On a calm day under the Gateway Arch I unpacked Big Red for perhaps its last performance. The suit shows the wounds and scars from many exciting performances. My first performance in St. Louis served as a fitting tribute to a joyful companion. Luckily the wind cooperated and allowed the suit to bound gracefully around the city.

A group of spectators awaited the inflation of the suit and more gathered as the red cones thrust into the sky. After spinning around the Arch grounds I headed toward the Old Courthouse on Market Street. Security guards at the courthouse did not know if they should take pictures with their cell phones or call for backup as I climbed the stairs to smash into the tall columns. They decided to smile and take pictures. Perplexed businessmen going to lunch attempted to dodge between parking meters and cars as I confronted them on the sidewalk.

I turned on 16th Street toward Washington Avenue. As the streets narrowed I abandoned the sidewalk and took a lane of traffic when necessary. A sign caught one of the spikes and I needed to tie it of to keep the suit inflated. As a I approached the river another sign attached to a lamppost tore a large hole in the suit and I let it deflate.

Later in the afternoon, Andrew James of the Good Citizen Gallery hosted a casual meet and greet for me. There I took out You Wear What I Wear and ran around Gravois. I enjoyed meeting everyone at the gallery. Thank you to Andrew for the reception and than you to everyone that came out for the performance. I hope you enjoyed it.
