High Zero is the anti-Virgin Mobile FreeFest. Although the experimental music festival is older by seven years (it began in 1999), it coincides this year with one of the area's biggest music festivals. For every Dan Deacon at High Zero, there is a Ludacris at FreeFest. The FreeFest might have M.I.A., but High Zero has bassoonist Karen Borca. But that's just how High Zero organizers, the High Zero Foundation, like it. They feel they are going after different audiences. It's unlikely, for instance, that there'll be noise installations at the corporate gig as there will be at this DIY festival.

The recent Art Outside at Druid Hill Park returned the park, Baltimore, and its environs to a rare and nostalgic experience ("Arts patron revives Druid Hill outdoor festival," May 17). To see the diversity of attendees melding among the art, entertainment and sheer fun - all within a unique, and naturally picturesque setting in the city - was a welcome breath of fresh air! The happening not only commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Druid Hill Park Reservoir, it also inspired people to pause, take a relaxed break from the distresses of the world and have an old-fashioned good time.

Fred Rasmussen wrote a terrific article about Sunday's inaugural Art Outside at Druid Hill Park ("Arts patron revives Druid Hill outdoor festival," May 17). The event was outstanding, bringing the city back together in a beautiful setting. Many communities came together to support this wonderful day. Just like the art show of the '60s, Art Outside was festive, entertaining, relaxing and social. People got to enjoy special artists work in various medium - music, magic, painting, jewelry, clay, etc. It was a wonderful and special event that I hope will continue.

Devil horns, tattoos and black T-shirts don't begin to describe the scene at this weekend's Maryland DeathFest. Thousands of hard-rock lovers are expected to cram inside Sonar for the annual celebration of eardrum-shredding death metal and hardcore. The lineup is stuffed with nearly 60 bands, performing on multiple stages inside and outside Sonar over the course of three days. Where does Maryland DeathFest rank in terms of metal festivals? "Ask most people, and they'll tell you this is the only one worth going to," said co-founder Ryan Taylor.

These 12 choices are at the top of my want-to-see list, but there are a score more I'd like to see. Friday: 'WUSS' Forget "Waiting for Superman. " This sounds like "Waiting for Clark Kent": An adult returns as a substitute teacher to that scene of adolescent trauma, his high school, only to find that the student body has the whip hand. 11:30 a.m., Charles 2. 'Frankenstein' Director Danny Boyle has gone from a man who cut off his arm, in "127 Hours," to a man who stitches together all sorts of limbs and organs in this stage rendering of Mary Shelley's novel.
