Pabst Blue Ribbon Postcard

   I am still ordering some postcards, despite many recent orders being first day covers, from E-bay.  Two more postcards arrived today. One of them was of the Pabst Blue Ribbon casino at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933. I liked it as it had an inset picture of 'The Maestro', unsure what meaning it has- then or now. But it still looks cool to me. This is number 8 on the postcards I have bought of this world's fair. There are likely some others I will order at some point, but there is so much available at this site that it can be hard to choose what to order if I want to stay within my budget each month. The other postcard was of Sportsman's Park in St. Louis as I like baseball as well. It is nice to see these old linen postcards, they have plenty of color to them.
   I did perform at an open-mic tonight, at a venue I had been to before but not in a while. It felt good to be there again, especially since the chance to perform there had been offered before. Also made it to the Chicago hot dog place, Chris and Rob's in St. Paul. Somebody tried to crack a weak joke about the way I was dressed and I said, after pausing, 'Please. You will have to do better than that, I actually do comedy'. This was as I was about to leave the place.
