etcetera

That's pretty awesome. I live less than a mile from Dominics in that new subdivision off of Elaine Drive. I drive by Dominics every single day. I was born in St. Charles, lived in St. Peters until I was eight, moved to Bloomington Illinois in '98 and moved back here in '05. So I've pretty much been here my whole life too. I play guitar (poorly). So not really. I have a few friends that are sort of in the younger St Louis music scene these days, but I'm not too plugged in.

You live out in Wentzville? I'm in northwest O'Fallon and work in Wentzville right across from the old Bells (? can't remember if that was its name) Mall. Fairly rare to see people with even slightly sophisticated tastes out here in the swarms of soccer moms.

Was such a good show. "A Shot In the Arm" was worth the price of admission itself. "I'm the Man Who Loves You" was also especially good. I wish people would learn to shut the hell up though.

Oh man, good setlist. I'll be there Saturday and I'm excited. My high school graduation is at 1, I have a graduation open house directly after that, and then I'm leaving to head down to the Loop around 6. Crazy day.

Got my ticket for Saturday. That day is going to be insane. My high school graduation is at 1 that afternoon, directly afterwards I'm having an open house, and then I'm going to Wilco. All that after being in Florida the week previous for my senior trip.

My ticket for the third St Louis show ended up being $40.45 after fees. I'm not against paying an extra $5 to save me a trip to the physical box office. But I don't think I'd pay more than $10.

David Ortiz, hands down.

Don Delillo's White Noise.

I'm a little more than halfway through this right now and it's incredible.
