So’s, this week I mainly holed up making drawrings and cursing my absence from Comic Con, but Saturday, I did hit an old haunt – The Broadway Café – for a mean cuppa joe and a table to thumbnail some comics pages. (New one up at smalltimerscomic.com)
And, a weekday trip up the street from my house to Da Pizza Place, which was shit tons better than expected from a Truman Road dive.
So’s like the guy at the end of the Lone Ranger says, “Tune in next time!”

So’s like, this week’s adventures started with a trip to the Ameristar Casino, where I won big! By not gambling at all and watching Predators, the baddest ass B movie I’ve seen since Jurassic Park 3.
Saturday was a trip to the Crossroads to Grinder’s where I got the only thing baddest ass’er than the aforementioned Predators in the form of their monster meatball grinder.
Then a stopoff for KC’s own ‘lil Jurassic Park at Union Station’s Dino exhibit.
Other than that, just a big buncha drawring at the ranch. Checkout http://workplaceofthedamned.com/smalltimers/?p=191 for the cover of the new comic I’ll be posting every Thursday. Woo hoo!
Required Readin’ – Dennis Tafoya’s The Dope Thief
Required Watchin’ – Jackie Brown (Gotta say it’s better than I remembered it…)

This week coincidentally ended up with a lotta walking around Westport on separate days.
Westport Flea Market makes some badass burgers, and fantastic fried cheese. Plus they got a DOPE ride out front.
Sung Son Vietnamese Bistro had some fantastic pho and a pretty slick buffet. (Normally, I’m not so big on the grab and eat troughs, but the bowl o’ noodles changed my opinion.)
Saw Winter’s Bone at the always awesome Tivoli Theatre.
And, via satellite witnessed Joey Chestnut’s uncontested win at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Extravaganza.
Required Readin’ – Thuglit’s Sex,Thugs and Rock & Roll anthology packs a punch.
Required Watchin’ – Every Which Way But Loose. It’s Clint Eastwood and an ape with a heap of biker beating and bare knuckled boxing!

So’s like, this week, was father’s day. So’s, I went with the nephew, niece, moms and stepdad to Corner Café in Independence where I chowed on an awesome omelet and super cinnamon roll. Also, I was ecstatic to discover the level of my peers when my ten year old nephew made sure to elbow me in the arm to show off the fact that he was dropping paper in his little sister’s hair.
Thursday, I stopped by the Pharoah theatre as they were setting up for freebie summer moofies.
Jason’s Deli in the O.P. made a rockin’ reuben on rye.
Required Readin’ - Scott Phillips’ The Ice Harvest and Vertigo’s Jonah Hex: Only the Good Die Young.
Required Watchin’ – Joe Carnahan’s new A-Team beat some ass. I pity fools ain’t watching this movie!
Stay sleazy!

So’s like, this week, Friday was a gorgeous, long (albeit sweaty) walk in Shawnee Mission Park with the girl.
Saturday detoured to old school Clem’s Drive-in in Independence, where I’d HOPED to get a brain sandwich but had to settle for pretty precious pork tenderloin with opulent onion rings.
Then out for a cool night out at the Municipal Auditorium to see the KC Roller Warriors vs. the Northwest Arkansas Killbillies! (A friend skates for the Arkansans.) I still don’t understand the whole thing, but it’s wimmens on skates smacking into each other, so I’m pretty good with it all. All washed down with a tremendous triple cheeseburger at Winsteads!
Sunday morning, I headed with the aforementioned, and now sore, friend to Dim Sum at Bamboo Gardens for a healthy helping of homecooked jellyfish, tripe, and various other Fear Factor’es-que stuffs.
ANNNND there was the late announcement that I’ma be a new Associate Editor on Plots With Guns magazine!
Okay, next week, same fat channel, same fat time!

So, this week… Awesomeness at Blue Bird Bistro near the Cross Roads(killer omelet, bruschetta, hummus and some kinda cookie with ice cream I bit the shit out of despite being lactose intolerant.)
An early Saturday AM stroll through the Independence Farmer’s Market, where I was too lazy to go to an ATM for cucumber purchasing.
A long walk in the park with a girl and some geese to pre-emptively walk off Winstead’s and Long John Silver’s with A&W Rootbeer.
Topping it all off Wednesday chowing down Red Snapper’s Mandarin chicken with the girls from the ad department at Labconco (Yo! Shoutout, what?)
Tune in Next Week when I eat… Something… and probably a lot of it…

kansascity Last weekend one of my best friends in the world was in from LA opening a great show for the queen of mean at the Uptown. Sunday made for serious BBQ at Smokehouse, where I even put the sauce on the broccoli to make it taste like people food.

Okay, so’s I’m a day late. But, last week’s adventures - Mugs Up Root Beer in Independence for a whopping Whiz Burger. Then to Curt’s Meats to pickup 2 bloody manly man porterhouses for the grill, and my very own 4 cheese, baked, goodass mac and cheese!
