  • Erotic City sells silent death

    We recently heard a rumor that notorious adult-entertainment bookstore Erotic City was expanding its goods and services with a selection of weapons. Ever since a 14-year-old girl was prostituted in Erotic City's ''Orgy Room'' video booth, which are now shuttered, the erotic emporium has been looking for new ways to make money, including the sale of fake urine. So we thought we'd check it out.

  • Famous wanking advocator doesn't support Sebelius for cabinet position

    U.S. News & World Report is running a blog today about how former surgeon general Joycelyn Elders wants to see a doctor appointed as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services, not a lifelong politician like Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. Paul Bedard's blog, Washington Whispers, quotes Elders saying of the HHS slot, "I feel there are many roles to fill in government, and I feel this is a health role. They need to hear about health and human services from a health provider's perspective

  • Jackson County ordinance regulating Erotic City ruled constitutional

    A "glory hole" from one of Erotic City's now-closed video booths.Yesterday, a Jackson County judge declared an ordinance regulating adult entertainment businesses -- namely Erotic City -- constitutional. The ordinance outlaws sex in video booths and forced Erotic City to shutter the booths, which were huge sources of revenue as well as meeting places for anonymous hookups. The ordinance came after Jesse Franklin Herd III was convicted of sexually abusing and prostituting his then-14-year-old ste

  • KCPD says heteros hit hardest by domestic partner cuts

    A few hours after I posted an item about Kansas City Police Department yesterday, spokesman Rich Lockhart let me know the information might be misleading. According to a police memo last week, the department is cutting domestic partner benefits in an effort to save $421,000 in a particularly tight budget year. While such benefits allow same-sex couples to get shared health insurance, plenty of straight pairs take advantage, too. A domestic partnership, I now know, can be any man and

    When the Thrill Kill Kult canceled its gig Wednesday night at the Record Bar the story was that the band had broken up. According to RB co-owner Steve Tulipana, Marston "Mars" Daley (aka Buzz McCoy) from the band called him Wednesday morning to deliver the news. The entry I posted about the cancellation and alleged breakup took on a little life of its own in the comments section over the ensuing days, with fans disputing the news and Tulipana weighing in with what Mars told him on Wednesday.

    Michael and Chuck HewittSame-sex couples are finally getting equal treatment on The Kansas City Star's "Celebrations" page. The Star ran the first wedding announcement for a gay couple on Sunday -- a month after Charles A. and Michael J. Hewitt claimed that the Star and the Independence Examiner refused to run their announcement. At the time, Star reader rep Derek Donovan told The Pitch that the Hewitts' announcement was turned down because of an outdated policy, but the Star was changing it. I

  • Throwback MP3 of the Week: the Breakups, "Forever, For Now"

    Once a week, Wayward Blog brings to you an MP3 of music from the area's musical past. This little sonic nugget comes from The Kansas City Hardcore Compilation Vol. I. This four-song, four-band 7" came out in 1995, and featured Cretin 66, Switchstance, the Sex Offenders, and the Breakups. We're featuring the Breakups' "Forever, For Now" for no other reason than I've been listening to a lot of pop-punk lately, and this is a perfect example of how something can be called pop-punk and not suck.

    Krystal Myers​This is the worst thought out robbery that I have ever heard of. Imagine the pitch: OK, ladies, you're going to give these guys blowjobs to distract these two guys. Then we'll come up from behind and rob these guys -- or shoot them (while you're blowing them) and then rob them. Then we'll take the money and drugs and run.That's the story alleged in court records about a shooting early Wednesday morning at 2713 Cleveland. Police found two men shot several times in an alley.
