It happens today

Yes, today. Drop everything. Rush. Panic. Beat the crowds. Today is the only day in the history of the human race, the only day EVER that there will be a release/signing party for my book The Making of an Icon: The Dreamers, The Schemers, and the Hard Hats Who Built the Gateway Arch. Grab $21.50 for a book, plus some more for the best eating ever, and head to the Tavern of Fine Arts, 313 Belt Avenue from 2 to 5 p.m. today. When your grandchildren ask “Where were you when Jim Merkel held the release/signing party for his book about the Gateway Arch?” you don’t want to tell them, “I was cutting the grass.”
