July 8th – Monday at the Teavolve Open Mic w Shawan Rice.
Just another Monday with friends and music!
Sort of – I’m definitely feeling a little burnt out on the open mic crowd recently. There were truly AMAZING acts tonight (a couple of poets just blew us all away) but I am tired of attitudes – so tired that I think I may be IMAGINING attitudes… but maybe not.
I wish I had an impartial shoulder-beest who could whisper in my ear “that wasn’t meant the way it sounded” or “yeah, you’re absolutely right, that one’s an asshole”.
You, yeah you… talk through the whole night and then get on the mic and talk about respecting other artists? Hrm. Holy crap. Show. Stolen.
Driving into Baltimore – geese have lay claim to this corner of our world on Russell Ave! A highly questionable way to advertise thy movie – though interestingly this corner (and nowhere else that I’ve seen) there’s OFTEN movie ads that look more like PSA than movie posters!
It’s Kristen’s birthday – and it’s a hundred and eight degrees. We went to celebrate the former and suffer the latter at Nick’s Seafood.
July 11th – Kristen’s birthday PT II.
My mom likes to take us up to the Cats Meow Daylily Garden in Manchester, MD and have High Tea for Kristen’s birthday. It’s a beautiful environment, and is a pretty Lovely way to celebrate my wife!
