What Would You Do? ST. LOUIS

Our Two Weeks in St. Louis By Ben Moss
PhotobucketWell, we're all done in St. Louis! Here's a recap of our two weeks at The Fabulous Fox and in the Gateway to the West!

First of all, we could not believe how massive, ornate, and beautiful the Fox Theater was! At somewhere around 4100 seats, it was a bit intimidating the first few nights, but we finally got used to it. One day, the house manager took us on a tour of the entire building - we got to walk around practically on the CEILING and look down into the house... not really for you guys who are afraid of heights! But if you are interested, I'm pretty sure that they offer tours a few times a week.

One day we took a visit up to the arch, which was a great view, and also a weird sensation... we were literally standing on top of NOTHING. But that's how arches work. So it wasn't so unsafe... just a little different!

[Blogmaster Note: Here's a video of the experience produced and shot by Christy Altomare. It was the second most popular suggestion from our fans]:



[Blogmaster Note cont: Christy also took and produced some hilare backstage videos at the Fox Theatre as well. Try not to bust a gut laughing]:

Then, we went to the City Museum. Let me just say that this is probably the most fun night I've ever had. The city museum is like a big discovery zone... you crawl around through tubes, there's a 7-story slide, and the enchanted caves, where it's dark and dusty and you have to crawl towards the light to make your way through! If you live anywhere in the St. Louis area, I think you're obligated to go and enjoy. If you don't live in the St. Louis area... it's almost worth it just to make the trip for that.

[Blogmaster Note: City Museum was the number ONE most popular suggestion from our fans. Thank you, guys! You really know our cast! Everyone had a blast. Here are personal pictures taken by Anthony Lee Medina along with his captions of the experience. Go to our Flickr Group to see them all. Anthony's running commentary makes you feel like you're right there with them! http://www.flickr.com/groups/springawakeninggallery]

Was St. Louis not a blast??? I love living there...there's so much to do! I must say that I enjoyed The Arch video because although I live in STL, I have NEVER been up in The Arch! I think it's time to go.
City Museum is definitely the perfect place for all of you guys to go! It's a crazy place to just go...CRAZY! Hope you all had a wonderful time!
I enjoyed the show more than you all know! Thank you!
