Symphony dining suggestions

I will be going to the symphony in September (Lord of the Rings!) and would like to have dinner first.  I have eaten at the Fox before performances there.  To my knowledge there is nothing comparable at the symphony. 

Do you have any restaurant suggestions for the area?

Thanks.  And there are tickets still available.

Hey lady bloggers!

If you're like me and you've heard all the hub bub about BlogHer, but haven't been able to swing the price tag of flying across the country, do your part to vote to bring BlogHer to St. Louis!

(Maybe the P-D will even put a review article in the Tech section, unlike SOME newspapers.)

are you missing your coupons out of your St. Louis Post Disptach?

Is anyone else out there in the St. Louis region having problems with their Sunday ads missing one if not both of the coupon sections ? I got the Redplum coupon section 7/13/08, but it looks as though someone took my paper out of it s sleeve and tried hard to sneak the other set of coupons out because the were messy about it and left the 1/4 of the last page of the coupon on there... For example, did you get a coupon book that included coupons for viva paper towels? and what about coupons for huggie's, pull-ups, good nights...etc..... I need my diaper and wipes coupons dang it. If the paper is delivered early before I wake up, then someone must be coming down the street and snatching the good coupon pages. I NEED THOSE FOR OUR family!  Paying full price for a pack of diapers for our daughter is hard enough, that 1.50 coupon can make a huge difference over time. I love my coupons. Ok, Monday morning I'll be on the phone with the Post to see what their distributors did with the 2nd set of coupons for the paper this week or did we really get robbed of our coupons while the paper sat outside on my 4th step of my porch? on that note, does anyone have any good valid huggies diaper coupons? come see me over at my blog tomorrow.

Meeting about changes to the St. Louis Arch grounds

According to this article I read this morning on ksdk.com (http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=148781&catid=3), one of two public meetings about possible changes to the Arch grounds takes place tonight at the visitors center in Forest Park.   Personally,  I don't like the idea of messing with the Arch grounds themselves too much.  It is a beautiful park!  However, I do agree we need a better way to connect it with downtown, and the other bike and walking trails around (I think the Gateway Greenway and Waterway plans cover the trails part), and we need to do SOMETHING with our vacant riverfront.  I'm not too keen on adding more museum buildings or food vendors to the grounds, though.  I think the majesty of the Arch would be diminished with "clutter" on the grounds themselves.  What do the rest of you bloggers think?

sandbagging


As Steve Levy and I wrote, sandbaggers are desperately needed north of the city. Even if you're working now, sandbagging is going on all night long.

The St. Louis Today has an article on the recent breach as well as information in where to go to help.

Blogger Carnival #11

Sorry about the delay, Nobody of Nobody's Puzzles had a combination of RL and technical difficulties so they handed off this post, and the next round of hosting duties, to me.

The May Carnival theme was the Indianapolis 500

Indianapolis native, Kristi, of Adventures in Motherhood was the first to cross the finish line as she wrote about how she doesn't enjoy the cheese whiz on a cracker we call pizza, and how she misses The Race.  (I have to agree with her on the pizza, even though I've been a St. Louisan my entire life.)  Her post is filled with information for those who are familiar with The Race, and those who aren't.

Nobody else finished.  No, I'm not saying Nobody did.  Even Nobody forgot to write a post for the carnival.  They do wish to thank Kristi for participating. 

That was the 11th Carnival.  Which means the June Carnival is #12.  To celebrate a full year of carnivals, Nobody decided to make this what some term a "Carousel edition."  That is, there is no theme.  You can write about anything.  The only catch is you need to pick the post you wish to submit, and follow the instructions below.

The Carnival Rules:

Interested STL Bloggers should write a new post on the stated theme by the specified deadline. They should then email the host at the provided email address with the following information:

1) Name of Blogger
2) Permalink URL of blog post
3) Title of Blog Post
4) URL of Blog
5) Title of Blog
6) Would you be interested in volunteering to be the next host? Yes/No
6a) If Yes – what would your theme be?

The host will then take all the submissions that meet the simple requirements of addressing the specified theme, and having been posted between the announcement and the deadline – and link to them from one post, with some annotative comments for each. This post shall be posted at StlBloggers.com, and if the host wishes, at their own blog. Participants should expect a delay of a few days between the deadline and this post.

The host will also choose the next host from the volunteers in any fashion they desire.

STLBloggers Blog Carnival #12
Host: Gavroche at TransylvanianDutch
Contact: gavroche at gmail dot com
Deadline: June 30th at midnight. Email should be dated in the month of May
Theme: No theme.  Write about anything!

StLBloggers Carnival #10

Nobody came up with the theme for April’s blogger carnival, and thus April’s carnival was hosted by Nobody.  And there is something poetic about that, which is a good thing, since April’s theme was National Poetry month.  Confused?  No?  Good.

For April there were six participants:

In The National Poetry Month Poems By: The Baked Blogger, The Baked Blogger posted three poems, and the inspirations for each.  There are also several poems from readers in the comment thread.

In her post, Measuring Out My Life in Coffee Spoons CasaChristy told the tale of her most notorious poem -- the story behind its creation and what has happened since. Some will feel the poem should carry a NSFW warning.

SarahLynn shared a Playground Rhyme

LisaS at Clearview had two entries, she wrote about her thoughts on Handprints and in More Found Object Sculpture she introduced a ‘new sort of spamku’.

John at TransylvanianDutch shared some poetry with us every day in April, starting with a baseball poem and ending with The Butterfly

We created a Poetic Goozle (Goozle: a puzzle you may need to use an internet search engine to solve.)

No one volunteered to host for the Month of May (a disturbing tradition) so Nobody will host again.

For May’s theme, we ask you to blog about an Annual May happening.  The one that occurs during the weekend preceding the last Monday of the month.  The Indianapolis 500.  So write something about Indianapolis.  Write something about car races in general.  Write something about the number 500.  Write something about Hoosiers.  Or come up with another subject you feel able to connect to the Indianapolis 500.

The Carnival Rules:

Interested STL Bloggers should write a new post on the stated theme by the specified deadline. They should then email the host at the provided email address with the following information:

1) Name of Blogger
2) Permalink URL of blog post
3) Title of Blog Post
4) URL of Blog
5) Title of Blog
6) Would you be interested in volunteering to be the next host? Yes/No
6a) If Yes – what would your theme be?

The host will then take all the submissions that meet the simple requirements of addressing the specified theme, and having been posted between the announcement and the deadline – and link to them from one post, with some annotative comments for each. This post shall be posted at StlBloggers.com, and if the host wishes, at their own blog. Participants should expect a delay of a few days between the deadline and this post.

The host will also choose the next host from the volunteers in any fashion they desire.

Deadline: May 31st at midnight. Email should be dated in the month of May

The Bistro on Washington. Excellent food, and they have 3-course meal specials that are geared for the theater crowd.

I just upgraded both of your accounts.

Are there any other real non-spamming users who want to post here?
