Sorry for all the Cards/Pujols love, but all the attention on St. Louis for the All-Star Game has made me appreciate how fortunate I am to be in St. Louis (Baseball Heaven) while a sure-fire HoF’er is in the prime of his career (I hope I didn’t jinx it).
As a sports fan, I’ve read plenty of accounts of watching players like Larry and Magic, Bill Russell, Stan the Man, Jim Brown and loads of other all-time greats, but other than the only Bulls game I’ve ever attended (MJ led them to a title that year), I’ve never been able to regularly see a once in a generation player.
Call this nostalgia from the future. I just can’t wait to tell my grandkids all my El Hombre stories.
Btw, this is a swell article.
Nah. I’m expecting a Big Mac.
Albert Pujols (courtesy of the St. Louis Post Dispatch’s Brian Burwell), on whether he expected the Cardinals to bill him for knocking out the lights in the “I” with a June home run into Big Mac Land.
Dan’s work never fails to be awesome.
I just read the part about a trolley on Cherokee Street and my head exploded
My favorite taco place (see DK issue 0.1) would become my favorite place. End of discussion.
This past Thursday, my friend Matt and I went and explored Cement Land, the in progress creation of City Museum founder Bob Cassilly.
RFT did a pretty interesting write-up on the place almost nine years ago, but it doesn’t seem like much has happened in that time (save for a few sweet constructions).
Cement Land is insanely surreal. We were the only people there, though every now and then the quiet tension would be broken by a few birds. Exploring the place is as close to post-apocalyptic as I can imagine or hope to experience, and it might just be the most perfect set for a zombie film in existance.
Definitely one of the top 5 experiences of my life.
This watercolor by Dan Zettwoch of a Somali pirate is super-cool and really moves the Charlotte Hornets-related art community in a startling new direction (see the hat and jersey).
But in all seriousness, stop by the Cherokee Print League Holiday Sale tomorrow for a chance to buy some of Dan’s work and check out the work of other St. Louis artists.
MVP!
The Coolest Baseball Team Ever
(besides the Cards, of course)
