At least it was only Blues fans

Actually it was Cardinals fans.



I was safetly at home about 15 miles south east of there. We saw all the bad weather coming and the last thing on our mind was to hang out in a crowded vinyl and aluminum tent...

Sorry to hear this story. The team will get blamed somehow.

That bar is owned by Annie and Artie, good friends of mine that I graduated high school with. The ropes simply snapped from the high winds. I'm pretty sure they said the autopsy revealed the guy died from blunt force trauma to the head, presumably from one of the poles.

Does anyone have an update on the condition of the tent?

Physically it has a few rips and tears, and will need new tie ropes.



Psychologically, it's all fucked up.
