The Andrew And Julia Show

Saturday just after noon Andrew and Julia visited me in Baltimore. We saw a Baltimore that not many get to see, and it was so fun I didn't take any pictures.

It started off with a little Kitten Laser Tag, which is just about my new favorite thing. Andrew though forgetting to leave the laser by the fireplace like I asked him, excelled at causing the cats to attack each other. Overall he had some good moves, though the cats no longer think that the red light lives in the fireplace and just comes out every once in a while to torment them. (The next morning he wore out the batteries and blamed it on Julia (who I am not sure ever got a turn)... that's my brother).

Next we took the light rail to the inner harbor for a little sight seeing. There was talk of sailing the dragons around the inner harbor, but luckily we decided against it. The water taxi no longer shuttles people to our next destination at this time of the year, so we took a land/road taxi instead and saved ourselves about $18. Our destination... The American Visionary Art Museum. The consensus was that we all had fun, until Andrew and I got hungry and grumpy.

Next we walked over to Little Havana. My favorite thing about Little Havana has always been the shuffleboard table. We played one game against a team of near professionals. The guy that was on Andrew's side scored 8 points in the first two turns against him. I have never been as equally beaten and demoralized. Andrew took the brunt of the beating as he was playing against the best player ever, and so I blame him mostly for the loss... though we were totally outmatched.

After some food, shuffleboard, Golden Tee and pool, we pressed on to watch The Decemberists. I am not familiar with their music, and therefore had only an okay time. Andrew and Julia seemed to like it a whole lot more and because I trust their judgment believe that it was a good show. Thanks Chris for hooking us up with the tickets.

After the show we made our way back to my apartment and made a detour for the ibar. There we bought a pitcher of Yuengling and played some more pool. After finishing the pitcher we walked back over to my apartment.

The next morning we rocked out a little, juggled, played some more cat laser chaser and then went to this cool diner down the street where we had breakfast. I still can't remember the name of it, but if I could I would totally link it!

After breakfast I took them to the train station and they rolled away.

Thank you Andrew and Julia for coming over...I was way too tired to write this yesterday.
