52nd City

Ron Jeremy's Favorite Town?

Known, of course, for the unlikely friendship he developed with Tammy Faye Messner on the reality show "The Surreal Life" - as well as his, um, large body of work in the adult film industry - Ron Jeremy's transcended the cult status he, er, long enjoyed. To see the quite-well-done documentary "Porn Star" is to realize that Jeremy has a considerable, one might say, work ethic.

For reasons not apparently clear to 52nd City, Jeremy is constant visitor to St. Louis, making personal appearances at dance clubs, adult emporia and special events. When dining around town - Kitchen K has been a regular spotting zone - fans line up for autographs and call one another on the cell. In recent days, it's become quite the sport to find Jeremy on location in the wilds of our town.

On an already-crowded social calendar of Saturday, September 3, Jeremy will be appearing in town again, if we're to believe the e-mail kicked about by local rock band The Electric. On that night, they, LoFreq, Craig Daddy & the Carbombs, the 7 Shot Screamers, Blonde Alibi and perhaps most appropriately, the Pubes, will be playing at Downtown's Creepy Crawl, with Jeremy on hand for a meet-and-greet.

And, as seen in "Porn Star," Jeremy's actually a really nice guy. Don't be shy in asking him to put pen to your favorite Jeremy title from your home DVD collection. After all, he's there to serve the fans.
