There was a "devil with a blue dress on" in Edwardsville, Illinois last night.

Mitch Ryder, without the Detroit Wheels, was in concert last night at the Wildey Theater in downtown Edwardsville. The 66-year-old Michigan native stopped to sign a CD for my collection and pose for this photo as he arrived at the venue.

And a hello to Goldie Gholson, a member of Ryder's touring band, who I chatted with before the show. Goldie's son, Doug, was a member of the Springfield, IL-based band, Mr. Opporknockity.

Here's a shot with Food Network star Guy Fieri during a book signing stop at Left Bank Books in St. Louis on May 29. Fieri was promoting his newest cookbook, Guy Fieri Food, while also in town for his Cooking Roadshow later that evening. While no personal photos were allowed, his staff snapped this picture before Fieri signed a copy of the book. It's got lots of great recipes and I've got several on my list.
