Annapolis

We end the Birthday Week with me and S (no husbands or kid) in Annapolis to see our friend Tim K perform at a little listening space in downtown. S picked me up at about 3pm, and traffic sucked. We had a 4:15 appointment for an escape room, but we called and moved it to tomorrow. 

We got to the hotel, checked in, it is cute as all get out. It is one of those Graduate hotels that Hilton runs, and because this is home to the Naval Academy, everything is full of nautical nonsense. A little expensive (on the Doug scale this would be right out), but. We're splitting it so I booked it. The Marriott in town was crazy expensive, and the next nearest one is where S and I stayed a year ago when we came to see Amythyst Kiah at Ram's Head. This hotel is 2 blocks from where Tim was playing. Boom. 

We dumped our stuff and ran next door to the video game bar Game On. We had a couple drinks, played a game called What's Your Meme, ordered 2 individual pizzas (we should have split one) and then Skee Ball. 

Time to head over to Tim but we were too early, so we sat and ordered more food. And espresso martinis. Because birthday. 

Tim has been playing out for a few years, he's a teacher (school/music) and a music teacher, and he's a pretty great guy. We'd been hoping to see him at some point, so .. why not this weekend. There were a ton of people there to see him. His friend warmed up the crowd, he was alright but I wanted Tim to start playing. Finally. He did. Chrissy gets tired, yo. Up past my bed time! 

He did all originals, no covers (he was prepared to do covers if necessary) but the audience was receptive to him and his music. It was a really great show. A great deal of fun. He even performed with his dad, who did the song he wrote for his own wedding to Tim's mom (This was the Tim's Gonna Make Mom Cry set). It was very sweet, and she sat in her seat and sang along with him, while he looked at and sang to her. 

Just, incredibly cute. 

I had carrot cake and an espresso martini (they were very weak tbh) and that obviously has an impact on the sugars tonight. 

Good times. And tomorrow, escape room!
