Sunday mornings are the best time for reading articles and posts, so perhaps you should mosey over to the TOKY blog and read a piece I wrote about some of my travel experience from last summer.

A lot has been made of late concerning the suckage or non-suckage of our fair city. I would like my fellow St. Louisans to please read this article. In particular, this bit:

It’s not that something is missing from Stan’s legacy. On the contrary, one could argue that his legacy would be incomplete if he hadn’t been overlooked. Stan spent a long career showing up, playing hard, and going home afterwards. He considered himself lucky to be able to do so, and to do it well. That was all he needed. Had he been more of a prominent figure, something special about him would have been lost. His legendary wholesomeness just wouldn’t play right as an ESPN feature story, and it would open him up to undeserved cheap shots and cynicism. He lives well in the shadows. I mean that as a compliment.

We should disregard the pat-on-the-back write-ups as much as the link-bait lists that prompt them. Good things are happening here, but our success or failure matters not one bit on the recognition of others. Those who get it, get it—those who don’t probably never will. Like the Man, all we can do is try to better ourselves one day at a time. (Though a kind word every now and again isn’t the worst thing.)

My Matcha Bowl:

I’ve been on a bit of a blog hiatus while I compile media from my summer journey to show off, but in the meantime, I’d appreciate it if you would check out this piece I wrote for the TOKY blog. (I even delve into a bit of stuff from my trip!)

“(I)f I came here as a tourist, I wouldn’t really have an excuse to talk to people. I get an impression from every city by talking to people. At a show, people have just seen you do your most personal presentation. They’ve been singing along with songs that came from somewhere deep in your imagination. In some way it’s a kind of intimate experience with people who would otherwise be total strangers. I feel very lucky to be going on tour and to meet people in this way. Even after only talking to someone for two seconds we know that we have something in common. I was able to talk to many people tonight and I got the same impression from many people. The impression I got was that St. Louis is very supportive of the arts and supportive of people who are trying to do artistic things. There’s that rare feeling that people that live here feel that this place is good for them. This makes it easy for them to do their music or do their art. That to me is very exciting, and you don’t hear that everywhere you go.”
