Our first Bandida ride of the summer of 2008 was a minor bust. Oh, we received our usual hoots and shout outs, "Hey can I have a ride?" from the charming men of Baltimore (and we're called "Charm City" why?), but the fun was cut short because we didn't buy tickets in advance and Sex and the City was sold out at the Landmark (boo). THEN it started to rain (double boo). So... of course we "had to" duck into James Joyce pub (http://www.thejamesjoycepub.com/) to wait it out (yay!). I had a cosmopolitan in honor of the movie and we tried out the Shepherd's Pie. It was pretty good and can best be described as mashed potato stew. It will make sense when you have it...

A few cosmos later the rain subsided and we rode home. The only exciting thing to note is that Gov. O'Malley was there too, tucked away in a little corner with his goons. Well folks that's what we call exciting in Baltimore!
