It’s been ages since I’ve been to St. Louis. I printed out my usual pages of maps, which necessitated a midnight trip to Walmart for ink, before realizing that I have a GPS now. Thirty seconds of typing in directions and I was good to go. <\/p>\n

The Indie Craft Revolution was in a historic building<\/a> at Oak Knoll Park<\/a>, in Clayton. Mo’s Mouse Market<\/a> (3M?) was right inside the front door, which was awesome. Not so awesome was the $5000 painting hanging behind it: I had a hard time remembering not to lean up against the wall!<\/p>\n

After some light assistance and taking in the art scene, I went to the zoo. The overcast weather might have made the animals unwilling to hang out in their enclosure: the River’s Edge<\/a> had an atrocious walk-to-animals ratio. The indoor exhibits were a better bet: and my magic camera took some surprisingly good photos:

The big cat section<\/a> was buzzing, possibly purring, with activity though. Four tigers<\/a> were milling around in one exhibit. A snow leopard was chasing its own tail until it fell over. A jaguar was chewing on a cow’s leg and carrying it around. It was pretty neat.<\/p>\n

\"Jaguar<\/a><\/p>\n

After the zoo I went back to the craft show before heading off for dinner. I had some great Indian food at House of India<\/a> (Yelp.com’s top rated restaurant<\/a> in the University City area!) and then went down Delmar<\/a> to Star Clipper<\/a>. I ended the trip with a barley flavored bubble tea (really good!) and drove back to Columbia. <\/p>\n
