Today was absolutely awesome, mostly. I sold, sold, sold both my book about the Arch and Beer, Brats, and Basement: St. Louis Germans at the German Cultural Society’s Maifest. I don’t know how many people said they showed up because they saw me on Fox 2 this morning. I had some great conversation and came back with a horrible case of sunburn from sitting at an unshaded table facing west for six hours on a sunny afternoon.
Awesome Day
