Also, girl scout cookie time is coming. FYI, if you want a girl scout fix, you can go download the cookie locater app and it will tell you where there is a cookie booth in your area. Nuts, right?

That is terrible information for me to have. Their peanut butter patties are unto crack for me. And I'm not a big peanut butter and chocolate kind of woman. But those just taste so good to me.

Cass, or in 8 days you come visit and buy them from Grace. Or in 8 days you could order them and then visit in February and pick them up.

Hil, Jesse probably for sure could get them because it's an ABC Bakery thing. ABC's thin mints are vegan!

Yeah, they're even labeled "Vegan" this year! Last year, we had to read all the ingredients and figure it out.

Jesse, thanks for the offer. I think I'll see first if anyone I know is selling them.

I can't believe ABC bakeries has two non-box cookies!

Non-box? Like, you order the cookies and then some adorable little girl in a uniform backs a truck into your driveway, opens the back, and loose cookies just come pouring out?

I WANT IN ON THIS.

That would be much better than the reality, which is that they come in a bag.

Down with bags! Truck o'cookies forever!

Thin mints rule.

I Went Out. To an authentic Baltimore experience thing, Save Your Soul Night at the Lithuanian Hall [link]

I just people watched, which was fascinating! All the MICA kids and their outfits! That part made me feel old. Less old were all the folks older than me, dancing their asses off with the hipster MICA kids. It was for Joe's bday, and he was a very happy man, surrounded by friends and students.

No John Waters sighting tonight, though. It's a common place to find him (when I'm not almost running him over in Hampden.)

And home by midnight, because I am that old. Well, no really, I need to decompress after the people and the noise. Market at 8:30!

Best idea ever.

I think I could even do either of those. Love the idea of buying cookies from Grace. And seeing Grace!

Glad to hear it, Sox. That was super scary.

Liese, you are kinder about flies than I am! Or than anyone I know might be.

It's ridiculous! If I had just killed it to begin with, it would have been fine. But by the third day, I was somehow all invested in its survival! I don't know. I'm not right in the head, I think.

I'm sad because we're not going to NAMM again this year, and thus, no twins! And the company's doing good, we could totally have afforded it. But we didn't know that when planning, and also, we had way too much travel already.

I am going all nutty like I do before a trip, but with added cigar box guitars. Like, I had all these actual priorities, but they somehow got usurped by me having this unquenchable need to finish a second cigar box guitar to give to the guy the SO's recording with next week. So he'll use it on the album. Because that would be cool. And to do that, I have to finish it up tomorrow.

Not doing the million other things I should be doing before travel, no, building a guitar out of scrap.

But I've been having fun messaging with Matt about it! He's been very very helpful.
