Mr. Goodcents is about as good of a sub as you can buy for the money. It puts Subway to shame. If you don’t have one in your city, I pity you. That being said, Mr. Goodcents puts a tip line on your credit card receipt, hoping to guilt you into poneying up a tip…
Kansas City is giving the Kansas City Power and Light District a much-deserved scolding for its dress code, perceived by many as racist. The one time I went to the meat market district, we stood in line for twenty minutes to get into a bar. A bouncer approached a black guy behind me and told…
The last week for this blog has been all about toilets, the Royals, toilets at Royals games, and today it’s about toilets at bars while watching the Royals. Unlike recent years, I’m not in a position to talk about the Royals being in the toilet, so that theme will thankfully have to wait. We went…
Note: Lots more words in this post than you’re used to. Don’t worry. I’ll give you a podcast version so you can rest your eyes, if need be. mp3 file (4:06) We wanted to try something new Saturday night. We decided on the Kansas City Power and Light District. Fearful of tight parking, we chose…
I went to Tanner’s in Waldo Saturday night. They have a candy machine in the restroom. It’s filled with unwrapped candy. I guess Tanner’s wants to guarantee you get fecal matter and piss all over your candy. The only delicacy you’re allowed to purchase in the restroom is a Strawberry-Banana flavored condom. Flavor is clearly…
I went to Manhattan last weekend to catch up with some friends. We went to Kite’s Saturday night. I learned two main things. 1. K-State basketball fans suck. K-State lost to Baylor Saturday night. Like KU fans trying to follow football (see this post), K-State basketball fans really don’t understand the game. They jeer at…
Jon (his amazing performance of “Hurts So Good” with a street performer in Westport here) and I went to Lew’s to celebrate our singlehood on Valentine’s. Lew’s is a bar and grill, more bar than grill, and definitely not the ideal Valentine’s date location. However, we did see several couples enjoying Lew’s for Valentine’s. I…
Who was last night’s big winner? If you guessed K-State, you’re wrong. It’s this guy: He was at Charlie Hooper’s for the KU-K-State game last night. He has an awesome tattoo of a watch under his watch, but he has an even better shirt. Things To Do: 1. Your Sister 2. Your Mom You gotta…
I have a new favorite study. The researchers found that playing drinking games, having a personal history of binge drinking, attending a party with many other intoxicated people, and attending a themed event all predicted higher blood alcohol levels. Maybe if these “researchers” had gone out once or twice during their college years, they could’ve…
A couple of weeks ago, we went to Harpo’s in Westport. Jon ditched us to hit on some 40-year-old, possible lesbians. An overhead shot of Jon with the suspected lesbians I bet he spent two hours talking to these women. He says they talked about life, love, the world — you know, all the things…
Rather than go to Arrowhead Stadium for KU-MU, we went to Ugly Joe’s at 103rd and State Line. You see, Arrowhead is clearly in Missouri. Ugly Joe’s is right on the border, making it more suitable for the whole “Border War” mentality. Yeah, that’s it. It was almost a 50/50 KU-MU crowd. Obviously, a similar…
My notepad is full of ideas that seemed a lot better in the drunk of night than in the light of day. Instead of having a bunch of ideas staring at me, I thought I’d clear out some of those unused notes. Enjoy. 1. No blankets allowed on a bar’s patio. I was on the…
I went to Old Chicago for a couple of drinks tonight. I got busted in a “Do I know her?” stare. We were sitting at the bar, and a red head moved into my peripheral vision. I glanced over, and thought I might know her. So I kept staring, even narrowing my eyes to tighten…
We went to the 810 Zone on the Plaza to watch the MU and KU games yesterday. They have touchscreen computers in the booths. You can watch TV, play games or go online. It’s a pretty cool idea. Our particular computer was dicked, though. It wouldn’t let us select any of the options. They rebooted…
It’s been too long since I last blogged about karaoke. We went to The Red Balloon last night. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s one of Kansas City’s only bars with karaoke seven days a week. Surprisingly, the DJ was the only thing that bugged me about the place. He was in the early stages of growing…
I went to Tomfooleries for happy hour last night. The food was great, the drink specials were on target, but the bathroom situation was a little disconcerting. We sat in the fairly new upstairs area, which probably seats about 100 people, maybe more. One unisex toilet was in place to serve this area. The unisex…
