Sowebo Arts and Music Festival 2011
I went to the South West Baltimore (Sowebo) Arts and Music Festival for the first time yesterday and I must say that it far exceeded my expectations. I truly love Sowebo, I think it has a lot of potential and despite some undesirable aspects of the neighborhood, the majority of the people there are great. The city is full of culture, enrichment, and good people.
I have spent a lot of time in the neighborhood in the past, and have heard nothing but wonderful thing about the festival but have not had a chance to go until this year.
I am so glad that I went because it was truly a very enjoyable time and I cannot wait to go back next year!
The music was outstanding! All sorts of various bands from every different genre performed and rocked the whole neighborhood.
The art work was unique, inspiring, offensive, and everything else that good art should be.
And the food… out of this world. I will put some more picture on here later on in the day, but I must say if you live anywhere near baltimore. There is only one place you should be next memorial day weekend - At Sowebo Fest.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

“This way, the interface does not get in the way.”
Ilya Birman on his blog talks about interfaces that unnecessarily slow people down, in a series of two posts. In the first one, titled “Let me click,” Birman shows a few places that force the user to go through a roundabout series of clicks, instead of tak...
via Unsung August 24, 2026Anger, Anxiety and Agency
Sean Goedecke wrote a post arguing that you should never be angry at work — a post with which I strongly agree. Anger can be a useful signal, but being angry at work rarely improves the situation. More often, it makes life worse for the people around you,...
