There are two things I want to update about -- the first is a concert that we went to in February. Starlight Mints played for the first time in a few years at a little place in Denton called Hailey's. I was so excited!
Random trivia: I first learned about Starlight Mints on the way to a record store in Lancaster, PA. I think it was 2002. I wrote the band name in lipstick on a piece of paper in my purse.
First opening band was boring, so I won't discuss them. The second opening band was completely ridiculous as you can see by this video:
Yes, that is a girl dressed as a robot singing in a robot voice and dancing like a robot. Novelty bands piss me off, but it was pretty funny. She also had a zipper dangling from a hilarious location!
Starlight Mints were super fun. I'm definitely also going back to Hailey's when Calvin Johnson plays there. I couldn't get any good pictures, but here's a video of them playing Submarine #3. They played it very last, and I think they knew everyone was waiting for it!
Okay, now to the second topic. Last weekend we decided to take a road trip to Kansas City to see Maryland play Memphis in the NCAA tourney. Random! It was so fun and I loved visiting KC.
Jen should move there. She recommended a delicious BBQ place called Jack Stack, and I abandoned all food inhibitions at the door. It was soo good. Maryland ended up losing horribly to Memphis, but we had a great time and driving through Kansas was quite an experience.
We also ended up sitting next to a couple that was from Maryland but lived in Omaha, Nebraska. I scolded them when they said they thought Saddle Creek was just a neighborhood. But they did know what Sokol Undergound was.
Enough text, here's the good stuff!
How many dirty jokes popped into your head after reading this gas station sign? I think this was in Okmulgee, OK. Or something like that.
Downtown Kansas City!!
The "line" to get into the Sprint Center. March Madness, baby!!

Kansas made me want to ride around in a Conestoga wagon. For sure.
