A journey down to the Benton County Courthouse for some business in Warsaw found this one-of-a-kind piece lingering about the inside the historic building. Produced by Warsaw South students to show their respect for the US flag and all those that stand to protect the same. The assemblage of a multitude of red, white, and blue plastic bottle caps is interesting, though does not indicate any sort of production date.

pre-game knuckleheads

by jusTodd January 18, 2025

Prior to the Chiefs game, we headed down to Knuckleheads for a little birthday celebration, enjoying good company and good music. The Divisional Playoff game against the Houston Texans took precedence for most of the regular attendees of this Saturday jam session, so attendance was extremely sparse. It was a good time though. We enjoyed some great music in space before the game, and could have even stayed for the game, if we had decided to. There were several screens showing the pre-game.

a kc rep carol

An evening with the Kansas City Repertory interpretation of the Charles Dickens tale, "A Christmas Carol," turned out an excellent performance in this 43rd rendition the classic. A diverse representation of performers stood for nary a slip in their execution. The narrator stumbled a couple of times but recovered so quick, it was hard to accept that it had really occurred. When you have that many lines, it is hard not to miss one here and there though. Early in the opening acts of the show, a phone voiced its annoying melody. However, nobody on stage missed a beat, or even blinked, as the device quickly silenced. Technology is hard for some, I suppose. It was not for the production though! A revolving set appeared well manicured and suitable for every angle of the production, and actors flowed seamlessly across and between scenes. Extending into the audience as well, extras sometime enhanced the lighting and sound, prior to thei...

mapping the heavens

by jusTodd December 27, 2024

Taking a break from the usual daylight activities created space to investigate a recent exhibit at the Nelson showcasing a unique multi-cultural and multi-faith dialog. The works presented are but a cross-section of shared astronomical knowledge, preserved and advanced by Muslim scientists during the European dark ages. Re-emerging during the Renaissance, thanks to the invention of the printing press, they communicate discoveries though beautifully crafted books, instruments, and images. Mapping the Heavens is part of the World Religions Initiative at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. This exhibition is co-organized with the Linda Hall Library and is available for viewing through January 11, 2025.
