Nice. Victor is/was awesome. He was doing his two minds one groove tour with JD Blair. I drove to STL to see this tour back in May (I think) when they were first getting back on the road.

Victor is great. Bass player from my band went to his Woo-camps and has idolized him for a long time.

Backstage at Waka 06:



I've seen him perform in a bunch of different settings, but the best I've ever seen was his Soul Circus tour a few years ago. WOW.

Gotta love the dive bars that still allow smoking.

My band played in Topeka not too long ago and when I walked in and saw ash trays sitting on the tables I was all confused for a minute.

Have fun, pre-packed rooms are always a blast, especially if they've been pre-liquored!

Try using bottle caps instead of quarters for a game of micro-golf    Eighteen holes -- no waiting!!

Awesome idea. I have spent many nights flicking bottle caps at random targets... signs, pictures, people....

I just got a chance to listen to the full album and it is f'n sweet!!!


Really cool, I think my favorite was Cash Up Front but The Gun Slinger is almost a tie.

Love It....I really appreciate free music also, especially when you get a hold of a gem like this!!

Much Thanks!

Hey all, my group played one of the best shows yet, and we got it all on tape. We multi-track record this and mix it down on an analog console... Feel free to share this with who ever you think might enjoy it, and tell me what you think.

I'm not sure if there's enough golfers that are active on twitter. I used to use it quite a bit but I have slowed down due to spam / advertisements. Who knows, I'll try and remember to use it.. See if we can't start a little trend.

The Unified Gov P&R gave Wyco a tournament cut yesterday.  Besides the thatch patches, which is unavoidable this time of year, the course is in excellent condition.   

hello rollers!

I also knew all along the Penguins weren't coming to K.C.  Mario played everybody to perfection.  If the Islanders moved here that would be great.  Might have to rename the team.  I'm not sure the Kansas City Islanders would make a whole lot of sense.  If an NHL team ever did come to K.C. I hope they have a name contest.  I've got some good ideas.

They had a name contest for the soccer team too, epic fail.

I played 12 years of Ice Hockey. Grew up in KC and traveled to play quite a bit starting my second season. Highest level played was Midget AA for tournaments and Iowa Highschool Hockey League for a season.

I don't follow much hockey now, but I would still go see it live as much as possible if we had decent hockey.

The KC Stars (Midget AA or AAA I believe) games are pretty fun, they have really started to play at a high level.

I love hockey. Go Wings!

I recently met 3 friends at SMP, they are all new to the game. It was only the second tee box where officer Short McPudgy saw us, pulled his car over, got out, walked through a swamp, told us forcefully that he needed to search our bags.

There was no asking to search, he simply told us "I need to search your bags please." I quickly asked "Why?" and he informed me it was to check to see if we had alcohol. My friend quickly freaked out and opened his bag up. (We were all clean, as I had told my friends to leave their beers at home prior to playing.) Anyway, after he search my friends bag, he looked at me and said "I need to search your bag." And I said "No." That made him mad. He quickly started spouting off that if we got caught with alcohol it would be a $70 fine. I assured him that I didn't have beer, that I had played the course before, and I knew my rights. It was only after I brought it up, that he said that the search was only by consent. I realize that you have to know your rights before you're entitled to them, but still.

I hope his attitude was a result of something else in his life going horribly wrong, not just some pre-determined disposition against disc golfers.
