took the plunge...

after thinking seriously about spending a little more money to stay at the Hotel Indigo in Baltimore, which had gotten very good reviews---decided to do it and have made my reservations for a week from Monday to a week from Wednesday. Good to stay in a hotel with a 24 hour person at the door, that was my main concern about not returning to Biddle Street, which actually I liked very much, but when one came in late, one did not know if they were the only person in the hotel. This is also closer to Camden Yards, as I hope to go to a ball game (Atlanta Braves) one of the two days, the other will probably have dinner with Robin. Hope to move around a bit as well, maybe visit Hopkins the second day in the morning. Not sure about when I will leave, prefer to take Amtrak to Wilmington and then go local all the way. Maybe actually move around Philidelphia as well. At any rate, we will see how all this progresses. Feeling kind of manic after taking this "plunge"---also introduced myself to Jess B, an actress whom I know from the "downtown theater group" whose work I see very often.
Last night----not too hungry around 8, finally went down to La Flaca, just as they were ending their Harry Potter-Friends trivia night (did not participate)---got a chance to check in with Bobby and Kelly, and had somewhat of a long conversation with bartender Page---she lives by the library on upper Amsterdam, and has visited the new bars that now line the east side of Broadway between
142nd and 143rd street---cannot believe that is happening---but it is.
Left around 10, found all star game really boring (well it is) and walked up Orchard to Houston to
Second, got an Anthology Film Archives Schedule---and walked to 14th street---took the crosstown bus to Seventh. Returned home by subway, slept decently, will say no more.
Tonight, we will see, tentative plans are to try to get in to 10 by 12, second choice, some trivia--actually leaning more towards that, but 10 by 12 is recommended by all who have seen it, and discussing it only strengthens my "cred".
