Girls, do you think you could do a better job than some of the Ravens Cheerleaders? Guys, do you have any input on the eye-candy? Let you voice be heard at the Sheraton Baltimore City Center Hotel on March 26th, where for the first time ever a live audience will decide the finalists for the Baltimore Ravens 2011 Cheerleader lineup. Hopefuls from all over will compete in both a dance round and a skill round before being graded by a panel of celebrity judges. After they receive their points from the celebs, it will be the audience’s job to decide who should be jumping around the sidelines of M & T Bank Stadium.

We all know that after our time at Loyola comes the real world. And sometimes, the real world isn’t easy. On March 24 the Young Executives for Success (Y.E.S!) will be hosting their Brackets & Beer event down in the harbor at the delicious Tir Na Nog in order to support Dress for Success Philadelphia!. DFSP! is a nonprofit organization that works to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing career development tips, professional attire, and networking opportunities for those looking to make a difference in their lives. So come on down and enjoy some refreshments, trivia games, and beer tastings for a good cause.

Happy St. Patty’s Day! In celebration, we have a few newcomers to the list. Say hello to a new band called The Head and the Heart. Also, we couldn’t have left the new Dodos CD off the list, could we?

Benn Jordan, as communicated over his last three albums especially, is a bit of an eccentric, an extremist of the electronic genre as I know it. Look at his past few albums. Kirlian Selections wasn’t just diverse, it was a breathtaking medley of styles and influences. Soundtrack To A Vacant Life wasn’t merely interesting, it was enthralling, captivating; and Arboreal wasn’t simply active, it was teeming with energy. Excuse the obvious hyperbole, but The Flashbulb, Jordan’s artistic moniker, calls for it.

A great way to check out some of Baltimore’s thriving culture is to stop by the Cabaret at Germano’s Trattoria. Since May of 2008 Germano’s has hosted countless local acts, as well as performers from all over, interested in adding to the flavor of Charm City. Theater, jazz, classical, opera…the Cabaret has it all. The greatest aspect; however, is the informal, yet intimate environment created by the performers. Guests can enjoy amazing Tuscan food before or during the performance, and can grab a drink with the performers after the show.

Who do you pick? Well, coming here to the Sports Witch Doctor, aka Anthony “Sports Director” Santiago, will help you put together a bracket that will truly get you some bragging rights with your friends. Now, I understand, you will look at this bracket and it will scare you. You might even feel sick. But there is one thing you need to understand this year. The competition is brutal and picking your upsets will not be easy as years before. Will there be any? Of course. But will there be a lot? Probably not. That is why you are here and I will guide you through the tumultuous and utter madness we call the NCAA Tournament.
