!, JEAN LOUISE, THE BAD NAMES, MAGICK BULLET THEORY
3PM-9PM. 1332 Dellwood Ave. Hampden, Baltimore.
Free if you're in a bunny costume, 25 cents if not.

5. Marginal Foodie graphs The Wine Source.

6. We're Number 8! We're Number 8!

7. HampdenFest is this weekend, but if you wake up Sunday and think, "Damn. I didn't spend enough money," go here. Form, Double Dutch and Shine will be participating in this boutique sale in Timonium. There will deep discounts on all merchandise, and all proceeds benefit Junior League programs. The Junior League is, however, leaving its Hampden home for new digs near Belvedere Square.

8. Yesterday, a tourist came all the way from Tokyo to visit Atomic Books. Benn & Rachel report that this is not an uncommon occurrence.

9. Just the facts on the Northern District's new top cop.

10. HampdenFest is Saturday!

Speaking of Hampden food, is it true that Ma Petite Shoe is now in possession of the prized Vosges Bacon Bars?
