all right let's do this how are you what the fuckers what the fuck buddies what the fuck nicks what's happening i'm mark maron this is my podcast broadcasting from a room in a building that was built in the 1700s in what was once an attic,
a building with a very colorful history that I'm not entirely sure of.
I could do some reading, but it's not a bed and breakfast exactly.
It's an inn.
I'm in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and apparently this used to be the house of a ship captain,
and then it was owned by a woman who made clothing, and then some other stuff, a YWCA for a while.
I don't know, but it was built.
A long time ago in the 1700s and renovated, and now I'm in it, and it's beautiful.
There's a lot of history here, and I kind of feel it.
You get into these old buildings, and you feel something.
I don't know if it's a real feeling or
if it's just something your brain manufactures because you know something about the place,
but I definitely have real feelings about New England that always resurface when I'm here.
But anyway, look, a couple of things.
I just want to make a correction because, you know, Canadians are a little bit sensitive right now.
And that correction is that I mentioned I was at the Elgin Theater, but I was actually.
at the Elgin Winter Garden Theater, which is the Winter Garden Theater at the Elgin,
which is a very specific and very special venue.
I think I might have described it the last time I was talking about it with the leaves all over the place.
There's literally the entire walls and ceiling are just covered with a fake ivy that apparently represents real ivy that was there when they unearthed the place behind a wall.
