Bartenders Challenge
By JEN CHEN During my lunch break on Thursday, I stopped at the CVS at 39th and Main for some nail polish. I couldn’t find the color I wanted (silver), and I was dejectedly heading out to my car when I saw Alesia Garner. Her dress is really cute – love the colorful ruffles at the hem — and I…
By JASON HARPER Don’t know about you, but I had a G-G-GOOD time last night. If you saw me at any point, you know this to be true. Here are some photos what I made. Check back on Monday for way better shots from professional photo makers Forester and Gintowt. Tap on photo with magic pointing hand for slide show….
%{}% By CHRIS PACKHAM Chariots of Fart: I don’t much believe in literary epiphanies. Nothing breaks the verisimilitude of a narrative faster than a passage that says, “As she gazed out of the window, suddenly, she realized her whole life had been leading up to her anal bleaching,” or whatever. And then I suddenly have my own epiphany that my…
by Nadia Pflaum Last night I met Kristin at Howl at the Moon, the dueling piano bar at the P&L District. She was sitting with a couple of her motorcycle buddies, wearing work boots (despite the dress code?), jeans, a sequined shirt and a sequined bandana. Kristin told me she bought her Harley Davidson Road King from a shop in…
Did this year’s Pitch Music Showcase not rage? It did. Here’s proof. More to come on Monday.
BY OWEN MORRIS Cameron Miller swimming strong after a meal at Winstead’s. No matter how many doctors say it’s safe to swim after eating, millions of Americans still count the minutes from their last bite until jumping in the pool. My own relatives included. At a family gathering some weeks ago, my aunt refused to let my cousins swim until…
By CAROLYN SZCZEPANSKI In June, Pride Revolution Events hosted a blow-out gathering up at Smithville Lake. Dozens of gay, lesbian, bi- and transexual campers enjoyed an evening under the stars — imbibing alcohol through beer bongs and mingling with friends as a mobile DJ pumped out music. The party was a huge success, organizers say, and the park rangers were…
By NADIA PFLAUM It was definitely time for the Kansas City Police Department to update its Policy and Procedures pages. An unnaturally observant tipster advised us to log onto the KCPD Web site and click on “Policy and Procedures” in the right-hand column. He or she – we keep things confidential around here, people – instructed us to click on…
By OWEN MORRIS It’s always sad when someone young dies, especially when a person is as talented as Ryan Torpey. Torpey was the head chef of the Brookside restaurant Swizzle until it closed last month and had also worked at Frondizi’s. His body was found on Quandary Peak in Colorado yesterday, a victim of a fall while hiking the 14,000+…
By CHRIS RASMUSSEN Watching preseason football is, to borrow from Jerry Seinfeld, like rooting for laundry. Football fans so eagerly await the season that we pay and watch the preseason, even when we know how inherently meaningless these games are. If we’re lucky, starters last less than a quarter before they’re replaced by players with unfamiliar names, numbers and backgrounds…
By CHRIS GRAY Billy Bob Thornton (center), flanked by the Boxmasters’ touring lineup. “Billy’s reaching for the phone.” With that, Boxmasters guitarist/bassist J.D. Andrew hands off to his drummer/lead singer Billy Bob Thornton, who won the hearts of miscreants everywhere as Willie, the booze-swilling, expletive-spewing St. Nick in 2003’s Bad Santa. In Boxmasters originals like “I’ll Give You a Ring,”…

BY OWEN MORRIS The Foundry is no longer open for lunch. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come. (KC Beer Blog) Any article that lists chocolate as an exceptionally healthy food or “superfood” is an article I can get behind. In addition to chocolate, there are nine other superfoods that may surprise. (Forbes) As mentioned on this…
BY OWEN MORRIS E! Television isn’t the only cable channel to travel through town recently. The Food Network show Road Tasted with The Neelys stopped through town a couple of weeks ago to sample some of the best cuisine KC has to offer. The Neelys should already be familiar with what KC has to offer, since they own a a…
BY OWEN MORRIS The American Royal is known nationwide for its barbecue festival. Now it’s expanding into spirits. The first-ever Wine and Brew-Ha-Ha takes place this Saturday from 6- 9 p.m at Hale Arena in the American Royal Complex. Participants include such local companies as Boulevard Brewery, 75th Street Brewery, Weston Brewing Company and St. James Winery. There’s also a…
BY OWEN MORRIS Once in a great while, I’ll come across a recipe so odd, foul or just plain wrong-sounding that I feel compelled to make it. Such was the case this week when I received a press release from the Soyfood Council titled “Back to School with Soyfood Snacks.” Instead of feeding your children salty or fatty after-school snacks,…
