Consumption Junction...

... has found the main vein where great local, and indy music is concerned. We spent the evenning with our friends Ryan (CJ blogger), Tom, and Jill, eating yellowtail and salmon at the newest Mt.

Rate it? Drink it!

OK, I don't know a thing about beer, except that I like to drink it, and on occassion brew it. The folks at ratebeer seem to revere the frothy stuff at a level far beyond my comprehension. Not that I don't enjoy it, but I guess I'm not the type to analize stuff to the most minute of details. Anyway, my favorite local brew these days is from Brewer's Art. Here's a sample review of their most popular brew, Ressurection, from RateBeer:

3.2	Aroma	Appearance	Flavor	Palate	Overall
	6/10	3/5	7/10	3/5	13/20

Hazy amber body with minimal off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, herbal hoppy, nutty. Taste is herbal hoppy, nutty, medium sweet, light otange. Medium body.

Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't they comment on whether they liked it or not? I, for one, like it... a lot.

Thin, hun?

Need to lose weight? Move to Baltimore!

"Baltimore Is Named America's Fittest City", Washington Post (via Drudge Report):

BALTIMORE -- Baltimore has been named America's fittest city, with Chicago overtaking Houston as the fattest. Last year's fittest city, Seattle, drops to No. 8 in the new list, released today by Men's Fitness magazine.

When the annual survey named Baltimore the fittest city in America, many Charm City residents had the same response: You gotta be kidding.

This is great news for a certain someone's soon to open fitness center...
