Returning from the ROAD TRIP hiatus today.

Marty and I went to Baltimore and Ocean City, MD for a short vacation this week. We stayed overnight in a tent at the Ramblin' Pines Campground near Woodbine, MD. We played the open mic at Leadbetter's in Fells' Point to a warm and receptive crowd. We stopped by 203 Amity Street, the house where Edgar Allen Poe grew up. They keep pretty odd hours (Friday and Saturday from noon to 3:45 only) so we just saw the plaque outside. Maybe because it's in the projects? who knows? Oh and the spot where he's buried is kinda cool, what with the old 10th century gravemarkers and all.

Then we went on to Ocean City and set up the tent in an RV park. Not bad way to go, we were right by the beach... We met a coupla cool cats there, and got ourselves licenses to busk the boardwalk. That was a lot of fun. And it was cool to sun on the beach, play a little frisbee, fly a kite, and splash around in the waves. Not to mention how sweet a good road trip can be.
