The Coolest Kids in Town: a blog about Baltimore, DC, and the misadventures of two-city life.

Well, I think we can all agree that telling you beautiful people we're 'finally reliable bloggers' is a bad idea. It only brings misery and neglect. Kind of like that time Tex got all noble and left me at the mercy of Dead Rise and Full House reruns. Speaking of Full House, allow me to introduce you to Full House Reviewed . A labor of hate , Herculean in its magnitude, Full House Reviewed is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: every episode of Full House reviewed in order. By a man who hates the show. It's hysterical, it's eye-opening (seriously, how did I fail to notice that Michelle is a tiny little dictator ?), and it's well worth your time. The best news is that the fun doesn't have to stop once you're finished with the Full House recaps because Billy Superstar is still at it with Saved By the Bell Reviewed  - same great entertainment, half the hate. All that Full House talk got you jonesing for a Tanner family marathon? Tota...

Well, children, it's been a while. Tex has been very busy wearing black-rimmed glasses, frowning at powerpoint slides in mostly-white rooms, and buying lots of economy fare tickets to San Francisco (these activities are collectively and laughably known as "founding a startup") . But that's all settled now. The lawyers have gone home and Tex can dedicate her full attention to you, Cutty darling. So we're going to get pretty. First stop is London, to visit  Shirley's Wardrobe . An offensively beautiful collection of clothes you'd probably look ridiculous wearing ( what are those puffy coats even made of?!) , it's nonetheless aesthetic inspiration for the city-chic chick. If nothing else, it will remind you to keep your eyebrows plucked.        So with our wardrobe in order, we'll traipse along to visit Sarah, an old friend of Mummy's whose love letter to the world at large is  Note to Self . Beautiful clothes, beautiful no...

Our broken hearts go out to Kenya today.

Ladies. Gentlemen. Penguins of the Academy. I want to apologize to all of you. Coda and I have failed. We have. We’ve failed you. No, no, we have. We’ve failed you. Don’t interrupt! I said we’ve fucking failed you. Because we had forgotten, in our infinite wisdom, to introduce you to our newest round of Tex’s Truck Stop Drinks . Now I know what you’re thinking: No, we don’t want any more drinks! What do you mean, 'truck stop?’ Who are you guys? How did you get in my house? But those questions aren’t important. What is important? America. Freedom. Liberty. Respect. And the Ray Lewis Locker Room Reacharound . In honor of the fact that the Ravens will now ascend to their rightful place at the throne of the NFL (I don’t know how football works)…Fuck it. I’m done. I’m drunk. Coda is taking over now. The above was dictated and not read . Because some of us are a little bit wasted right now.  Coda here, I’ll be taking over now. As you may have been ab...

As you've undoubtedly gathered by this time, 2012 is an election year. And not even one of those total nonentity midterm election years.* It's a biggie. The Oval Office is up for grabs. In two days. So I've put together an extensive, if not comprehensive, post to help you navigate (and enjoy) the 2012 general elections. Be you decided in your choice or not . *Totally kidding. All elections are important. But...you know...if you have to choose...don't be apathetic now. Now Tex and I are admittedly a bit biased , but since we accept that not everyone has the same opinions we do, I'd like to direct your attention to I Side With . I Side With  lets you take a detailed political quiz and compares your stated views to those of the candidates running for President. Your results might end up surprising you ( though mine didn't ). And they might help you  undecided voters know your own minds. I Side With also allows you to compare candidates to one another and...

I don't know if you've heard, but football is back! Or, as my brother so eloquently put it: our long national nightmare is over. Which means things here in Charm City are about to get doubly exciting. Not only are the O's fighting for first place in the AL East  but the Ravens come back tomorrow to kick off another season of awesome . How best to celebrate this most wonderful time of the year? Online. Obviously. Start by refreshing your memory of all 32 NFL teams. Even if you don't need the refresher, you're sure to enjoy this rundown of Every NFL Fan in 90 Seconds . It's brilliant, funny, and spot on. I mean, I'm totally  the Ray Lewis of my lacrosse team. Then take a look at what NFL team logos would look like if they were honest . Thinking of taking in a game at a rival stadium? Don't buy your tickets blind, check out the view from almost any section in just about every stadium ever built on A View From My Seat.
