Lost a costume contest in Federal Hill - badly.
After election? The same thing I do after every election - try to take over the world.

I will be drinking either way after the election results come in.
Went to Silks on Saturday night, a dive bar in Canton. The bar's wallpaper looks to be from the 1960s era.

I've been by Silks and even blogged about it once. When is that place open? Is it one of those situations where the owner only opens up once a month or so, just to keep the liquor license active?

The hours are very strange. I only went as a friend was guest bartendering that night.
Someone else told me that during the week, you have to knock to be let in.

After voting I may stop in for a free coffee at Starbucks. The campaign is What If We All Cared Enough To Vote?

I guess their message is you get free coffee.
