St. Louis is Awesome, Penny Arcade agrees!

Packing up and coming home. See you in 3 and a half hours, St. Louis.

I shall leave you with this penny arcade blog excerpt:

"Book tours, though: yow. When you go to New York, it doesn't really surprise anyone. The position, and one need not state it aloud for it to be well understood, is that people go to New York. It is a destination. Things were altogether different in St. Louis.
I do not mean to say that love was insufficient in that Newest of Yorks, which would be churlish in the extreme. That would be extreme churling, an activity which I understand is being considered for the Winter Games. What I mean to say is that many of the people we met in St. Louis were almost bewildered that we had appeared there, gazing upon us as though we were terrifying apparitions, our spectral flesh scored by the grisly manner of our demise. It was equal parts appreciation and shock, as though we'd just shot a tarantula off their shoulder. It was our unalloyed pleasure to come and see you, and no special thanks are required - only our apologies that we had not come sooner, and that our visit was of such meager duration."
