St. Louis boasts a multitude of outdoor entertainment in the summer, most of which is free. We favor the Whitaker Music Festival at the Botanical Garden and The Muny free seats.
Last week, we ventured out to our first Muny show of the season, The Sound of Music. The first few shows really didn’t appeal to me this year, and, though I wanted to see Cats, that week ended up being pretty busy and it just didn’t happen.
I insisted on biking, despite the fact that it made a late night even later. The actual time difference between biking and driving there is pretty minimal for us, but I know the biking will leave me too keyed up to fall asleep immediately. Ah well, we enjoyed the show, and riding home under a full moon was worth it. It’s hard to properly enjoy the night sky from inside a car.
Anyhow, we scored some good tickets to Footloose tonight. Actual tickets, not free seats! The only problem? 101 degrees. Actual temperature. Add in heat index, and we’re looking at 110+. Does The Muny have a policy against nudity?

OH MY — and here I hesitated to drive my CAR today, it’s so hot, and you’re wondering about a bike. :0)
We did end up biking 🙂 Since we had tickets and didn’t need to arrive early to secure decent free seats, we headed out as late as possible (7:30pm). I enjoyed the ride home more than the ride there, but the real endurance stars of the night were the performers, up there dancing and singing in costume in the heat!
