Day 11: Celebration

22 January, Saturday.
As Jeff Jerome sent me a message telling me that the Poe House and Museum is exceptionally open this Saturday from 12 to 16h, it was obviously on the agenda, in addition to the dinner Annabel Lee Tavern and the celebration of the anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe in Westminster Hall in the evening I told you here talked .
We prepared sandwiches, as we had originally planned to spend the whole afternoon at Baltimore.
My man went on a run 2h stadium not far from the hotel and in the early afternoon, we went to the Poe House and Museum. A police officer was in his car in front of the museum, surely to monitor the surroundings while the museum was open and that Nancy, who was the volunteer guide that day was there. It was nice: we almost take a wrong way and he made us sign that it was not in the right direction. Limit he laughed: p: D short, we made the turn to find the right down the street: p
We are in the house baltimorienne Poe, one I will discuss in tomorrow's Note: (
Nancy welcomes us and tells us the history of the house and life Poe and his family during this period. Then we go to visit.
The entry that was the living room:

chair Poe.

Cooking:

A plaque that was previously on the school in front of Westminster Hall: Edgar Allan Poe School.

a room into an exhibition hall (another front was transformed into a video room where a video just spent together several documentaries about Poe.)

And a room upstairs in the attic, surely one of Poe:

way back in the lobby, Nancy asked me to sit on the Poe's chair, and there, I tell you no emotion!

[mode is hysterical: I was sitting on her chaiiiiiiiise !!!!][/ hysterical mode off]

Coming out as it was far of 16h, we have rescheduled the afternoon in the car eating our sandwiches.
Hop, we missed going to see the place yesterday, where Poe had received a literary award at the Latrobe House:

vessel that has not changed since then.

Then back to the hotel where my husband worked and I've read:)

Towards 15h45/16h, we left towards the tavern Annabel Lee.
We had a little trouble parking, but we finally found it. The restaurant was almost full. The boss greets us and asks us if we had booked ... No: /
We found a table anyway, and I learned later that it was reserved for the big fans of Edgar Allan Poe! :)

I ordered a drink Fortunado, and my man a free beer (0 tolerance for drinking and driving U.S. forces)

Then the flat form of sandwich, but very different of what we had seen so far ... SU-PER and especially good!

We really enjoyed it. They had even more hunger for dessert.

The opening of the doors of Hall was 18.30 and the show starts at 19h. Jeff Jerome told us to introduce ourselves to the chief of security, what we did:) Our seats were reserved, Jeff had offered input, as for the museum.
What I will present all the same: there is when he gave us T-shirts of the museum. It has really spoiled!

The wife of "Black Cat".

volunteers who were there the night of the Poe toaster.

Several people we had seen at the restaurant were present at the show.
The show consisted of a documentary tribute to Vincent Price, for its centennial this year. Vincent Price starred in many films featuring stories by Poe.
Then came a choir interpret 3 songs: one taken from Poe's poem "The Bells", another who was Shakespeare, and a third adapted from the poem "The Raven".
Finally, a one-man show with Grover Silcox who, between the reflections we recited comedy "The Bells," "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart," which memory ! And facilitated a kind of "game" involving some members of the public, with voice-Mark Redfield.

After the show, Mr. Jerome made a short speech in which he even about us, from France to Poe (suddenly, after several people came to congratulate us:)), where we learned the terrible news: the Poe House and Museum was surely have to close very soon because the council had since last July, continued to fund it! (My next note will be fully on it)
We then proposed a toast to Poe with a glass of cider apple juice.

As we left the next day we again thank Mr. Jerome for his hospitality and we said goodbye. But we keep in touch via FB; must spread the news to reverse the tide!

Returned to the room, we made a little photo-shot with the t-shirts: p
