| | i have become curious about television, and baltimore A life of scooping and blogging has proved far crueler than I originally anticipated, despite the free goodies I eat on the job and the many interesting and powerful people I meet on the blog. There has been one thing that gives me solace, at least of a momentary variety, and that is the Box.
The Box sits atop the television in our family room, and when it is not tied up by my brother or step-father, I will wander downstairs to explore the hundreds upon hundreds of magical channels. One of these channels is called The N, and in the evenings it plays a program called Degrassi, which seems to involve a number of frustrated, sexually active teenagers in Canada. I assume the Canadian accent, for all its shortcomings, must serve as something of an aphrodisiac, and I long to visit such a place where it is spoken.
But I will be missing Degrassi tonight, for I am attending one of my emo bacchanals this evening, in Baltimore. The band is called theAUDITION; they seem hostile towards spaces and Traditional Capitalization, and I find that rebellion intoxicating. The lead singer is tall for an emo boy, which is comforting after the minor crisis I had last summer upon seeing how short Chris Carrabba is.
The show is in a part of Baltimore that I am not familiar with. That part is called "Everything That Is Not The Inner Harbor." I am scared about the neighborhood, in a suburban sort of way, but I remind myself how afraid I was to visit the 9:30 Club for the first time, and how it was actually in nice Towson that my car was nearly broken into, and I do not feel so bad about Not Inner Harbor Baltimore.
After all, Not Inner Harbor Baltimore is north of here, which means it is closer to Canada, and whatever makes the teens of Degrassi so horny. Yes. Perhaps love can be found in Baltimore tonight.
