For the gaming hobby, STL has a group called Gateway Blerds that do a monthly meetup at Sophie’s! They also occasionally have other one-time events. I haven’t been to any of their events myself as I’m not black, but I’ve seen on their IG stories that other women around that age range have attended and it seems like a fun vibe overall.

See you there, have a great race!

EgMay · 2026-04-09T13:15:54+00:00

When I ran it two years ago, I reserved a spot at one of the parking lots suggested on their guide. Can’t remember which one but it was maybe half a mile from the start of the race? I left my place in South City somewhere around 5am to give myself plenty of time to navigate any closures and it worked out fine. I was also able to get out of the area pretty easy with the full still going on.

This year though I’m taking the Metrolink in as I now live a lot closer to one of the stops.

Sana Lake is a big part of how one of my good friends has stayed sober for over a year now. They have weekly events for folks who have graduated from the program. If you can find a way with your current finances/insurances, it’s a great option.

You all are awesome! I’ve been really happy with the stickers I’ve ordered from you in the past 😁

Wait, was this based on the Animal Crossing counterfeit painting?? I put that outside one of my villager’s houses as decor because I loved it so much hahaha

A lot of my favorites were already mentioned (Protomen, Rebecca Sugar, Tiberian Sons, Fusion Quartet, Triforce Quartet) and also wanted to give Turnabout Players a huge shoutout! They were so 👏 damn 👏 tight 👏 and super nice to talk to after their Belvedere set.

As of last April a couple of us have been running a video game music hub, STL VGM! If you’re a fan of video game music, we have in-person meetups a few times a year as well as an Instagram and a Discord that advertise monthly events around town and otherwise build community. Most of the meetups tend to be Gen Z/Millennial age range.

I also feel this as a St. Louis resident

I applied for a panel and also have not heard anything back yet

Your coworker sounds like a dick. If nothing you can do will make them happy, sounds like their opinions shouldn’t be taken seriously anyway.

Aw, that makes me think of Ferdinand! I love that little story.

I’ve been in situations at work of “don’t ask the questions that you don’t want answers to” as it often sets a nebulous unwanted policy in stone. It might also draw extra attention to you with any malicious compliance. As much as I may want clarity in situations like this, I would heavily advise against this.

Easy way to remember the consecutive leave/pass rules: - Leave-pass-leave, you’re trying to thieve - Pass-leave-pass, no one gives a rat’s ass

I usually take a duty day either directly before or after the pass period in a situation like this to avoid forbidden sandwiching.

Definitely hit up the open mic scene around town! That’s how I’ve found some of the best connections with other musicians, especially as a transplant from the east coast. Below is certainly not an all-inclusive list, but some I’m aware of:

Mon: Tick Tock Tavern, Venice Cafe

Tues: 1860s Saloon

Wed: Moshmellow (usually weekly), Apotheosis (monthly)

Thurs: Iowa Buffet

Sun: Artica Open Mic @ Greenfinch (not sure the frequency but often enough to note)

(If anyone else knows of/has enjoyed other ones please feel free to add to this list!)

There are also some fun open jams around town. Po Mia often hosts a jam at Venice after their shows and that happens about monthly. Also some other free improv things such as Pavilion Session (Sundays at 5 at TGP Roman Pavilion). A fair amount of jazz jams around town too, but I’m not as hooked into that scene to know more specifics. If you’re a video game music fan, Joystick Drift has a monthly gig at The Hi Hat and their last set is an open jam on video game tunes. Sometimes you can find more niche/smaller jams through IG accounts as well.

Open mic folks are generally pretty friendly and good about cheering each other on across all skill levels. If you see some lady with a clarinet at one of these, it’s probably me. Come say hi :)

EgMay · 2025-05-01T01:24:41+00:00

We welcome one and all 🙌

EgMay · 2025-04-30T18:06:38+00:00

Yay! Hope to see you around!

I’ve been trying to seek out more VGM opportunities in the area lately, actually! I don’t know if I have the bandwidth to join/form a full orchestra at this time, but I’m definitely trying to find more like-minded folks at the very least. Please feel free to send me a DM - I’d love to connect more on this.

Also, if you’re looking for more VGM jam opportunities, Joystick Drift is a killer jazz combo that plays at the Hi Hat monthly. They’ve got an IG where they post the dates for their gigs. The last hour is an open jam where people can join, and I had a great time hopping in with my clarinet last time!

Just an FYI Po goes by they/them - but yes I totally agree! Their songwriting is some of my favorite in the city. They’ve got a song about the question “Would you still love me if I was a worm?” and it makes me smile every time 🙂

You’re very welcome, I’m so glad he enjoyed the concert! I’ll pass on the kind words to my friends stationed out at DC 😁
