Boston 2

Sunday morning? A Me-Party:

Brunch at MASA - a mexican Tequila bar.  Corn bread with three spreads, chili-roasted veggie omelet and taters.

My Kindle and I know how to party.

Between shows I met up with Dan Perman again so we could catch up.  Along the way I had a chat with a founding father:

And witnessed a little princess in action:

I made Dan walk me up to the North end so I could do pastry comparisons.  A local Boston former fat kid told me that Bova's bakery could give Mike's a run for its cannoli money:

Mike's certainly has options:

How would I ever choose?

Luckily, we brought in reinforcements in the form of Matt Sydney - another former camper I've marginally kept in touch with.  This one's for you, mom:

The Results:

Bova's cannoli (above) had very airy, creamy filling, and a shell that tasted like the fried dough you get at carnivals.  It was divine.

Mike's (below) had a dense, rich filling, but the shell had nothing on Bova's.

If I could fill Bova's shell with Mike's cream, it would be the perfect cannoli.  Guess this means I have to have one of each from now on...

After the second show, a bunch of us went to a bar called Beehive for live blues and beers:

Ted and I shared the short rib grilled cheese.  A half was the size of my face, so sharing was a good idea:

Leaving Boston can be traumatic:

But at least our hotel has a nice view:

Here we are in Hartford on President's Day, and my receipts are looking very patriotic:

Not sure what this city will be like, but at least I have the parents to look forward to!

Until then, here are a few clips I've been working on.  YouTube is becoming a casting market, so I figured I should better represent myself:
