My Interests

The FaFa Gallery, Jim Florentine, Hater's Ball, the Rounders, Painted Skateboards, the SCP, The Best 100 Black Films (Ever), the Trip Fives, the 810 Zone, and performance poetry.

I'd like to meet:

Scenemakers, but not just hipsters. Artists, musicians, filmmakers, comedians, book club presidents, environmentalists, race car drivers, cowboys, poets, activists, yoga instructors. Anyone doing anything in Kansas City.Want your event posted at pitch.com? Send the who, what, when, where and how much here. If you're lucky, you might even get written up.

Music:

Anyone who's playing around Kansas City.

Movies:

Local filmmakers.

Television:

I'm all about helping people get out of the house. But I won't pass up a bar with a bigscreen.

Books:

Local authors and out-of-towners passing through on a book tour.

Heroes:

The journalist types who put me together every week.

Gutterballs

Son, how can I put this? Sometimes, when a cable installer loves a half-naked subscriber very much, he slides off his tool belt and gives her a "hug." That's the kind of love Karl Hungus had for Bunny...

A Veggie Tale

Do Something Cool This Weekend

--You know how 96.5 The Buzz takes a few songs from the ´90s and plays them over and over and over? Lately, every time I turn on the supposedly modern rock radio station, it's "Popular" by Nada Surf....

Why Didn't I Take a Camera?

I didn't take a camera to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Brookside (blame it on the head cold that had me sprawled out on the couch for the rest of that day). But here are a few of the highlights I o...
