At a kickoff event this morning for the much-vaunted Eats Bridge project (part of the overall Celebrate 2004 hootenanny/shindig/throwdown), Mayor Slay and Peter Sortino spoke of the importance of events like Eats Bridge and RiverSplash in attracting that elusive demographic, young people, to our town.
Probably because I'm fast slipping out of the target demographic, it just amuses me to no end to watch middle-aged white guys chase hipsters. Sortino summed up the approach by saying: "Some of the things young people like more than anything else are parties and special events."
Bring it!

I heard that young people like the rock 'n' roll. We should have the Beach Boys play a free concert. That'd be, um, rad. Did I say that right?
"I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was, now what I'm with isn't it. And what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me."

I know I haven't followed St. Louis politics for a while (or, now that I think about it, ever), but ... Mayor Slay? Is he horribly scarred and carrying around a huge butcher knife to city council meetings?
