Highlighted Event

chelsea Chelsea Handler Book Signing: To start, Chelsea Handler will be in St. Louis this Saturday for her Uganda Be Kidding Me stand-up comedy tour at Scottrade Center. Tickets start at $60. I love Chelsea Handler! Her books are hilarious and her latest, “Uganda Be Kidding Me,” is no exception. But the most awesome part is that before her show, Chelsea is hosting a book signing at the Left Bank Books downtown location. Tickets are $30 and include one copy of “Uganda Be Kidding Me.” If you already own the book, like me, you can just sell the extra on eBay or something. $30 is a small price to pay to meet Chelsea either way.

Place: Left Bank Books – 321 N 10th St

Jessica

Doesn’t know how to cook and survives pretty much on macaroni and cheese and pizza, so naturally, loves to eat out at restaurants. However, one day when she is married and has a family to cook for, she would love to take cooking classes and learn awesome skills like the chefs on Iron Chef America...as long as she doesn't have to clean the dishes afterwards.
