I must have been out to Hermann more than once, but I only remember the one winery. We all went together. I think it must have been Stone HIll, by what you describe. I love the idea of a Missouri wine tour, because it seems so anti-California. Unfortunately, I don't know how much driving around we'll really be up for. I suppose it depends on when we get in. But I think there's already a lot going on. If nothing else, though, we should arrange to have a bottle or three of Missouri wine on hand to imbibe. I think this would be fabulous.

]]> Comment on Where should we stay? (hotel block for guests) by Andrew http://firefliescottonwood.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/where-should-we-stay-hotel-block-for-guests/#comment-281 Andrew Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:27:12 +0000 http://firefliescottonwood.wordpress.com/?p=620#comment-281 Wow! Right across the street from the Arch! $75 a night seems like a great deal for this hotel. For the price of staying one night in a hotel in Manhattan, you could make it a three or four night stay in St. Louis! Maybe you should list some of the cool things you can see and do within walking distance. (Given, it's walking distance in the middle of winter.) Wow!

Anyway, so among the places they went in St. Louis was Crown Candy Kitchen (although they did throw a nod to Ted Drewe's). He tried to eat 5 malts in a 1/2 and hour or something like that, and failed, but they talked all about the place and how they make their malts and whatnot. Not sure if this is the place for me, since dairy and I aren't exactly friends (although i HAVE been to Ted Drewe's), but I thought i'd share that i saw it on TV. They also featured Pappy's Barbeque and Iron Barley. That might have been it.

You both did very well, especially considering you had a tough crowd of 4-5 year olds. Wow. Steph, you and Janet were the best clowns.

I think that second photo of Andrew should be his photo for when his poems are published: his "book jacket" photo... much more compelling than the current one ;) 2. Notice that Nick (from the Bridespeople side) is also in the photo with me and Tom at my birthday party. So many wedding party intersections! Stephanie here–
