For your to-do list

You may not know that we have a nice little gem of arts & entertainment right down Harford Road. The Hamilton Arts Collective (HAC), at the corner of Harford and Hamilton Avenue, is bustling with activity most nights of the week. Who knew?! Well, now you do!

A sampling of their offerings includes:

• Classes and performances by the Baltimore Improv Group, (that's them in the photo, and they are hysterical, by the way)
• All kinds of talent from the hole in the wall cabaret
• CD release parties like the one on November 10 for Davey G and the Keyboard
• Foreign movie night
• Stand up comedy

We're in no way associated with the HAC, but I think it's pretty cool to support this in our own backyard. Most of the events are either free or minimal cover charge. So next time you're looking for something to do , but don't want to deal with the hassles of Fells Point, Canton, or Hampden, check out the calendar at the HAC. You might be surprised!
