Kevin C. Johnson has covered the St. Louis' music and nightlife scene for the past decade. 
Who would ever thought the STL could offer so much in one weekend. Who needs Chicago on the Fourth? Well actually… but thinking of all the parties this holiday weekend has to offers raises this question Kevin: whatever happened to THE POWER COUPLE? Have they already turned into the biggest flop/over-hype of the year? This seems to be a perfect weekend for them to show us what they have to offer but then maybe the competition is too steep–particularly with proven winners such as those you mentioned already in the mix and doing the game well. I thought THE power couple was billed, by others and you, as the next best thing to hit STL. Have they done anything since their bit at the Moolah? It does get hot in STL and you know what they say you should do if it gets too hot…
