The Coolest Kids in Town: a blog about Baltimore, DC, and the misadventures of two-city life.

Well, kids, Tex is back from her long travels , wild adventures, and mysterious rendezvous (rendevi? rendevouseses?) in the distant East. And she's brought something to share with you. You know, until recently, I wasn't big into 'furniture stores.' Why buy furniture, I asked, when fruit crates fall off the back of trucks all the time , and you hardly ever run into trouble collecting cardboard boxes ? Well, times is changed and Tex has seen the light. That light is Su Casa . As those of you who read last week already know, Coda and I entered Su Casa's Test It/Blog It/Win It contest on a tipsy   loaded   drunken completely s***faced  fun whim - never thinking we'd actually be selected to perform our jobs (blogging is a job, right ?) in exchange for goods and services, and certainly never thinking we'd actually like doing so. In fact, we showed up at the Su Casa store championship-style: a week late, a little bit drunk, and 15 minutes before clo...

Honestly, sometimes Videogum (and its accompanying community of hysterical commenting monsters) are all that get me through the workday. Well, that and marshmallows . Sweet, sweet, precious marshmallows. Anyway, for a straight shot of funny right to the vein, check out Gabe's recaps of popular TV shows, or his ongoing Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time . But don't let me confuse you - it's all good and it's all funny. Now, spea...

Although it's been mentioned before , and you suckers know I hate repeats, this one's worth it. Texas' Awesome Blog (tm) of the Week is once more Pippi is awesome and hilarious, and I 100% recommend you read her site every time you get online. Now you go do it. And don't you lie to me. Tex can tell.

I am so ready...
