Howdy all. Tonight's post is brought to you by a mixture of the show Pawn Stars and the song "The Other Side of Mt. Heart Attack", by Liars.
So, I am pleased to report that, after much worrying and asking for help from people on this site, I finally friended someone and, wait for it, they accepted! Huzzah!! It is time for celebrations and much merriment. I'm even getting friended by one or two people, and comments on my posts. I almost feel like I should be listening to Dashboard Confessional's song "Vindicated", but I'll be honest, I'm not in the mood for that dude's voice right now. Just saying.
Anyways, tonight I ended up venturing out to the St. Louis Art Fair. It's held annually in the Clayton area, and from what I've heard, it's one of the three best art shows in the country, and that's according to the artists who who sell their stuff there, which is pretty cool. Now, I'm not exactly the most artistic guy out there. I enjoy comic books and graphic novels, a big fan of Van Gogh, and just generally weird and interesting stuff that fits my brand of crazy. Unfortunately, most of the stuff sold at this art fair is aimed towards people with either an eclectic taste in art, or people who think they have eclectic tastes but really just have fat pockets. Still, I thought it would be cool to see what was on display.
After an hour or so of walking around and seeing some cool things, some weird things, and a lot of stuff that I just didn't really like all that much, I stumbled upon one woman's tent who had some pretty cool stuff. It was kind of outside the box stuff that had a cartoony feel to it. Now you can call me immature, but that's the kind of stuff I like. So after a lot of deliberation, I bought one. And while I wish I could tell you her name or show you a picture of the art, the piece and her business card are wrapped up for my flight on Sunday. Otherwise, I would love to post her name and a picture of it because I thought it was really cool. Hopefully come Sunday night, I'll be able to do that.
Tomorrow is my last day in St. Louis before I head back to Chicago and the real, or at the very least harder, world. I'm hoping I can enjoy it, cruise by the local record store and find some cool music, and end my stay here on a good note. And who knows, maybe I'll even friend some more people and get friended by others. Hopefully this is a trend that can keep up.

Night all, and sweet dreams or a sweeter night, depending on whether or not you're actually sleeping tonight.

I will definitely keep you posted about the con. I will be sure to take lots of pictures. I plan on taking a video camera. First times must be documented somehow. Well, in most cases. hahahaha. I am silly.
