Liquid Summer Festival: "In More Ways Than One"
Yesterday was the maiden run of the Liquid Summer Festival in Fells Point yesterday.
Being newbies at this festival thing... IG and I parked in Canton and taxied ourselves to Fells. First time I hailed a cab in the city...ever! I felt Like Carrie Bradshaw! But not before we had a cabbie of African descent mumble something about eyes and being from around "here"... whatever dude just drive the fucking cab already! This was after a much discussed decision about whether to even attend with the torrential downpours that had been happening all day. But HipChick, ever the pioneer, decided the KBB was worth a few raindrops!
The weather was horrible and NO ONE in Fells seemed to know where this festival was supposed to be happening. In Fells Point, this is completely weird 'cause Fells is one of the "drinking meccas" of Baltimore city.
It was something straight out of The Truman Show... we visited several popular Fells Point establishments...Soundgarden...The Daily Grind and NO ONE could tell us where the festival was happening. Nevermind it was happening right down the street! Finally we wandered into Trixie's Place and the lovely chick inside told us exactly where to go.
"Oh thank you shopgirl, I shall remember you in my will."
I will attempt to tell the story of the festival using snappy headings and separate postings... cause you'll get more out of it this way... and hell, it amuses me to do so.
