Cocktails at Manifesto

August 14th, 2009 by Kevin

Finally made it to speakeasy-themed bar Manifesto last weekend. If you haven’t already heard about this place it’s part of a growing (positive) trend where the cocktail ingredients and bartender expertise are the focus.
Manifesto is modeled somewhat on the the speakeasy – prohibition era establishments that served alcohol (illegally).  When it was illegal to operate [...]

The New “K”

April 13th, 2009 by Kevin

Went to the “new K” on Easter to see the Royals play the Yankees.  The Royals have done a great job with the stadium modifications.
One of the first things you notice is how intimate the stadium is.  By adding seating beyond the outfield the Royals have made the stadium seem smaller, more compact.  It’s nothing [...]

Blasters at Knuckleheads

November 9th, 2008 by Kevin

Scott and Brad pulled off the impossible and coordinated a night out for about 35 of us. A school bus, dinner at Seven Restaurant and several hours of drinking, dancing and laughing with the Blasters at Knuckleheads. You could not ask for more fun.
Enough jibber-jabber. A picture’s worth a thousand laughs.

Eggs

October 12th, 2008 by Kevin

 
I love eggs.  Most of us have grown up kind of afraid of eggs – believing that eating eggs is going to kill us.  I’ve always conveniently ignored that conventional wisdom and have been vindicated by and large by recent medical research.

Cicada

September 17th, 2008 by Kevin

On a walk with Shelly and found this cicada that had just molted (left its old shell). Managed to grab him before Sam Parker (our beagle) could snap him up as a mid-day snack.

John Mayall at Knuckleheads

September 8th, 2008 by Kevin

Saw blues legend John Mayall last Saturday night with some buddies (Scott, Scott, James, Brad). Can’t think of a better venue for a Blues show like this – especially when a freight train rolls by blasting its whistle (I thought I was at a juke joint in Mississippi).
A short video. 
He can still work that blues [...]
