Sloup #13 Labeebee's @ Los Caminos + Birthday

It's been a year and it's our birthday (!) This Sunday February 27th, 6-8 pm @ Los Caminos, 2649 Cherokee

Please don't miss Sloup #13. Labeebee's Mid-East Cafe is surprising us with a soup from the secret soup society, Black Bear is blessing us with their overabundance of bread, and Los Caminos is hosting with their usual effortless killer combo of sophistication and warmth.

We are serious about your Sloup applications. Make them lose importantly and win gracefully. Make them talk.

After Sloup #12 at CAM, we don't know what to expect. Except goodness.

Dance party to follow

Vote for Firecracker this Sunday at SLOUP!

Get your s(l)oup -- and your vote -- on this Sunday at SLOUP. 

$10 gets you a bowl of tasty soup and the ability to vote to support Cherokee Street homies the Firecracker Press in their effort to ... well, shoot.  They can explain it better than I:

The crew at The Firecracker Press are teaming up with Kim Wardenburg (Artist/Printmaker), Carlos Dominguez (owner of Latino Americana), and Ana Rivera (of El Chico Bakery) to make fully printed, edible tacos this year during the SCG printmaker’s conference in March. We’ve been collecting stories from Cherokee Street businesses and residents in order to develop imagery that will be printed on tortillas, cooked, and made to order while you wait. The goal of the project is to build bridges between cultures in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in St. Louis, Cherokee Street. Stop by SLOUP on Sunday, January 30th from 2-4pm at the Contemporary Museum in St. Louis to vote for our proposal and help make this project possible.

Visit Firecracker's blog for more information and to read their proposal.
