so long baltimore, hello philadelphia.

well, we are now back where we started this whole wild tour, philadelphia. we rented a motel room in baltimore last night and (if my calculations are correct) slept for fifteen hours. today we decided to do a bit of ambling through baltimore before leaving - mostly to visit some of our favorite places is hampden.



we also got to visit the new storefront of our screen printing friends at squidfire. kevin was there manning the shop, so we got to catch up a bit, too. they have taken over the storefront that used to be atomic books and have filled it up with all their creative output. unlike their website, this affords them the possibility of selling of test prints and small runs. if you are in the area, you should probably visit their shop. you'll probably find something entirely unique. they are also nice dudes. oh, and they do custom screen printing, too, in case that is the kind of thing you might need.



after this last splash in baltimore, we took to the back roads and made our way to the loving arms o our adoptive family in philadelphia. our friends steve and julie and three kids and five dogs, so there is constant action in the house. in my current state of exhaustion and confusion, this is a surprisingly comforting distraction. i thought about explaining this series of pictures from our first evening in their home, but i think i'd rather let you all make up your own narratives.













maybe if you are all very good i will explain our evening's activities. but for now, i'd like to hear your guesses.
