Attention all yodelers, cat jugglers, and Harlem Globetrotters: Kansas City's historic El Torreon is reopening, and in an effort to raise funds for building restoration, organizers are hosting a talent show. Interested parties should call (816) 561-3596 or (816) 359-9085 to register for their chance to compete. There is a $15 entrance fee for performers and a jackpot of $100 or more, depending on the number of participants. The all-ages show costs $2 at the door and begins at noon on Sunday, August 10th, giving competitors less than two weeks to master weight lifting and spoon bending.

This could be cool. So many fond memories of that place. Anal Cunt's performance that got them banned. Snapcase on my 18th birthday. Dillinger Escape Plan twice. The motherfucking GC5!! I even remember seeing a little band called My Chemical Romance play. Oh and Lamb of God before they started playing arenas/charging $50 for a t-shirt. Kansas City needs an all ages venue.

Honestly, I'd rather attend a benefit for Record Bar to add a second stall in the mens room than to help re-open a place that sucked to go to, sucked to play and sucked to use the can in.
