Global Dance Festival – part of the Pitch Lost weekend
Changing the A in CSA to Alcohol… I think we’ve gotten to the stage where most people have an idea of what CSA means. For those who don’t, it’s a community supported agriculture program, wherein a group of members purchase shares from a farm to provide seed capital and diversify the risk in exchange for a weekly produce, meat or…

It’s midnight … you’re hungry. Tomorrow morning, on KCUR’s Walt Bodine Show — 10 a.m. on 89.3-FM — the theme of the “Restaurant Critic’s Show” will be late-night eating. There will be discussion on both the obvious choices (fast food drive-through windows, Chubby’s on Broadway, Pancho’s, Denny’s), as well as these five of our favorite late-night dining spots in Fat City….

American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is at the Midland. And at RecordBar, Max Justus will be getting a dance party crackin’. He’s joined on the bill by Kid Midi and Bale the…
We Pitch people just caught Tech N9ne’s van parked outside of Bazookas Showgirls, our lovely local strip club just a piece down the road. But, alas, Tech’s crew was just putting up posters, not ogling boobies: they’re putting up some shiny fliers to promote Tech’s new album, Tech N9ne Collabos: The Gates Mixed Plate, which is due out on July 27. Here’s…
During the months I spent in the pro-life movement (which you can read about in this week’s feature, “A Day in the Right to Life”), I heard a lot of complaining about conservative politicians lacking the courage of their pro-life convictions. But Missouri’s Democrat Gov. Jay Nixon just proved liberals can be equally gutless when it comes to fetuses. Categories:…
The Brick is the best bar in downtown Kansas City, according to an informal poll conducted by myself and a guy I know, goes by the name Big Boots. “Cheap drinks, biscuits and gravy bar on the weekends, trivia, and, most nights, solid local music,” said Big Boots. “What’s not to love?” Couldn’t agree more — as always, Big Boots…
The meat war is on in Kansas City See more photos of Fogo on the slideshow page. In this week’s Cafe review of the Brazilian churrascaria on the Country Club Plaza, Fogo de Chao, there were two issues that dominated this dining experience: that patrons are encouraged to eat a lot of food and that the price tag is expensive….

You know how crusty, curmudgeonly old people are so fond of telling us youngsters that rock music will make us deaf? Or turn us into stupid, worthless, no-account-no-good-sonofabitches? Apparently, now, music can make you high. Well, duh. No, they mean actually high. They’re calling it iDosing. And your local news channel, Kansas News Channel 9, was the first to…

This isn’t going to be good for Shirley Joyce McClellan’s day care business. McClellan admitted disciplining a child with a riding crop. Ouch! She also copped to more traditional forms of punishment, like using her hand and threatening to hit them with a stick. McClellan didn’t even dispute the claim. She was unrepentant. Hell, she even told investigators that’d she’d…
The great places don’t change with the times. They just continue to be relevant. Hi Boy Drive-In is staying relevant by continuing to serve its signature burger, thin and lightly charred around the edges. And the burger shop will actually go back in time for a night, close to the year its first location opened in 1957. The Classic Car…

To solve this, he headed yesterday to Johnson County Community College, which is the perfect place since it was designed to help hardworking Kansans like Briscoe…
%{}% My dad has been in sales his entire life. And one of his sales axioms, which I’ve expanded into other parts of my life, involves cold french fries. He always wants to hear a customer’s complaint and likewise is willing to let a proprietor know when something is not right. Because as he says, “if you don’t tell me…
