Three Hot Weekend Tips
1. Show Me What You Got MC Battle at Sonar tomorrow
Dirt Platoon, Agent Orange A-Class and other MCs are going head to head for a grand prize of $1,000 and an opening spot for a national headliner. $8.
2. Shocked and Amazed at the Lo-Fi Social Club
All kinds of craziness (sword swallowing, fire breathing, etc.) is coming to the Lo-Fi tomorrow. Husband and wife team "Thrill Kill" Jill Fleet and Tyler "Fyre" (pictured) are among the performers in the event. $10.
3. MT6 Fest III at the Sidebar Tavern
This mini-festival, which starts at 2:30 p.m., has pretty sweet lineup: Mongolodian Glow, Heroin UK, Eric Crapton, Down With Gender and more.

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
