A rare Wednesday night performance by a couple of great DJs encouraged me to drop in on Davey's this week.  DJ Nitro and Tony Foo Young were playing with support from DJ Solaris, Synnister & Atom Bryce.  It was really surprising that more folks did not turn out, as the generally feeling was nothing but love for DJ Nitro.  When I talked to him later about this little oddity, he only remarked that some things had happened recently, things change, and with any luck I would not find out how things can be with the scene in Kansas City sometimes.

It was a fun night though, for the handful of hardcore supporters, and those that missed out for other reasons... well, tough luck... I guess we know who really supports whom.

be kind kansas city

  Wandering through the Power & Light District yesterday found this relatively new mural issuing a commandment to the citizens of Kansas City.  No artist appeared credited and the artwork itself is minimal and a bit flat, thought the message is clear.  Be Kind Kansas City.  You know you want to and there are some amazing side effects, such as improved self-esteem, relationships, reduced stress and anxiety, and even a boost in physical health on numerous fronts.  More than anything, it is the right thing to do.

39 west scribe

No other image stands out along West 39th better than this amazing bit of graffiti art, instantly recognizable as one from local artist "Scribe."  Completed in 2014, it is holding up really well for 20 years old.  This huge mural is always a welcome greeting to the tiny little district that straddles the state line.  If they ever replace this, it should definitely be another piece from KC's own Scribe.

  Another scene by the notorious "Scribe" lay lurking on the Genessee side of Fric & Frac, just south of 39th Street.  The usual Buzz Bee appears here, hovering over a jam box, watching the hipster watch a schoolgirl bunny watching them as she walks away.  All appeared perfectly under the dappled light from a nearby shade tree, screening out an other wise bright sunny morning.

emmaus balloon art

  This piece of work appeared out of nowhere, while out and about on a morning walk today. The multitude of balloons formed into an unsigned colorful expression roughly 2 meters tall and as much wide lingered just inside the doorway.  A substantial amount of work undoubtedly went into wrangling these air-filled rubber containers into the variety of flowers and undergrowth on display.

arkansas imca spring nationals

The packed clay and red dirt oval near Batesville has been on the radar for a couple of years now.  Excursions to the area seemed as though they were never timed correctly, or other plans interfered with a proper examination of the situation.  Not this time, somewhat.  Wires got crossed and what was thought to have started one day, actually kicked off the date after.  That did not make Thursday any less interesting though, as it enabled an opportunity to catch the warm-up acts, before the main feature on Friday. The stands were not as packed as had been anticipated, though we were assured that would not be the case later in the season.  The Wimp Reed Arkansas IMCA Racing Spring Nationals at Batesville Motor Speedway put on an awesome show though! The rumble seat for this venture featured multiple rounds of IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, Factory Stocks, Midwest Modifieds, Hobby Stock, and Young Guns.  The later proved the most surprising overall, with...
