FAB went to visit with "eye4got" so he would be in town for Alton's appearance and booksigning. This is another stop on his "Feasting on Asphalt - The River Run Book Tour."I'll let eye4got fill you in on the rest

Hi everyone, it's me - eye4got,
FAB came to visit St. Louis.
Our first stop was the warehouse at my 2nd job.
An apron just wasn't going to cut it there.So, we got him some proper safety gear.
(Like the hat?)
This alcohol may be 190 proof but it is not good eats (or drinks).
Is this the secret ingredient that gives Twinkies their 20-year shelf life?
FAB helped me ship some orders.
This is a street sign near my house. There wasn't any place to park near the intersection so I had to stop on the shoulder about a quarter mile away and walk up.
Eye got some strange looks while taking this picture.
Mystic, Tena, Steve, Daniel, FAB, Kristina and Itchyfoot at the Thai Restaurant.
FAB was surprisingly adept at using chopsticks and he liked his first taste of Thai food.
After dinner, Itchyfoot and Eye made our way down to Ted Drewe's for some frozen custard.
FAB remembered seeing Ted Drewes spotlighted on Alton's Feasting on Asphalt show during season 1.
The next morning, the group met for brunch. After all that ice cream the night before - coffee and orange juice seemed a healthy choice for FAB. (Well, at least the juice part.)
Tena and FAB smile for the camera.
Little Daniel summed up our experience nicely.
FAB never seems to pass up an opportunity to stop and smell the roses - er, tulips.*FAB waves to Honeycomb and give her permission to release the stranglehold she has had on the Groundhog since February.*
Waiting to be let in to the book signing, we chatted with Amy whose husband was going through military orientation prior to being deployed. Eye told her about the GEFP and invited her to join. She seemed like she'd fit in well with us. FAB says her hubby later joined up - soldiermedic.
Next we headed up to a private reception for friends of the bookstore and their friends. (Kudos to JJ.)
FAB poses with Rotten and Jugglergirl.
After the private reception Alton had a little Q and A.FAB says "Alton spoke to the masses."
Yep, this is a former church.
Alton recognized Flat AB.
And, finally here's a shot of the 3 of us - Alton, Flat AB...and eye4got.Thanks for the recap and fantastic photos, eye4got!
While Flat AB was off exploring St. Louis, his brother Flat BA, headed off to California. Alton will be hosting the Monterey Bay Aquarium's events on sustainable seafood choices, "Cooking for Solutions" this weekend, May 15-17, 2008.
There are rumors that Alton will be "swimmin' with da fishes"
and FBA just can't wait to see that!
