phew, relieved that it's the guinea pigs doing the eating and not the other way around! Super cute.

So cute! but, sadly, with 4 cats and 2 dogs (both rodent-hunting breeds), a guinea pig would have more hope in a Peruvian deli than at my house.

YES. Oh man now I miss the guinea pigs I had as a kid. They're so awesome. Watermelon made them, um, squirty though. So they rarely got it even though they loved it so hard.

@James: Yeah, Ixia is way better than Brewer's Art. Right on.

Brewer's Art for the win? You gotta be kidding! They have 2 things going for them: good food and a large, nicely-curated beer list. Meanwhile, there's not enough seating upstairs and the downstairs is dark, dingy, and disgusting. The bar tenders make decent but absolutely undistinguished cocktails. And the service is apathetic and occasionally even unpleasant. I stopped going there years ago and I can think of at least two other bars in Baltimore alone that are better. Give Ixia a try, for example. They kick Brewer's are to the curb in every criteria except beer.

Oh, by the way, I concur on Austin. It's establishments are generally suited to the 20 year old drunken palate and entertainment preferences.
