A brief introduction
A couple posts ago, MS commenter Amy came up with a great idea: An introductory post for someone who has never read Midnight Sun before. Here goes ...
Hola, hi, hello, howdy!
My name's Sam Sessa, and if you're stumbling onto this blog for the very first time, count your lucky stars. You've just found your home for juicy Baltimore nightlife news, local music updates and totally random (but funny) stuff.
I started this blog waaaay back in mid-2007. I've been writing about music, nightlife and food for The Sun since the spring of 2005.
Before that, I was a starving college student, and before that, I was an Eastern Shore boy who farmed spinach, cut grass and docked boats. Fun!
As you can tell from the photo, my arms are crossed, which makes it hard to type. I'm actually giving myself a hug. I deserve it.
If you stick around long enough, you'll notice that I update Midnight Sun three or four times a day (less on the weekends, because, well, geez). So there's usually something new and at least semi-exciting to see.
Dig around a bit and you just might find something worth savoring. Also, be sure to make use of the search bar at the very bottom of the sidebar to the right.

Daniel,
Let's make a deal. We can switch jobs. You can take my job here at the Sun, and I will take yours at Planit. This is a good deal, and you should consider it. Here are some of the perks: Sam sits near an open section of desks, so it'll be easy to record everything he does, and then turn it in as your own (sorry, Sam). Parking is..well, parking isn't that awesome. But did I mention the free Unicorns? Yeah, we've got em'. All this could be yours, while I'll be working my butt off for a hip ad agency.
