Live downtown? Just heading downtown? Want to stalk me as I do stuff?  Here you go, this is my list.

Thursday June 14th: Go bowling, that’s right bowling, on Washington Ave.  Flamingo Bowl is located at 1117 Washington Ave.  After 9pm you must be 21.  You can walk in and pay per game or you can reserve a lane ahead of time.

Friday June 15th:  If you commute to work on a bike to downtown, stop by TrailNet’s offices for FREE BREAKFAST!  The Breakfast for Bikers series is the 3rd friday of the month at 1011 Locust St.

The start of Brewer’s Heritage Festival is at Ball Park Village (it runs through the whole weekend).  Yeah Beer.

Or head to Culinaria for Sips in the City.  A suggested $5.00 donation gets you appetizers, a glass of wine and a premium beer.  Culinaria is located at 315 N. 9th Street.

Saturday June 16th: OK, so this one is not quite downtown, but it just simply had to be included in things to do this weekend.  Star Clipper is having a Pizza Party at the Tivoli Theater on Delmar with two screenings of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Awesome!!

Monday June 18th: Ever since reading about Hamburger Mary’s, I’ve wanted to go.  Well, dinner with a friend Monday night offered the perfect excuse.  Plus it is Big Girl Charity Bingo night!!  $1.00 a card hosted by drag queens and all proceeds go to charity and SWEET POTATO FRIES!!! As their website states “This ain’t your church bingo.”

If you are looking for something to do before any Wednesday Cardinals game or any Wednesday now through August, go to Wednesday Night Out, downtown’s weekly happy hour with 19 participating bars and restaurants including: Copia, Mosaic, Lucas Park Grill, Tin Can Tavern and Grill.  Drink and food specials from 4p - 7p.

 

Now you know where I’ll be. Where will you be?

Comic Books and Cool Nerdy Stuff in U City

By on July 25, 2011 in Pop Culture, Retail Therapy, St. Louis City

I love ZOMBIES!!!  Nearly anything zombie and my newest obsession is The Walking Dead comic books…ahem, I mean graphic novels…..whatever, I love them.  The TV show got me intrigued and a visit to the coolest comic book store I have ever entered got me to buy them and my step son got me excited to read them.  WAAAAAYYY better than the TV show!!

What comic book store you ask?  Why, it’s Star Clipper in University City.  Click on the website, you know you want to.  It is clean, it is not dingy, it does not smell funny.  The staff is cool and not the stereotypical acne covered overweight nerd that you have stuck in your mind from too many bad impressions on TV of a comic book store.

They of course have comic books, new ones, old ones, rare ones.  They also have some funky art in the back of the store, awesomely odd toys, a fantastic funky T-shirt collection.  Best of all, at least to me, is the quarter machine selection (alas, nothing costs just one quarter).

If you are into superheroes or zombies, Marvel or DC, a gift for a child in your life or the child in your heart you MUST check this place out!!!!
