Drum+Guitar=Happy

email from my favorite hyperlocal band...

Hi Everybody,

Charles & Nate will be getting together for an awesome, one-time-only guitar & drums mega set this Saturday night (11/14) at the Chapala/Palenque Bar in scenic Burtonsville, MD. That's near Columbia, in case you were wondering. We're helping our friend Jeff from Over Socialized celebrate his birthday. The show starts at 8:00, we go on around 9:00, Over Socialized starts around 10:00.

The place has a bit of an identity crisis -- it's a restaurant in the front and a party in the back -- but the food is great, the drinks are strong and the performances will be stirring and memorable!

It's been so windy and rainy...most of the trees are nearly bare and the ground is a carpet of leaves.

Here's how my day is going...

Lunch. I think it wants me to find the hidden Halloween candy instead.

That is some good tea.

You know when two preteen boys are practicing for their newly formed band and listening to KISS upstairs and a preschool girl is drawing and coloring psychadelic reindeer -- and describing them in great detail -- right next to you? That's a good time for a cup of tea.


At this juncture, I'd like to recommend Andrews&Dunham Damn Fine Tea (http://www.damnfinetea.com). Keeping it in the family...

Wednesday afternoon cake

It's cold and dark outside. Inside, we have a fresh chocolate cake. It's the Alice Medrich recipe and it's lovely.


I'd be happy to share, but it's for someone else!
