• Wayward Son: Traveling with Tech N9ne and his Strange Music posse to Denver, Colorado

  I hear the first cheers around 10 or 11 in the morning, before anybody on the bus besides the driver is awake. From inside my capsulelike bunk, behind blackout curtains, the burst of screams and applause sounds strange and otherworldly. It is Saturday, November 22, and the two trailer-dragging buses and the equipment truck have just pulled into the parking lot of Denver's Fillmore Auditorium. It has been a 10-hour drive since the previous night's gig at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City. We'v

• A review of the KC window at the Good Morning America studio

  Last week, I went to New York City. It was great to get out of town, especially since it's been a while since I've had a long vacation. As it turned out, I was reminded of KC nearly every day of my trip. I ended up staying just a couple of blocks from ABC's Good Morning America studio at Times Square, where, earlier this month, a KC-themed display went up in its street-level window. Two other windows featured cityscapes of Denver and Atlanta. I thought the KC window wa

• Restaurant week in the Power & Light District

  All over the country, cities are celebrating restaurant week. In places like New York, Philadelphia and Denver, it involves hundreds of restaurants. In Kansas City, the scale may be smaller, but the idea is the same. Twelve Power & Light District restaurants are providing discounted prix-fixe menus to entice first-time customers. It's a win-win. Diners get deals on dinner, while restaurants get a chance to lure potential repeat customers.All of the special menus are posted on the Power &

  I said you don't know. You said don't you know. I said ... take me out. To Franz Ferdinand. April 27. The Beaumont. It's not up yet on the group's MySpace, but a not unreliable source tells us it is so. I wish they were playing just about anywhere than the Breaumont, but I'll survive. More dates and the best video of the year so far after the jump.

• You can spend 300k on dog jewelry?

  www.spoilurpets.comThere are things we remember from working at daily newspapers. We remember reporters shouting out bad puns for hours. We'd lay down money that when this story broke, at least one guy at the Rocky Mountain News suggested some variation of "Barking Up the Wrong Tree" for the headline while his co-workers politely ignored him. We'll try to resist making such whoopee cushion jokes for the next few paragraphs, but we make no promises. As the story goes, an unidentified 6

  "Meth lab" is no longer an acceptable punchline for a joke. So this federal grand jury has indicted 22 area residents for alleged involvement with the theft of $22 million of allergy medicine, an important chemical constituent for meth labs, the moonshine stills of the 21st century. The Roscoe P. Coltraines who made the arrests, probably by cutting off Coy and Vance Duke before they could reach the county line in their racist muscle car, were probably just trying to help Boss Hogg get the deed

  I couldn't have come back from a four-day, computer-free weekend to better news: the Pogues are coming to the Midland by AMC on October 25.
