Hi folks, long time since I have hit the message board and as usual I am looking for help.
On the 26th of December I am talking my second trip stateside to a friends wedding how is marrying a good-old American lass. So I will be in full highland dress etc at about -5 degrees - The song "I who have nothing" springs to mind...!
We are taking a holiday on the back of it so was wondering what there is to do in Kansas over the festive period and also things we should go and see...?
If The Choir, The 77s and The Lost Dogs were touring it would be great and all my Christmases would have come at once. Realistically, however if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate any suggestions.
TTFN, Mark.

Dittos on the restaurant suggestions (through second hand info).... you could check out Guy Fieri's "Diners Drive-ins & Dives" (DDD) website - I know he's done a few shows in the Kansas City area, and some of those joints and recipes looked very interesting. The episode I saw which looked like a cool place was Grinder's (417 E. 18th St. K.C. MO) - I believe there was artistic welded sculptures there as well as an artistic menu. Other places on the show include:
39th Street Mama's. (3906 Waddell St. - K.C. MO)
YJ's Snack Bar (128 W 18th St. - K.C. MO)
The only shows I could find so far were Trans-Siberian Orchestra (hey, it is the Christmas season) on the 23rd, and the theatrical offering of the Nutcracker through the 27th..........sorry.

My girlfriend goes to Kansas City for Christmas every year to visit family. She didn't have much of a list of KC stuff - she said the zoo was cool, but not so good in the dead of winter. I think she's mentioned going to Union Station, an old train station which now has a bunch of museums and theaters and restaurants and stuff in it. I think she said their art museum is decent.
Alas, the Kansas City Chefs NFL team is out of town that weekend, so you won't get a chance to watch bad football. :-)
