RON PAUL AT UNION STATION, THE WESTPORT THRE3STYLE DJ COMPETITION, BILL NIGRO, KANSAS CITY FOR SALE AND THE TKC SATURDAY NIGHT PLAYLIST!!!

It was an eventful night in Kansas City.

This cowtown totally took advantage of Global Warming making February so nice.

Anyhoo . . . For me that night started with a packed house at Union Station greeting Ron Paul.

Here's what I liked . . .

A FEW THOUSAND SUPPORTERS AT KANSAS CITY'S UNION STATION FOR RON PAUL AREN'T NEARLY AS VENGEFUL AS THE REST OF THE GOP ANGRY ABOUT A CHOICE AMONG PEOPLE THEY DON'T REALLY RESPECT!!!

Respect to Ron Paul . . . He's a pro. The acoustics in Union Station were horrible as usual so he cut down his speech to catchphrases about ending the Fed, The U.S. is "slipping into a fascist system" and a bunch of other very high minded ideals that'll never happen.



Crown Center lights . . . Kinda cool.



Then it was off to the Red Bull Thre3Style: Kansas City 2012. It was a DJ competition that was kinda cool if white people enjoying music that Black people pioneered 30 years ago is your thing.

Still . . . The good folks at Redbull made this an interesting marketing event and it was nice to see so many local performers shill for the caffeinated drink.

And then . . .



TKC WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND HAD A NICE "DISCUSSION" WITH BILL NIGRO AS HE WORKED THE OLD AND BUSTED INTEREST FREE LOAN KANSAS CITY STRIP TROLLEY!!!

He argued that his trolly was a public service to Kansas City.

I responded that the SWEET INTEREST FREE LOAN was a shameful bit of privilege that doesn't really help anybody but the petty bourgeoisie bar owning class.

An employee of Bill George reminded me that they create jobs . . . I was in a rush and I forgot to mention that I've never seen a person of color employed by the KC Strip Trolly . . .

Still . . . BILL NIGRO GAVE US A BIT OF A TKC EXCLUSIVE AND TOLD US THAT THE STAR IS SOON TO PUBLISH AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE KC STRIP PAYING THEIR (INTEREST FREE) LOAN BACK TO KANSAS CITY!!!

I still think they're going bankrupt because while I was arguing with Mr. Nigro there was a trolley with a grand total of 4 people stepping off at around 10 in the PM . . . But, I'll reserve judgement until I read more PR from our paper of record.

Tonight's conclusion . . .

I don't know if the economy is getting better (it's not) BUT EVERYBODY IN KANSAS CITY HAS SOMETHING TO SELL!!!

Whether it's hustling votes, pushing energy drinks, or taxpayer subsidized schemes . . . Tonight, everybody in Kansas City was busy making their pitch.

And all of this has inspired tonight's playlist . . .

As always, thank you for reading and have a safe and fun weekend.
