This past weekend we held a sold out Punk Rope Workshop and demo class at the Kirkwood Y just outside St. Louis. The theme of the demo class was cartoons. The playlist included revved up versions of such favorites as Popeye the Sailor Man and Underdog and we did conditioning drills honoring Peanuts, the Simpsons, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, among others. Tim got to check out the highly acclaimed Imo’s pizza and Shana took in her first professional sporting event: a St. Louis Blues hockey game at the Scottrade Center. The Gateway Arch was impressive from afar, but sadly we didn’t have the opportunity to make the pilgrimage to the top.
