if you're on tour and go to cleveland, you can get into the rock and roll hall of fame for free. just give them a cd and say "i'm from _____, i heard i get in for free" and they give you a pass.

That's quite a tour you've set up. Looking forward to meeting you when you swing through IL.

Can't wait to see you in Buffalo, Aitch! Not much we could do, but hell, I'll think of something.

It'll be August. Go down to the river and swat flies.

Paul, I always stay at the Hotel Allegro when I'm in Chicago. http://www.placestostay.com/hotels/united_states/illinois/chicago/allegro_hotel_chicago.23595.html?hotel_id=23595&FE=10840&MI=IK-pr23595

The Hotel Monaco is nice also. Not sure what 'reasonably priced' means anymore!

Neither do I, Noel. Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Anchor Bar & a Bills game!
Let me know what kind of things you plan on doing in Toronto and I'll give you the local point of view.

Wow, Howard, two full months! Don't forget to make a note of where you leave your car.

I'll look into St. Louis.

In St. Louis, one of my favorite places is the Missouri Botanical Gardens (http://www.mobot.org). And Busch Stadium, which they just knocked down and replaced with a NEW Busch Stadium (which is built to look 100 years old--but whatever). It looks like the Cardinals (baseball) will be in town the last week in September--can't do summer in the US without at least one baseball game (www.stlcardinals.com).

If you're into architecture, a great site on St. Louis is http://www.builtstlouis.net/arch.html.

And make sure you hit a White Castle.
