Seems like the biggest festival I hear about here is the Ren Fest. I'll admit it here: I don't get the whole renaissance thing. And wowza, tickets are pricey!
STOP! You're making me homesick!

It might not be a good name but I think it is a hell of a lot easier than Concert-at the-speedway.

It made me miss Chicago, too. I knew coming to KC that it would be different, but honestly, the summer festivals here are one of the things that are most lacking -- and I must tell you one of the main reasons we don't plan to stay. That sounds pretty silly, but to me, street fairs are part of something larger -- community and space making, ya know?

But I do plan to check out all that there is this year!

Do you go to First Fridays or Second Saturdays in the Crossroads?

^When the weather is nice I'm always at First Friday, yes! Love it.

I hate to come across all grumbly, because I really do like KC!
