Why, hello there!

Rub those sleepies out of your eyes, friends, and share some weekend stories with me.

I know we usually do this in the morning, but the whole Grand Central fire thing took a big bite out of my day.

Let me tell ya's what I did this weekend. ...

Is it possible to overdose on music?

After sitting through something like 30 bands in three days at the Non-Commvention in Philly, it's a good question.

That's where I was for most of my weekend. Got back Saturday evening and spent Sunday morning walking around/shopping at the farmer's market and at Fells Point.

What were you guys up to this past weekend?

Fill me in. 

Also, did anybody check out the newly renovated Gin Mill?

This past weekend was a nice cool-down for me. I only went out Friday night.

Instead of going home for Mother's Day a couple weeks ago, I had mom over and took her out for a night on the town. ...

So, kids, what'd you do this past weekend?

Anything exciting?

Friday, Amie and I went to Mosaic (at long last), then to the new Mother's on the Alley.

I'll tell you more about them in a bit.

Saturday, we had a delicious dinner with friends at the Annabel Lee Tavern, and later dropped by the Metropolitan Coffeehouse and Wine Bar for a nightcap.

Finally got the farmer's market Sunday, and then I went to see Iron Man.

It rocked. 

How was yours?

I think that's what I'm calling this new weekly "what did you do last weekend" feature.

I mean, we're all friends here, right? And friends talk about their weekends on Mondays.

I'll start.

Friday was low-key, but Saturday was action-packed.

The Kinetic Sculpture Race (pictured) rolled down the road I live on around 10:30 Saturday morning, so I cracked the blinds and watched it pass.

I spent all day Saturday covering the Maryland Film Festival. I blogged and worked on two stories (this one and this one).

Saturday night some friends and I went to Metropolitan Coffeehouse and Wine Bar for beer and cappuccino martinis.

Metro makes one heck of a cappuccino martini (or is it espresso martini? I can never remember).

And their beer list is one of the neighborhood's best. I had a Loose Cannon IPA.

What'd you do this weekend?
