Baltimore Steampunk

The forest is emptying, the sea is draining, and the mountain has posted a vacancy notice. Everyone is heading to the same place. The Enchanted Creatures Homecoming Ball takes over the Lord Baltimore Hotel's Versailles Room on Saturday, July 18. Come hoofed, pawed, horned, tailed, or some legally ambiguous combination of the four. Dance all night among your fellow creatures, and if the mood strikes, add on a Haunted Hotel Ghost Tour, because nothing pairs with a ball gown like a restless spirit. Presented by Baltimore Faerie Faire. 🦌 Link in comments.

Some magicians want to fool you. Chuck Some magicians want to fool you. Chuck Thomas wants to know how your week went, and then fool you. Magic Among Friends brings the classics of the art together with storytelling, comedy, and the kind of audience interaction that turns strangers into accomplices. An evening built on laughter, wonder, and the occasional gasp from row three.

Saturday, July 11 at 8pm at Poe's Magic Theatre in the Lord Baltimore Hotel. 🎩

This Friday, The Magic Showcase returns to Poe's Magic Theatre at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. World-class magicians. An intimate theatre. The distinct possibility that reality takes the night off. You could stay home and watch television, but television has never once made you gasp out loud in a room full of strangers. 🎩 Link in comments.

You do not have to be a card mechanic in a hoodie to be a magician. You can be a storyteller. A world builder. A slightly unhinged poet with props. 🕯️📖✨

Vince Wilson’s newest article, “Opening the Circle for Younger Voices,” is a call to the goth kids, the theatre kids, the horror nerds, the D&D storytellers, the cosplayers who already understand that identity is performance. Theatrical magic is not about fooling people. It is about moving them.

New Year's Eve, the clocks misbehaved again. Worse than before.

Cogs whispered. Goggles gleamed. The Lord Baltimore Hotel leaned politely out of the present and hosted the Time Traveler’s Ball, sponsored proudly by Poe’s Magic Theatre, The Baltimore Faerie Faire, and the ever gracious Lord Baltimore Hotel itself, who once again proved it knows exactly how to hold a secret and pour a drink while doing so.

Reality thinned early. Fairies drifted through the ballroom like rumors made manifest. A vampire appeared, elegant and entirely unconcerned with the passage of time. A Time Traveling Ghostbuster crossed paths with several Doctors and their TARDIS companions, all of whom seemed to agree that this particular paradox was worth keeping. In my experience, when that many timelines nod at each other, you stop asking questions and dance.

The performances were nothing short of temporal vandalism. Vince Wilson, the Paranormalist, twisted story and coincidence until the air itself leaned in closer. Nina Amaya shimmered between centuries with effortless grace. Paulo Garbanzo arrived as if fired from a brass cannon aimed directly at delight. Frenchy and the Punk tore through eras with music that felt ancient, future, and right now all at once. Hot Todd Lincoln brought heat, humor, and the kind of presence that makes time pause out of respect. Cailin and Leigh Targaryen, unquestionably the finest hosts across any century worth visiting, guided the night with charm, wit, and absolute command of the chronometer. Tapitha Kix and Teresa turned the evening into a joyous, unruly celebration that refused to stay in one genre or decade.

The guests understood immediately. Corsets, coats, wings, gears, velvet, leather, light. Conversations that began in 1889 and ended sometime after midnight. Laughter echoing off marble, memory, and possibility. A crowd that showed up ready to believe, and then believed harder.

I found that nights like this do not end cleanly. They cling. They follow you home. You find them later in a scuffed boot, a song stuck in your head, a sudden certainty that time is less a straight line and more a suggestion written in pencil.

We cannot wait to return for the next Time Traveler’s Ball. Which is, of course, also last year. And several future years. And possibly happening right now, somewhere behind a velvet curtain, if you listen closely and hear the gears turning.

Your Humble Servant,

Lord Reginald Baltimore
