We were finally able to take our first day off when we arrived in Baltimore. We spent the time with Brad's family and shared in some much needed home cooked meals!
The next morning we checked out a local theatre company, Single Carrot Theatre, that has made a huge splash in the Baltimore theatre scene in the short 3 seasons they've been in existence. We had a great meeting with executive director Elliott Rauh and blogger Chris Ashworth.
Elliott shared with us the incredible story of how the company was formed. The group's dedication and commitment towards creating their company and staying together (many of the current members had started the company when they were in college at CU Boulder) is truly inspiring to us as we embark on a similar journey. They also shared with us the funding and networking methods that have allowed them to begin to salary company members and fill their audiences to capacity every night! On a side note, they had an awesome alley behind their building that is dedicated to graffiti art...we got to take some pretty cool pictures there!
We spent the rest of the day prepping for our benefit performance later that evening. Adding to our eclectic collection of places to hold a benefit, we had it at the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore. As per our usual, there was a song and dance show, food and drinks, and the added bonus of admission to the museum. Thanks to Jon Weinman, Bev and Chip Weinman, and the Morris Weinman Foundation for their support and for making the evening possible!
And lastly, we closed out our time in Baltimore with Brad's uncle Jon and aunt Jan who are avid motorhome enthusiasts. Their knowledge and advice with regards to RV travel was invaluable to us in the planning of our trip. The grand majority of us had never dealt with motorhomes, so Jon and Jan's help drastically reduced the severity of our learning curve! They invited us over to see their motorhome, which just so happens to be larger than most new york city apartments. Needless to say, we were jealous of the spaciousness, and especially jealous that their toilet and shower are separate entities, whereas our toilet happens to be inside our shower...
We will be releasing a video soon that highlights the trials and tribulations of living in a motorhome, so stay tuned.
On our way to Boston tomorrow!!!!
