Weekender
The Weekend Starts Today
Memorial Day is about more than getting an extra day off. The holiday is ostensibly about remembering those we have lost. This weekend in Kansas City, the holiday also is going to be about staying dry. Still. Seemingly forever. Could someone please build the city an ark? Unless, of course, you want to get wet….

Forecasters are calling for warm, dry weather all weekend. Thank goodness. We all know what April showers bring. May showers, however, don’t bring anything but badly overgrown lawns. Once you’ve mowed that jungle of yours, why not get out and see some of what our city has to offer? The scuffling Royals are out of…

It’s Mother’s Day weekend. So, for goodness’ sake, pre-order those flowers, and make those brunch reservations now. Better yet, take mom out to see one of the great cultural events happening around our city. We’ve culled the best for her (and you) below. With May underway, it’s time for a First Friday in the Crossroads….

This week has already been a wet one. Like “build an ark” wet. The upcoming weekend, unfortunately, might not be much drier. Luckily, most of the best stuff to do around town will be held inside, so water won’t be a problem. Except, that is, for the Brookside Art Annual. You might need rain gear for…

Earth Day is Friday. That means you can use your weekend to get greener. Then, having done your part to save civilization, you can also get out and enjoy it. We’ve got plenty of tips for doing both. Start by getting rid of unused electronics responsibly. Bridging the Gap, one of the city’s best environmental organizations, is…

April 18th cometh. You could spend the whole weekend working on your taxes. Or you could shove those forms in a desk, file for an extension, and get out to have some fun. If you decide on the latter, albeit irresponsible choice, we’ve got a ton of good stuff to do around town. That is,…

Granted, it’s time for spring cleaning. You could be excused for being productive, and spend the next several days scrubbing your place from top to bottom. Do so, and you’ll certainly have a fine sense of accomplishment. You will also, however, miss out on tons of cool stuff happening around town. For instance, baseball. The…

Forget what astronomers tell you. The true start of spring has nothing to do with the vernal equinox. Spring actually starts when baseball season begins. In other words, the sneeziest season starts in earnest this weekend when our world champion Royals play Sunday night. The game, a World Series rematch with the Mets, will be nationally televised on ESPN….

Who doesn’t adore Spring? Lovers love it. Poets sing its praises. Animals get frisky. Trees bud and flowers bloom. Everyone, but everyone, loves springtime. That is, unless you happen to have allergies. In that case, spring means six weeks of itchy eyes and a runny nose. Spring can also mean rain. Which, thank goodness, it…

With St. Patrick’s Day on Thursday, and all the debauchery that goes along with it, you could be excused for spending the whole weekend hungover at home. Assuming that you recover, however, and that you don’t want to spend the next four days watching NCAA basketball, we’ve got a ton of events to see around…
