tomorrow night is the great forest park balloon race opener, the balloon glow.  it's an awesome event that will be held this year in central field from 7-8:30 p.m.  be there or be square.  the actual race will be saturday from 12-6:30.

if you ever have the opportunity to take a hot air balloon ride, it's one of the most peaceful experiences you will ever have (landing aside).  adam and i were fortunate enough to get free rides during the show-me state games while we were at mizzou.  i'll have to dig up some of our photos.
