about meWhen I first came to St. Louis, I searched for some type of calendar that highlighted the types of events that I would be interested in attending. |
Kristen Cornett: February 2009 Archives
And to think I thought that PBR was just a cheap beer! The PBR Built Ford Tough series is in town this weekend at Scottrade Center. My friend Erin suggested we go. Now, going to the rodeo ...
I had the opportunity to ride on one of the floats in the parade last night. It was a ton of fun! The festivities began with a procession led by Joia (pronounced joy-uh), the Mardi Gras Band. The procession started at L... Some research was done that determined that the girl scouts identify with and have a desire to work with young men and women, particularly those in their twenties. So a new young professional(yp) group was born. It's called Spectrum and is the yp group of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri. Now that the big Mardi Gras weekend is over, things are slowing down a bit. There's still quite an interesting selection to choose from this week. I'll be riding on one of the floats in the Fat Tuesday parade so I'll be sure to let you know how that goes. And although I've never been to the rodeo despite my southern roots, I'm going to check it out Friday night. I'll be sure to write about that one as well. Have a great week!
I attended my first St. Louis Mardi Gras Grand Parade Saturday. Wow! Ok, I had heard all the hype and seen the pictures, but there are just some things you just hav...
I went to the Missouri Botanical Garden a few times last summer for their Whitaker Music Festival. If you're not familiar, it's a weekly, free outdoor concert series all summer long. People ... My apologies for getting this posted a little late this week. You might have noticed I haven't been on the air the last few days. I've picked up a bit of a bug and am blogging from home. There are lots of events to choose from this week and many of them center around Mardi Gras. I didn't make it last year, but I'm going this year (at least for a few hours before I have to go to work)! I'll be sure to blog about my experience and include s...
Pamela Raymond of the Raymond Experience threw a Mardi Gras party last night at Atomic Cowboy. She's from New Orleans and decided to through a party that would educate us partygoers about some Mardi Gras History. T...
I attended opening night of Spring Awakening last night at the Fox Theatre. This is a musical unlike anything you've ever seen. First some background. This is based on a late 19th Century German play that...
The Young Friends of the St. Louis Art Museum share a desire to enhance their ... Wow! So much is going on this week, how can you choose? There are clearly lots of Valentine's themed events but with Mardi Gras right around the corner, there are lots of Mardi Gras events too! I'm going to be checking out opening night of Spring Awakening Tuesday night, so expect to get a full report on Wednesday. I have no idea what to expect but I hear it's for mature audiences only. Hmmmmm. For details on the things I've mentioned an... Did you know the library has a young professionals group? It's called the Young Literati of the SLPLF (St. Louis Public Library Foundation). It is a diverse group of young professionals ages 20s - 40s. Its mission is to enhance the life and vitality of the Library by supporting its programs and building relationships with others who share a passion for the Library's work. Here's something else I bet you didn't know: the Library has ...
I'll be completely honest with you here, I've never seen an opera. I was always afraid I would not be able to understand what was going on. I'm all about musicals, but those are in English! I was happy to learn that Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) seems a lot more approachable. I'm going to have to go now! OTSL is a national company, known for it's spring festival of productions showcasing the best young singers in America, acc... Well, the groundhog saw his shadow this morning...6 more weeks of winter! Maybe that's why the event options are a little on the slim side this week. Read on for my top picks this week as well as everything you need to know about them. Thursday February 5: Schlafly Aleympics-Held at local bars and restaurants where "athletes" compete in several feats ... |
