An Evening with Poe

Tito, Dr. Duke, and myself went to check out "First Friday" at The Walters Museum (http://thewalters.org/museum_art_baltimore/the_museum.aspx) and had a great time. It was Edgar Allan Poe night and they had an impersonator doing readings. It really wasn't his night though...people were gathered in a huge marble area that was open to the four or five stories above. Like an open-air marble atrium. So...the acoustics were working against him...and then he had to read from a script! What kind of self-respecting Edgar Allan Poe impersonator needs to read The Raven from a script??? But...since it was free we were still impressed. There was also live harpsichord music that lent itself to the macabre mood, although what is up with the white socks? We were able to see some of the "creepy" things in the museum's Chamber of Wonders, The Armor room, and the Collector's Study. It was intriguing and we will definitely go back to see the whole museum.
