Meet me in St. Louis

I'm still in St. Louis. I like it here a lot. There are a lot of fun places to hang out. Kind of where the "hipsters" go as some would call them. And yes, the Vice Presidential Debate was held here two days ago. I didn't get to go but it was interesting to see all of it happening. I did get to watch it on a HUGE screen though.
Yesterday, we had a screening at a high school about 20 minutes from St. Louis. After the screening, we the team and I went to dinner at Steak and Shake. My $3 meal was tasty- Kids Meal Chicken Strips. After dinner, we went to a Halloween store and I bought a white sparkly fairy wand. I'm planning on being a snow fairy for Halloween, but with out any wings (I have no money for wings.) Later that night, we all went to Skate Galaxy and we pulled the whole..."Hey, we work for a non profit, can we get a deal on admission and skate rentals?" And of course... the lovely young man said of course. We got in for $3 instead of $8. We happily skated all through the night surrounded by colorful flashy lights.
Today, we have yet some more free time so our agenda consists of: Zoo (FREE), Modern Art Museum (FREE), go up inside the Arch ($5?), and maybe go back to the City Museum (FREE because the girl supports Invisible Children.)
We leave legendary St. Louis on Sunday night and head up to Kansas City. Quite exciting because Kansas city is beautiful.
Anyway, fun times. Things are getting better. I'm not that lonely anymore. I still miss everyone like CRAZY! But things are going good. We are having fun and raising A LOT of money for the our secondary school in Uganda. Oh, by the way... If you guys were not aware... We are on the road and raising money for our partner school. Each roadie team is partnered up with a different school in Uganda. So our school is called Gulu Secondary School.
Here is a short 3 minute update clip that we always show after our main movie called "Go!"
