One of the amusing aspects of life Downtown are the waves of visitors. It is often entertaining to guess what sort of convention is responsible for a new wave of similar people in the CBD, and it’s usual simple to determine whether the home team won the day’s game. Many crowds are familiar, […]

Monster Trucks
February 17, 2007 – 9:57 pm
Ryan and Kelly talked me into joining them for the Monster Truck Jam. Kelly’s a fan. It was everything I expected.
The national anthem was preceded by a cheesy ritual of military personnel being asked to stand. Then veterans. Then their parents. Then police and fire fighters. I was disappointed […]

Sinaisky in St. Louis
January 27, 2007 – 10:32 pm
Just some brief observations from tonight’s performance of the SLSO:
Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet has been made cliche, so it’s a little difficult to get involved with. But Vassily Sinaisky, the guest conductor, was so enthusiastically animated and the entirety of the strings were so dead-on that this performance was surprisingly fun.
The Playbill had be […]

For the third time this year that mere weather has caused power outages in Chesterfield and St. Charles County, both communities that many living St. Louisians can remember as how far out you’d go for a trip camping and that many now call home.

I suppose I should publish my 2¢ regarding the new ballpark, having been to two games already. I heartily approve. It doesn’t try to be an amusement park or deny the city, but rather simply presents a field with a lot of well-positioned seats, and seems to take just as much space as […]
