pibble parade + ottobar.

thankfully i woke up feeling much better yesterday. i'd been fighting a cold or who-knows-what for several days but felt SO much better. good thing, because we had a lot planned yesterday. we attended our first ever pit bull parade organized by b-more dog. i also became a paying member yesterday! we started off the parade at rash field and walked through the entire inner habor. one of my favorite stops was the water fountain. definitely have made a mental note to go back another day to enjoy the fountain and the rita's right next door.

about 60 pit bulls and their families showed up. several media agencies were there and we were on WBAL11 and WJZ13. several articles have also been written showing pit bulls in a positive light. there were no incidents yesterday between these dogs (because they are no different -and better- than a lot of other dogs) and everyone (mostly) was very excited to us out there. one of the highlights was a family with small children aching to pet corbin and he of course obliged, gently nosing the kids ages 2-8. 

after the parade we headed to the hard yacht cafe for some beer and noms. corbin went with us and laid under our table. after consuming delicious crab dip and shrimp stuffed egg rolls and a few bohs it was time to head home for a nap. 

we then went to the ottobar to see stillborn, world inferno friendship society and the adicts. stillborn were great, as always. i had never seen world inferno but a previous description of "circus punk" was accurate and i cannot wait to see and hear more of them. the adicts....well, were disappointing to say the least. yes, i heard my three favorite songs, danced and sang along but was seriously disgusted by the encouraged display of underage girls making out on stage. i will not be going to see them again. i don't think the last 10 years have been good to them. dirty old pervs.
