Show Me The MUNY

Well folks it has been another week and another glorious city done.

St. Louis has been chock full of good times:

The MUNY= the largest structure I have ever seen, it houses a professional musical theater company in the park every summer.

The Art Museum

Seeing the Cardinals lose to the Pirates, o well you can't win them all.

Seeing Hamlet 2 and Vicky Christina Barcelona= two pretty good movies, not great, pretty good

Productions of King Lear, Sunset Limited, and an original play

Stumbling upon a cellist in a dangerous part of a neighborhood

Basically the crazy capers that ensued with the person I was staying with, wow= board games, cats, ransacked apartment, comfy bed

Very adequate book stores, however getting a really sweet book about Ubu Roi and Alfred Jarry

A story about me going to the police because I heard a gun shot, long story

Above all enjoying how the city is in a state of expansion of culture and arts.  It was a really good time to stay there

A sweet BBQ/Root Beer Brewery

The cleanest/modern library I've ever seen

Going to the Arch and them confiscating my pocket knife (Its a National Park), however the arch was a sweet time

Well that about wraps it up- I'm chilling in Indianapolis for a week attending the fringe festival.

Durktown USA

Ohio- the state of 3 cities

Well folks,

Ohio has been an awesome time.  A lot safer than Detroit.  I had stayed about a week in Cleveland, a day in Columbus, and Cincinnati for 3 days.  

Some highlights from Cleveland= a pretty awful production of Harold and Maude the musical, a really easy railway system, a great host that I stayed with, great lakes beer, a bookstore closing and getting ten books for 2 dollars, going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and having a conversation with someone who felt the Beatles are overrated as well, meeting Ted Nugent, yeah, Ted "Cat Scratch Fever" Nugent, seeing a pretty ok X-Files film, and an awesome chicken sandwhch.

Columbus= My car broke down, I had to stay a night...nothing else.

Cincinnati= seeing a community production of Fiction by Steven Dietz, great play, bad show in an equally bad neighborhood.  Rock Bottom Ale, finding the best book store known to man, so many books, magazines, and pictures.  Seeing one of my new favorite shows of all time, Jerry Springer the Opera at New Stage Collective.  Seeing Roman De Gare, a french thriller in an old movie house.  

Well thats all for this time, see you later
