SOFTEEEEEEEEE!

Live from Crosstown Station with a cover of the Yard Birds, For Your Love!

With special guests: crazy whacked out dancer couple!!!!

(sorry for the shakiness, was trying to balance around the previously mentioned whacked out dancer couple)
(Also sorry for the video being squished. blogger just seemed to do it, and I can't make it normal again.)

Just another Saturday night in KCMO...

This was one of the acts at the (PG-13 Rated) Donkey Show at Crosstown Station last Saturday. So cool that there are Kansas Citians cooling it up for all to see.

Westside Stories: INTRO

May 1, 2009: Ok, here I go...

Just closed on a plot of land, 37 x 126.5 feet to be exact, on the Westside in KCMO!! Been dying to be a part of this hood for years and years and days! Yep, that amazing pile of dead sticks and trees that butts up to a half burned down garage, is mine....almost all mine...in several more payments of thousands of dollars. :) Couldn't be more prouder or exciteder. Now to sell my house so I can get this party started!

Over the next 15+ months, I will be tracking my adventures in building green (LEED certified) with a mid-century modern twist, on a really tiny budget, while living bare bones style in a studio apt!! My architect and builder and subs, who I will be sure to introduce you to, are Westsiders themselves all trying to adapt greener lives. I will post lots of links and ups and downs and advice and questions as this all unfolds...so stay tuned!!

So, I guess the only posts I can manage these days...in between facebook and twitter updates, are musicy. Ah well....that just gives my dad more time to hate new things that I can add to the ongoing list.
