"I think I will check out Baltimore's local culture," the sailor said over drinks in a tavern, with a heavy Greek accent. "I will see a band tonight."

"What band?" another sailor asked the first.

"Let's see," the first sailor said, thumbing through his copy of the City Paper. "Playing tonight there is:

AK Slaughter,
Blood on the Walls,
The Death Set,
Drum of Death,
Headwounds.

"They all sound like great bands," the second sailor said, approvingly. "You know, Baltimore has a very lively local music scene."

"Agreed," the first sailor replied. "Very lively culture. By the way, City Paper--that paper I now read--has a website. On it you can see nice videos from the band 'Blood on the Walls.'"

"That sounds like a very good video to watch. You know, I'm impressed that the leading weekly entertainment guide supports the band 'Blood on the Walls'. This is a City Paper worth reading."

"It's a pity we didn't make this port a few months ago," said the first sailor. "We missed the Ottobar's book-burning night."

"Yes, book burnings are normally great fun. They definitely make a city proud."

The first sailor raised his glass. The second sailor follows. They clink glasses. "To Baltimore! Charm City!"
