Batimore, Maryland
Quick lived, bursting with personality this city aged like a fine wine.....you can really appreciate the flavor spiced with any kind of beer you want on tap and some of the best local Jazz I've experienced. After an accomplished day at whole foods in Harbor East the crew headed straight for the American Visionary Artist Museum where we got to interact with Paul Spooner's fantastical world of characters behaving obscurely, almost comparable to Wallace and Gromit, but no clay, mostly wood. The rest of the side show displayed a spired variety of pieces ranging from the largest pink poodle atop a small buggy I've seen, a ginormous bra ball,and an aged hearse decked to the brim in recycled glass bottles. Inside the main museum Rob especially was delighted to know of the Dr. Bronners alter, while I was quite moved by Alex Grey's original pieces. Their gift shop is one of the funkiest we've come across since Chicago. After the free, on the lawn showing of Casablanca Erin and I made our way to Bertha's pub to catch a local jazz trio of piano, drums and stand up base. Just what we needed to spark an excuse to come back to this city. Thanks Adam for showing us what Baltimore is really about. So now after our demo day at Mt. Washington we are on our way to Philadelphia to some how squeeze all six of us into Bob Dylan's show.
