These might as well be imaginary, because if a place does not contain the word "motel" and a number, I probably can't afford to sleep there.

• A Holographic Tide of art and music streams in at tonight's Lunar Gathering

  Hail and well met, Mammoth Life! True Lawrence music scene insiders know that the real action is at the Eagle's Lodge (6th and Colorado). That's where the bingo goes down every Friday, and on full moons you can also catch a bunch of hippie kids hanging out at the Lodge's Lunar Gathering. The brainchild of Lawrence musician Rolf Pederman aims to provide a forum for local artists and musicians to show their work on a bi-monthly basis. "When there's a full moon it always tends to get a little cr

• Tonight! Bluegrass shredders Deadman Flats at the Riot Room

  By RICHARD GINTOWT phot from myspace.com/deadmanflats Fans of Split Lip Rayfield and other boogan bluegrass shredders will want to skedaddle on over to Riot Room tonight (Thursday) to catch Deadman Flats. The four-piece string band has become a big draw in Lawrence with its Roger-Miller-gone-wrong songs about PBR, zombies and dudes who hit on Wal-Mart greeters. The group is currently working on a follow-up to its debut album, Antlers, which featured some excellent banjo work from a busker th

  Flickr: Toronto JimIf you happen to live in one of the 13 states that allow medical marijuana, President Obama is cool with that. For all intents and purposes, pot is de facto legal there now. In case you're wondering, Kansas and Missouri are not two of those states. But neighbor Colorado is.Last Wednesday, Attorney General Eric Holder, discussing some bigger news about a Mexican pot bust, smoothly slid in the news that the DEA would no longer conduct raids on medical marijuana dispensaries.

• Boulevard in aluminum: step forward or backward?

  Flickr: HerkieYesterday Boulevard Brewing Co. announced it was going to start selling Boulevard Wheat in aluminum cans very soon. It used to be rare for microbreweries such as Boulevard to venture into the world of aluminum. Similar-sized breweries such as Sierra Nevada and O'Dell's have yet to turn to aluminum. It was only last year that Colorado's New Belgium started canning its most popular seller Fat Tire.At the time, New Belgium said the reason for the cans was to be more versatile -- for t

  The chiefs didn't lose Sunday. They also didn't play. Mercifully for us and them. But the Larry Johnson news didn't stop over the weekend. The Chiefs and LJ agreed on a settlement figure the troubled running back will give up during his suspension: $300,000. So LJ can keep bragging about having money -- but not for long if the Chiefs dump him. Arrowhead Pride compiled a couple of news reports (here and here) surveying NFL general managers, and none seem interested in a back that's nearly 30 and
