This Saturday at the Old Town Farmer’s Market, from 10:00 am till noon, you can enjoy the musical stylings of Trent Wagler and the Steel Wheels.
They may be from Virginia but Trent is the brother of Kim Bontager so he’s almost like a native.

Thoughts on this Twitter thing
May 19th, 2009

Movie review: Star Trek
May 15th, 2009
Eric goes the traditional review route. He likes the film.
Zach skips the deep analysis and speaks as a life long Trek fan.
Dr. Fox enjoyed the movie but does not skip the deep analysis because something about the film, he’s not quite sure what, troubles him.
Dejavaboom waves his Trekker cred, genuflects to the new movie and [...]

This is a must read for local bands and/or aspiring Andy Milmans.
This was not a fight (now updated and corrected)
May 14th, 2009
This was a disagreement, with a bit of name-calling. It was really a Twitter thing between A California Girl in Kansas and Toddblog but it also played out in the blogosphere.
Acgik went first.
Then Toddblog responded (and he shows the Twitter posts to get you non-tweeters up to speed)
Transparency interlude: (switch off first person plural) I [...]
People who get it, blogging about people who don’t get it
May 14th, 2009
Some good examples of Carrie Rengers’ blog-fu:
1. Let your commenters deal with the stupid things some people say
2. Gently allow others to reveal their own silliness
(Bragging, cleverly camoflauged as Transparency: I saw the video before it was taken down. Meh.)
3. Deal kindly with all those who love you but don’t love bloggers.
Because sometimes the power I wield goes to my head
May 14th, 2009
I link to something just because I find it hilarious.

Fresh zombie news
May 6th, 2009
After an application of eye liner, powder and lip color, the dead walk again. The dead may not be able to dance but they do look mah-vah-lous!
The post where I blow the lid off Shea’s cover
May 6th, 2009
The author of A California Girl in Kansas is many, many things: a friend to the party minded, adventurous blogger, friend to the famous and serial dater. That doesn’t even include pug whisperer, pop culture savant and Twitter maven.
But, really, she is a sweeheart.
Blowing things up real good
May 6th, 2009
Release your inner Michael Bay and look on in wide-eyed glee at locally produced explosions.
Recipe: Banana-Walnut Chocolate-Chunk Cookies
May 6th, 2009
The name of the cookie itself makes us drool a little. This passage makes our right eye twitch with desire:
Don’t be afraid of the two different kinds of flour in these cookies. The 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour makes them nice and chewy, sort of halfway between a cookie and banana bread.
Halfway between heaven [...]

Begruding bye-bye
May 4th, 2009
Hal bids a tepid adieu to Anita Cochran.
We are big John Snyder fans from his days in OKC. Hopefully he won’t be assigned the Sunday night smirk detail. Roger and Larry so thoroughly dominate the “thinly veiled contempt for the viewer” niche maybe he can try a different angle.

Ah Gridiron. You are funny and semi-musical and you gore all oxen equally.

So how did that March for Babies thing turn out?
