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

Browse through the event's history (apparently it's shrouded in controversy), look for upcoming events, read up on the competing teams, or click through to the Team USA website and bask in the glow of the world's new facial hair super power. And there's no need to walk away empty handed, the WBMC has an online store. After looking at all those waxe...
