Cheech and Chong "lit up St. Louis" last night as they brought their American tour to the Pageant.

I caught up with the comedy duo as they arrived yesterday morning at Lambert St. Louis International Airport on a flight from Kansas City. Both cheerfully posed for photos and signed multiple items for the six collectors in attendance, even though their manager tried to get them to stop signing autographs. Both Cheech and Chong ignored their manager, with Cheech at one point telling the manager to "just relax."





Later in the afternoon, I met Grammy-award winning comedian Lewis Black as he exited the Four Seasons Hotel on his way to a benefit show (Tony LaRussa's Stars to the Rescue Benefit) at Chaifetz Arena. I had gotten his autograph at a previous meeting, but was unable to get a posed photo. Black is up for another Grammy this year for his disk, Anticipation.
