Saturday

Tonight I went to a pig roast in downtown Baltimore. About a half a block from the Brewer's Art. Along the side of the house a 'pit' was built up using cinder blocks. Four bags of charcoal were poured in and when the fire was blazing the pig was suspended above the fire with a custom made pack made of rebar. The pig was about 60lbs or so...it was roasting for 4 hours I believe.

When it was time, the pig was removed from the fire and four people wearing 'phantom of the opera' masks lifted the pig onto their shoulders like a palanquin. They walked up the alley and over to Charles St, turned left to go south, then right and crossed the street at the next intersection and made a right, going north on Charles and then to the house.

The pig was carved and we feasted.
