My super-freaky Google-fu tactics have garnered the following from Art St. Louis regarding ASL XXII:

This is so exciting! Only TWO people I've ever heard of! I love our local art scene, but a body just gets SICK and TIRED of seeing the SAME NAMES over and OVER and over again. Celebrate change with us this Saturday night from 7:00 to 9:00 at Art St. Louis, 917 Locust Street, the third floor loft, I think. My impeccable Google-fu also revealed the following: Good Free Food!
