In Lawrence, Chicago’s Prizzy Prizzy Please are at the Replay with Ooh Barracuda and Rooftop Vigilantes, and if there is one thing you can count on here at the Wayward Blog, it is that if Rooftop Vigilantes are playing a show in town, WE WILL RECOMMEND IT. This one seems especially promising, though: Prizzy plays a riotous, sans-guitar, pro-saxophone version…
Swapping Section 8 housing help for sexual favors is pretty gross. It’s even grosser when it’s a man of God doing it. The Rev. Meredith F. Sullivan admitted in February that he’d bumped people up the waiting list for Section 8 housing and lied to HUD about tenant income and household compositions in exchange for sex (or the promise of…

James Holmes Baker and restaurateur James Holmes wants people to know something. He did not choose to move his business, Napoleon Bakery, out of Westport. He had to. “I loved that location,” he says. “But my bread oven stopped working, and then the ice machine and two other machines. It was a perfect storm of disasters. When I said something to…

A polling outfit whose work The Pitch questioned in 2008 is being labeled a fraud by a client. On Tuesday, the liberal politics blog Daily Kos disowned the polls it had asked Research 2000 to conduct. The blog’s founder, Markos Moulitsas, has concluded that Research 2000’s survey results are “bunk” after reading a report by three statisticians who examined the…
Fred P. Ott’s on the Plaza occasionally hosts rock shows, or at least it used to, and anyway it’s a great joint for drinking and carousing and puffing cigs on the patio. Last night at Ott’s, I spotted a handful of local musicians, and Sonic Spectrum music guru Robert Moore was hosting a general trivia night. That’s enough to qualify…
The banana: under protest from the Westboro Baptist Church. Warning: The consumption of these five foods is not guaranteed to turn a heterosexual into a homosexual. Unlike, of course, those other cultural phenomena known to do just that, like listening to Barbra Streisand albums, watching a Will & Grace marathon, attending Gay Pride festivals (and sporting a tasteful rainbow flag…
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and ESPN The Magazine are deadlocked and neither is budging. ESPN stands by its interview with Bowe in which he claimed his teammates used social networking to import NFL groupies while on the road. Bowe claims he was misquoted (but he’s also claimed the interview never happened). How he could be misquoted in…
The feds finally caught up with Citadel Plaza’s developers. A federal grand jury indicted William M. Threatt Jr. and Anthony Crompton Tuesday for allegedly violating the Clean Air Act by improperly removing and disposing of asbestos-containing materials from April 2001 to July 2006 at the midtown Kansas City site located at the corner of 63rd and Prospect. But we already…
Kansas City quirk made a strong showing at the recordBar last night. The night began with Tut Tut, Alex Abnos’ solo project. Katlyn Conroy and the Wild and Wooly filled the bar with a set of warm, warbling lullabies, and the night finished off with a torrential downpour of chaotic pop band Secret Cities (Abnos plays drums for the band). Categories:…
OK, not you, specifically, but plenty of other people would get tax breaks under a measure being considered by the Missouri Legislature during a special session that, for some manufacturers (and old people!), just got a lot more special. Gov. Jay Nixon called the session specifically for lawmakers to consider tax incentives for Ford’s Claycomo assembly plant — and to…
We’re more turf than surf here in Kansas City, which means we don’t have a lot of fresh seafood options. Many Kansas Citians are wondering if the seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is safe to eat. AOL News — along with the rest of the country — was wondering the same thing. Last night, the site published the results…

The Fourth Annual Art of the Car Concours rolled into town Sunday morning, awing car enthusiasts and neophytes alike with a wide variety of vintage automobiles.
Food porn is for the hardcore foodies. The ones who need to photograph their fix of gooey cinnamon rolls and rich duck-confit ravioli in a light stock. But what about the more chaste among us? What if food is less about being hardcore and more about finding new first loves? For us, it’s all about the food crush — the…
As far as the sins of public relations go, is there any worse than misspelling the title of the play that you’re being paid to plug? “The Barn Players, Kansas City’s award winning community theatre, will present a special six-performance engagement of the Off-Broadway stage hit “THE VIGINA MONOLOGUES,” writes Pat “” Paton of Pat Paton Public Relations, located in…
%{}% Rosemary caramel ice cream has one blogger on a mission to get the sweet treat from Glace Artisan Ice Cream. The decor, drip coffee and chicken with dumplings soup wins the Filling Station another fan. Is soup the new breakfast yogurt? Bacon and egg soup is on the menu at a suburban coffee shop just outside Chicago. Michael Phillips…
Terry Riley has torn into a box of Lucky Charms as he attempts to move from City Hall to the Jackson County Legislature. Riley, who represents a predominantly black district as a Kansas City, Missouri, councilman, has decided that running for county office requires a little rebranding. Riley’s yard signs omit his first name, come in green and feature a…

If Shannon Young is lucky, her picture won’t be splashed across media sites like Debra Lafave or Pamela Rogers Turner or Mary Kay Letourneau-Fauulau or, the latest woman accused of sexing an underage boy, Stephanie Ragusa, who was just sentenced to 10 years in prison. Young, 36, is charged with three counts of unlawful sexual relations with a 17-year-old male…
It’s happening at Unity Temple on the Plaza on Sunday, July 11, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The catch is that in order to go, you must have a ticket, which you can only get by purchasing the book at Rainy Day Books. But that’s not really a catch, because you should be supporting the darned heck out of Rainy…
