the night is my friend. i know it well, but at times it is my nemesis. i have driven so much on…read morethis big road that it feels like an old girlfriend that you are too lazy to dump. it's been a long day. what was it? 18 hours? something like that. the red and white car lights dance like fireflies. the somnolent enchantress does her dance. i snap my head back from the nod. i roll down the window even if it is winter. the dance continues. should i pull over at the rest stop? nothing seems to be working. then a song plays on the radio. a song that has not been heard in years. Dumb Things. that old Paul Kelly and the Messengers song. the synapses fire. the fingers tap. the volume increases. then My Morning Jacket comes over the airwaves. the road continues but it is no longer dark. New Pornographers play. some old Frank Zappa. Bright Eyes. Robert Plant & Allison Krauss. Sly and the Family Stone. the Nighthawks. the Arctic Monkeys. it's only when the static sets in that i realize that i have made it home. i pull up in front of my house and turn off the ignition. WTMD probably saved my life tonight. thank goodness there wasn't a Towson basketball game that night. i might still be on I-95.

WTMD is the great alternative radio station in town. They're likely to play anything they want at…read moreany given moment. I find it a little unfortunate that means they play a LOT of standards from the 70s and 80s, but they do go right back to modern/eclectic selections. They really shine when they play blocks of music based on themes. Weasel's Wild Weekend is a great showcase for interesting music that you don't always hear, and they do blues shows and other off the beaten path segments. They do a lot of community concerts and events, including Baltimore-themed contests through phone apps (which usually only work with the most up to date OSs.) This is truly a home town station for music lovers.

3.7 mi•Pimlico Good Neighbors

I'll preface this by saying I have not been to a ton of EDM events outside of the DMV -- mainly…read moreEcho Stage on occasion, Project GLOW, and Moonrise twice (once in 2019 and this year 2022). I've been lucky and gone 2 years where it did not get overshadowed by rain storms. That seems to have been a problem for moonrise most years and I've heard it is a muddy mess. For me, just a little dust on my shoes. Now to the main points of the review: PROs: - The lineups are VERY strong (regardless of year) - It is relatively inexpensive (starting only $130 for the 2-day GA pass) - Insomniac just got the rights to host this festival, so the overall production quality of stages has gone up several notches. They have improved the overall organization and layout from previous years too. - New stages sound quality, visuals, and even pyrotechnics have been improved from previous years - I particularly liked that then festival opened in the afternoon at 1pm and ended around 11pm -- giving me more time to get there, pregame in the lot, and get home before its too late - Good spots and cool props for memorable pictures - The racetrack is enclosed from the surrounding area and maintains the festival atmosphere CONs: - The location in Pimlico Baltimore is very rough, and gives a general sense of unsafety due to the condition of the town. Once you're inside you can mostly forget about it, but it definitely leaves a bad taste in your mouth on the way in. - The festival is on a race track and not a huge one, some of the stages bleed sound over into the others unless you get close enough (which can be difficult when the crowds are big). It's not THAT bad but it happens. - The race track is quite dusty, and if it rains, get ready for mud. EVERYWHERE - The don jons are pretty gross, and the water/paper towels ran out pretty quick. Considering how many people are using them, it's really not as bad as other places I've been. - Insomniac decided to make the solar tent (which is generally for harder style music) more enclosed than previous years, this made it pretty unbearably hot unless you were going shirtless. - You cannot leave to your car during the middle of the festival, everything you need must be brought with you in a bag and those items will be limited - The gate security is hit or miss. Some will barely check you while others will pat you down ferociously. If they do, they will confiscate a lot of items especially if you plan to bring substances. Some suggestions: - Go with a group and split VIP parking, the lot is much less crowded and easier to get in/out of. - Check the weather, and bring some way to cool yourself (like a fan) - Food/Drinks are very expensive, eat well and pregame before going in - I can't speak for other parts of the country, but Pimlico Baltimore is a very rough area -- be on high alert for your possessions. My phone disappeared from my pocket during a moshpit (solar tent) and was subsequently stolen by someone. I can't say if I was pickpocketed or not, but it was turned off after the festival ended for the night and was last seen on GPS down the street from the race track. It is very likely that the local security staff found it and kept it for themselves to make a quick buck. Given all this, and even my phone being stolen, I still had a great time with my friends and walked away with a positive experience at moonrise. Would recommend to try at least once!

I've been going to Moonrise as VIP/Artists Guest for several years. I definitely noticed a change…read morethis year since Pasquale Rotella acquired a majority stake in Moonrise last year. Attendance was mediocre this year and they only had three stages instead of four but added the fourth stage last minute to showcase locals and up and coming artists. I thought this was cool and it gives emerging artists a chance to gain traction - check out Dochat. PLUR seemed to be on its way out here. I saw several rowdy attendees being rude and disrespectful to others. Festival life is not about that. Bring back the PLUR! Security was visible, which I appreciated. The trash though. OMG, pick up after yourselves (PLUR??)...the trash was all over the ground and exploding out of the trash cans. The butts were on point, as usual. So many butts. Tiny butts, big butts, soft butts, hard butts, dimply butts. Kudos to the girls with exaggerated self-confidence. You go, girls! GRiZ was fire. As usual. Favorite totem? BOOF! Heck, yeah!
