Although I wouldn’t want to detract from the groundbreaking work of Highway 61 contributor/resident frozen desert theoretician Gabe Bullard, I must ask: “Does anyone want coffee with their dessert?”  While we have you over for Sunday dinner tonight, we thought we share some more appetizers and pass some links your way.  In other words, here’s some more links with your coffee.

• Sure, we’ve been talking about tasty city water in our coffee_links for months now, but what about the water in your bottle?  Now in the last week we’ve learned that Aquafina is basically the same drink, confirming what we already knew.
• Further congesting our blogroll this past week – “It Is what It Is” (aka f0xyr0xy) blog is now CourtneyWatson.net, we laughed along with STL Rising, and waited for an update to STLFlimWire.
• We weren’t alone in updating our blogroll either – Commonspace introduced us to the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra blog, and 52nd City shone light unto mp3 blog YourStandardLife.com .
• You might be interested in learning about the unique blues music history of our namesake.  That had us updating our About page while singing the St. Louis Blues once again for Bessie.
• We’re sorry that we wrote about the Reel Big Fish/Less Than Jake show only after it had apparently sold out.  Of course, you’ll always know about events in the pipeline by checking out our event calendar (also conveniently located at the bottom of the right column).  And in case you did make it out and we didn’t run into you, why not share your photos of the event (via FlickR) or your personal account with other folks who attended the show.  Consider this another web 2.0 reminder.
• When you’re fighting for a cause, do not doubt the effectiveness of a huge prop in bringing attention to it(also helps your article).
• St. Louis through another person’s eyes along another notable highway/route.  But don’t call it progress, or at least stop detouring and do something about it.
• Keep St. Louis underground :P  St. Louis isn’t slow – it’s just so much weirder than Austin, that its popular culture is the embodiment of subculture, thusly rendering it unrecognizable to the passive visitor.
• When I’m busy blogging, I’d like to try ordering Chinese delivery online sometime soon.

And having come full circle through our meal, we’ll have to try this again at your place next week.  If you make the coffee, I’ll bring the links.
