So I stopped doing them.</p><p><a href="http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/midnight_sun/blog/tour_diaries/" target="_blank">Here's a link</a> where you can read the dozen-odd ones on the blog.

         <title>LP Docks also cuts back</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img height="188" hspace="7" src="http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll144/samuelsessa/0619081250-1.jpg" width="350" align="right" border="0" />The days might be numbered for LP Docks (1476 Reynolds St.).</p><p>The Locust Point corner bar sits in the middle of a rapidly changing neighborhood. When Silo Point goes online it probably won't be long before the place shuts down.</p><p>Heck, it's barely open now. Look at the hours posted on the door.</p><p>It's a shame, considering LP Docks has the certifiably smallest men's bathroom in all of Baltimore. You couldn't fit a coffin inside.<br /></p><p>But change has to come sooner or later, I guess.</p><p><em>(Photo by me)&nbsp;</em></p>]]></description>

         <title>Mojitos vs sangrias</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Let's do a little poll.</p><p>What's better: An ice cold mojito or an ice cold sangria?</p><p>I've always thought of the mojito as the trendy upstart in the summer drink family. The punk kid, if you will. Sangria on the other hand is more of a classic drink -- at least in my mind.</p><p>Anybody know what came first?</p><p>Personally, I'd rather have a mojito. I love how crisp and refreshing they are. Sangrias are too sweet for my taste.</p>]]></description>
