"Leland's Travels & Tours" Should be a documentary about not only one of the finest musicians in the world but also one of the kindest as he shares his touring & musical life. Everyone can learn something from watching him and how he treats others. Thank you, Lee

A brand-new music club built on a foundation of solid rock and roll. The first built from-the-ground-up performance venue in the Midwest in over twenty years. 52,000 square feet constructed specially for live music… with every detail designed for the performer and the audience.  The industrial style of The Factory takes cues from old factories and manufacturing spaces with appointments like weathered wood, open metalwork stairs, exposed brick, industrial lighting fixtures and polished concrete.   Inside, the audience will find a great view of the 60-foot-wide stage from every seat.  Outside, concertgoers will find the location convenient (immediately off I-64) and safe with free, expansive and lighted parking lots.  The Factory has a capacity of 3,000, but with its unique, movable partitions different seating configurations can be created - offering tremendous floor plan flexibility - ranging from 2,350-person seated shows to 610-person seated dinners to intimate gatherings of any size.  Located in St. Louis’ upscale community of Chesterfield, The Factory is one of the anchors in the new entertainment complex - The District. The Factory is surrounded by restaurants, shops and entertainment options designed to appeal to everyone.

Confirmed LEE, Kinky is ten pages from the back next to Kevin Nealon(separate pics). I forgot how much Joy this book brings. Love seeing your MOM AND DAD!!!!!! Chip off the ole block LEE! RIP KINKY...REST EASY!

[@steven_scattergood]

It is a great feeling to sit here at breakfast and feel like I am thousands of miles away and walking around with everyone else. I can’t remember the last time I used stairs and that was surreal. Thank you for the walk Lee and helping us to feel a part of everything. Enjoy the gig and cheers to everyone.☮️

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

Interesting the way the brain works. Something will come on TV that would once have struck me as "hey! That looks like a nice walk!" now has my brain going "are those people really going to do all that walking?". (Fortunately I'm not a Muslim: looks like climate change means that more people are going to have to get in touch with the second way of thinking).

[@steven_scattergood]

⁠​⁠@@SoundsFair--M-and-JI have watched a number of documentaries on people doing ‘pilgrimage walks’ in Spain and other places and noticing adversities being challenged and beaten. It is funny how the brain does works and how it controls more than we consciously know. Interesting how certain specialists use reality headsets to let people experience things without physically going anywhere and they call that therapy.

[@SoundsFair--M-and-J]

@@steven_scattergood I packed in as much travel as possible before reproducing, but the KZbin age means that you can get a good view/understanding of all kinds of places today that you would have had to do the Happy Wanderer routine on to get a grasp of back then.

[@steven_scattergood]

@@SoundsFair--M-and-JIt certainly is cheaper and easier to travel by KZbin and probably a little safer. Finding the little gems is like discovering the pot at the end of the rainbow.

Wow! 2:35 Is that real brick or faux brick wall paneling? 52,000 sq. ft. of building !!! That industrial style of architecture fits with rock music/shows.

[@nmd14723]

Is that Russ's doppelgänger in the thumbnail ?

Oh man! Kinky too. 💙 ...and the Earth Wind and Fire horn player. I'm glad there's a cool mirror ball, and an ice cream machine. Wildly curious about what Russ is gonna tell. Relieved he thinks it a happy thing. Must be something he's gonna show you online... ❤😊 I just got back from racing with the heat index. I made it back encasing the banana popsicles in a fort of frozen food in a paper bag. Met a new dog, and his person on the way back as well. Sweet peeps. Jake & Doug. ...and the RO water machines were getting cleaned. ...One of those guys filled my gallon. Also heard a friend Rodney pop up, as I was figuring out how to position the full water jug which was, tricky, and he said he was on his motorcycle today, or he'd try to get me to load my tetris flotilla onto his truck. I said I did a crazy thing but thought I could make it. Just had to stay at parade speed, after getting through the crazy intersection. So glad school is still out till Summester II, starts at ACU. Glad the little kids are out at the moment too, because it takes the wild parent drivers out of the peak time for pushing me out of the crosswalk. I heard one back up today, while I waited for oncoming parallel to Red Rover me over. 💕🎉🎏Whew❣️ I can't climb the grills of these newer cars. 🧗‍♀️Thank goodness I didn't have to 🤺today. 🧘‍♀️

Chesterfield Outlet Mall Lee! The flood of 1993, the levee about 1/4 mile to your west broke. Had that mall been there at the time, you likely would have been standing in a couple of feet of water when you were on the 2nd level overlooking the parking lot.
