Thomas Dolby At The Ram's Head

Last night, Mike and I went to see Thomas Dolby at the Ram's Head Tavern in Annapolis. He was great. It was just him and a bunch of electronic gear. He had cameras mounted on his head and on his equipment that were mixed in with videos and projected on a screen behind him.

Song List

• Wind Power
  
• Europa
  
• One Of Our Submarines
  
• Hyperactive
  
• Blinded Me With Science
  
• Flying North
  
• Budapest By Blimp
  
• Airhead
  
• I Live In A Suitcase
  
• Dissidents?
  
• Leipzig?
  
• Mulu The Rainforest (He used this piece to demonstrate how he used various equipment to put a song together live on stage)

That was the first time I had ever been to the Ram's Head. It was a nice place. The food was good - I had Soft Tacos and Mike got a Crab Pretzel. I liked the Tavern Ale, Mike was drinking the light. The beers were only 10 oz. My father said he got a pitcher out in the bar and took that in with them when they went into the concert hall - sounds like a good idea. We had good seats and could see everything but you probably can't see the stage from some of the seats. Getting there and back was a breeze. We parked in the Gotts Court Garage on Calvert Street - five bucks for "Event Parking" whatever that means. When we got up to West Street there was some kind of festival going on but we didn't have time to check it out. Fun night.

First Thursdays at the Walters Art Gallery

Cat Mummy

On the first Thursday of the month, a lot of the museums in Baltimore have free admittance. Last week, I took the No.15 bus down to the Walters Art Gallery. I was there with Matthew's class a couple of years ago but I didn't really get a chance to look around. The bus ride took about 45 minutes at that time of day (around noon), which isn't bad. I went through the first three floors of the main section but ran out of time before I made it throught the fourth floor of the main section and the Hackerman house, which has their Oriental collection. I took the light rail out to the Falls Road station where Natalie met me on her way home from work. Except for the smell, it was a nice ride. I left the museum at about 4:20, walked seven blocks to the Centre Street station and was at the Falls Road before 5:00. Pretty convenient. I took a lot of pictures but not many of them turned out. When I'm finished editing the good ones, I'll put them up on my 360 page.
