I'm an All-Star

St. Louis is the best. Well known as a "baseball town" and immersed in all things sports, the 2009 All-Star game is in this great city. I was gone in Chicago this weekend, but returned just in time for the Summer classic. Yesterday was the HomeRun Derby, and after debating big time about forking over the cash for a ticket, Kacey and I sucked it up and scored some of the last remaining tickets released by the Cardinals website. At 1pm we bought the tickets, and picked them up at 4pm. Some sightings include:

Nelly driving to his own concert in his Escalade
Run DMC performing at Lumen
David Cook
Derek Jeter
Whitey Herzog
The Clydesdales :)

I'm so glad we decided to do it. Who knows when I'll get a chance like this again, especially in my own hometown!! I'm struggling today though because I have so much work to catch up on, so I'm not sure I'll have the opportunity to get back downtown to watch the All-Star game... but then again, I woke up yesterday and didn't know I was going to the Derby, so never say never.
