Baltimore

Oh wow... I am finally back home after a long weekend in Baltimore, MD! Even though it was a long weekend, I had alot of fun, met some new and shall I say interesting people out there. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I got there, but, the staff at Spectrum was very friendly and helpful. I wasn't able to get alot of pictures taken since there was some problems with plans arranged by my booking manager, but, overall... I enjoyed the time I spent out there.

On Friday, when I got there (after my overnight drive to Maryland) of course I had to wait to check in at my hotel (no check in's until 3pm). So, I went to Bob Evans and had a late Breakfast, where my server kept talking about someone she knew who just died from a drug overdose... those will get you everytime!! Finally was able to check in at the hotel (Days Inn, Glen Burnie) which I wouldn't really suggest staying there, I'll explain more here in a little bit. Got into my room, thought I could connect to the internet... of course not, couldn't get my wireless to work.

Left my hotel at about 6pm to go to the bar (Spectrum) got lost downtown Baltimore looking for Eastern Ave. I had asked one cab driver who didn't speak good english (go figure) and he told me a way that was not even close getting to the right street. Finally found another cab driver who was picking up someone and thankfully he knew what he was talking about and got me there (not to mention he spoke english). The night was a little slow and not many people where there, but the Bar Manager David, was of course on the Mic hosting and making everyone have a good time at the bar. The night ended and we all went out to the Broadway Diner for something to eat afterwards and even though there was a police officer looking to eject someone from the diner, it was an enjoyable time.

On Saturday, I woke up in my hotel room with the door wide open (opened by the housekeeping staff) and I'm laying in bed completely naked. So anyone that was in the parking lot at that time got a nice view of me shutting my door! Later on at the bar, when I got there at about 7pm I found the bar to be busier that Friday night... a good thing... the party had already started upstairs on the second floor with a bachalorette party. I ended up giving away 3 DVD's that night and also signed numerous pictures, even though we didn't go through the full 100+ pictures that were printed and I even signed the chest of a cute guy who told me the next time I'm in Baltimore, let him know because he will give me a room at the Radisson Downtown (AWESOME)! After Spectrum I was taken to the 1722 which is a hot dance club and is an after hours party! There I met the club owner (well, one of them) and danced with some more of Baltimore's hotties. Even though it was cold and rainy... still hot inside both of the clubs that I went too.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who made my time in Baltimore, fun and exciting. There are some very friendly people out there and some very fun times to be had.

On a personal level, I want to say thank you to... Charlie, Micheal, David, John and Ken for the kindness you have shown to me the time I spent out there with you guys
