You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have…
Mackenzie Astin? John Waters? Okay, so maybe running into John Waters can be somewhat expected when you’re out in Baltimore (He does live there, and goes out like people do), but it still makes you giddy. We ran into Mr. Waters, wearing a long scarf, at Club Charles after playing a fun show at the new Lo-Fi. I have to say, the man looks like you would expect, but it was nifty to see him face to face. While we thought this was cool, and maybe going to be the most notable part of our weekend adventures…we were way off.The following morning, we met up with a bunch of close friends to go to one of my favorite places for brunch. The food was great, hanging out with people I don’t see all that often was wonderful, but wait! Doesn’t our waiter look like that guy from that show? Did Mackenzie Astin just hand me my breakfast, and refill my coffee? His Dad does live in the city that reads, but really, he’s waiting on me? We all recognized him, but come on. We busted out the iPhone and looked at info (thanks to wikipedia for sealing the deal) only to make the confident decision that it was him. The Facts of Life, Iron Will, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! This was the most notable part of the weekend. Thanks Mac.
At what restaurant did you see Mackenzie Astin?

i don’t remember the name of the place, but it was near johns hopkins. mr. astin was dressed in a black tshirt with black jeans. mack, the waitress who initially took our order was pretty annoying actually, but once you took over it was great. thanks

That would be the One World Cafe on University Parkway, where Mack is often known to save the day; replete in black garb. So Mack, who do we think the waitress was??
And by the way, my dog’s nosectomy was a success.

The place is known as The One World Cafe, which proudly offers fine vegetarian fare, smoothies, coffee and tea (bar’s open ’til two). If you’re lucky, you may indeed spy ole’ Gomez Addams supping there in the early evening. And sometimes on the weekends, Ben, the wait staff hasn’t hydrated quite enough. Thanks for your patience and do come again…

Okay, I wasn’t going to give the name of the restaurant because I didn’t want to “expose” Mackenzie like that, but since maybe this is you and you named it, I’ll go with ya on this one. One World is one of my favorite places, and has been for years. If in fact this really is you, I’m so happy you were the one refilling my coffee. Maybe we’ll cross paths again, and this time I’ll say hi.

sam

Annoying Thirsty Waitress in now the name of our band.

robin, we’ll see you soon again.
sam, right back at ya. (And the # remains the same).
scott, it was the one with the black hair, muchas gracis para las “props”, and glad to hear your dog’s nosectomy went well…
Just one question though: without that nose, how in the world does your dog smell?
