See you there. XOXO!! Categories: Music Tags: PMA 2009
As soon as I get it, I’ll post the schedule for this Sunday’s Pitch Music Awards Ceremony. In the meantime, here’s a schedule for the VIP pre-party for the nominees and guests. (NOTE: All nominees must RSVP now if you haven’t already. Like NOW now.) 6 p.m. – Doors open. 6:07 p.m. – Doors still open. 6:11 p.m. – Cars…
You need plans. Fat City has a recycle bin full of event listings. In this post, all of our problems are solved. The Missouri State Fair kicked off Thursday in Sedalia and runs through August 23. You should go if only for the pork chops on a stick or fried Snickers. The second-to-last-day of the fair will see a world…
This morning’s G.I. Joe parachute drop turned ugly when adult collectors battled children for the 300 12-inch dolls dropped from the top of the Hyatt Regency Crown Center. Before the drop, organizers explained that the dolls were for the children in attendance. One collector tried to leave with the toy, but a woman refused to let him get away. In…
The vibe at the Record Bar is relaxed and Janelle Mead has the easy motion of a relaxed bartender. On a Friday afternoon, everyone in the bar seems there to do two things — sip a drink and meet up with somebody. “You come here for the people. I live in Liberty and make that drive. I love my bosses,”…
Pop Free Radio scored a big success last night by booking Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Joe Firstman and the ACBs at the Brick. More than 100 people turned out, which is quite impressive for a weeknight. Also impressive: I didn’t know a one of them. It gladdened me to see so many strangers willing to plunk down $10…
Nobody ever accused the Cult of L. Ron of PR expertise. As we pointed out in yesterday’s Studies in Crap post, the hilariously titled promotional pamphlet “Scientology: Something CAN Be Done About It” features a doozy of a photo-illustration guaranteed to offend, say, three-fourths of the world’s religious believers. It presents the great leaders of religious history, from Buddha to…
“And up through the ground came a-bubblin’ crude…” All hell breaks loose in the new science-fiction film District 9 when the member of a multi-national peacekeeping group gets sprayed in the face with “alien fluid.” You’ll have to see the movie to find out what happens, but this dramatic point in the film’s plot line has slightly similar overtones to…
And once again, we bring you Friday Freebies, wherein we present things to do this weekend that won’t cost you any more than the gas it takes to get to ’em. Things are coming to an end, as we get to the end of summer. Kansas City schools get kicking Monday morning, so your options for kid-friendly stuff pretty much…
Judging by the e-mail, some country fans don’t cotton to my failure to cotton to everything on country radio. That’s cool. You want Rascal Flatts, you can have them. Let me remind you, though, of the great unspoken understanding between reviewer and reader. No matter how high my horse may seem, my reviews, like all reviews, come stamped with an…
The press release just sent out by Live Nation reads: Due to injuries STEVEN TYLER sustained last week when he fell from the stage during a concert in Sturgis, SD, doctors have advised the lead singer to take the time to properly recuperate from the accident that resulted in a broken shoulder and stitches to his head. In his current…
The idea of a meal in a can seems wrong, so I don’t know what to make of the news from Food2, about a new British product that encapsulates meals in self-heating cans. Hotcan choices are non-toxic, have a three-year shelf life and “no unpleasant odor.” “The ability for food and beverages to heat themselves sounds like the stuff of…
When it comes to possibly dirty food, the five-second rule seems reasonable: If you drop an item on the floor, you can still eat it as long as you have snatched it back up within five seconds. The exceptions are if you have pets, a plate or glass has broken along with the wine it contained, or an item capable…
$550,000 to Ruth Bates later, oversized Vulcan Mayor Mark Funkhouser vetoes the City Council’s second attempt at a volunteer ordinance, the Council fails to override Funk’s veto and his “Chicken-Shit with an Attitude” volunteer/wife is free to roam City Hall. Deb Hermann, Bill Skaggs, Russ Johnson and Beth Gottstein voted against overriding Funk’s veto. Group hug! Categories: News, Politics Tags:…
If you believe a New Yorker, there are New York bagels and then there’s really nothing else that compares. Steve Fassberg is attempting to tweak that argument by re-creating the taste and composition of New York City tap water in order to provide what he feels is the right base for bagels at his recently opened shop in Del Ray,…
%{}% Keeping an accurate count of the homicides isn’t easy. The number always seems to fluctuate, like what we found out today thanks to The Kansas City Star. The homicide count stands at 75. It was at 76 but Kansas City police and the Jackson County Medical Examiner removed two homicides — the medical examiner ruled one accidental and the…
