I love St. Louis. I should move back.

edit ... except the pizza (tried yet another one this weekend and it was just awful), and The Social Club in Soulard. That was pretty awful. Otherwise everything is awesome.

Why in the hell did you go there? That's the sort of place that local dbags go to, drink Bud Light Lime, get into fights, then run over each other in the parking lot.

When I went back to school I made my wife promise me that if I graduated, we were going to move to St. Louis. Turns out we were too busy looking for change in the couch cushions to afford soda so it never happened. It probably never will either, but I would love to live there.

Yeah, "The Social Club" should be called the "Tool Douchebag Club."

Guys like Luke frequent those places.

I'm way too highbrow for that place. Morgan St for me.

She looks a bit sexier on a beautiful day after a WS win,

...but yeah, it's home.

Luke,
Is your new wife "minding" you?

It has always looked good to me. On my way to basic training I looked out the airplane window and saw Busch Stadium. I fell in love (having been a Cards fan long before that). In 1991 or so we went to a series and even though it sucked, we had a great time. Then again in 1995 or so is the last time we were there and hit Wrigley for a game on the way back. If I had the financial wherewithal to move there, you better stay off the street because my U-Haul would be tooling along at 100 mph.

That's hard to answer. Is your old wife "minding" you?

We were bar hopping in Soulard, and when this cool bar that had an outdoor firepit closed up a 1 me and my buddy Mark went to an alley to pee. When we came back, the other 9 guys we were with were nowhere to be found and we couldn't find a taxi. So we wonder around and we ran into some people that said the Social Club was open until 3 and there were cabs. So we went. First bad sign ... a line to get in. Second bad sign ... cover charge. Third bad sign ... music/people etc... I can't believe we even got a beer, my friend was already aggravated and almost got into a fight and basically forced his way up to the bar and got us one. We drink one, and it's time to go. We go back to the entrance where nobody is in line now, and the douchebag says we can't leave there we have to exit about 20 feet down. I look at him and say "Are you [expletive] kidding me, it will take 10 minutes to fight through that 20 feet to get to that door?" I mean the [expletive] door is open ... just step aside and let us walk out. [expletive] douche wouldn't let us just walk out the door. Had to fight through the crowd to get to the exit.

What street is that Social Club on? It seemed like a main artery I should know.
