adjusted lineup was fooled with, hence our off-scheduling

Ah, Insubordination Fest.  For the past few years Baltimore has hosted this poppiest of punk fests at Sonar, but thankfully the location moved to the Ottobar this year, a more suitable venue for the attendance (it didn't feel as much a spread-out sea of lollygaggers; more of a nice family of nerdlinger punkers).  

We came exclusively to see our Boston friends, The Fatal Flaw, play a short set (all the sets were amended due to cramming so many bands in for one evening).  I may or may not have taken a nap before said show and was probably a lil' foggy/groggy driving us down to Bmore just to get there a few minutes late (boo!), during the FF's set.  Yummy pizza was devoured at a crowded Joe Squared later that night and delicious crepes were tasted the following morning in Aberdeen before parting ways.

Get some!

This weekend I had an opportunity to visit a local Harford County shade garden as part of a Master Gardeners group.  These are just the first few shots; more flora mega posts of this day still to come.  If you like looking at plants, take it in.  If not, I'm surprised you got this far on this post.  =)  Hope you had a great weekend!
