Well well well. I'm starting to think there's really nothing that can't happen here in Kansas City.
At a new Paul Taylor dance performance couple of months ago, I saw 2 boys kissing on stage at a high school theater.
Last weekend, this dizzy girl showed me her p*ssy at a straight bar.
This week, we got to see some flag burning at the world premiere of John Brown.
Not in a million years could I have imagined an opera about 19th century Kansas.
But there it was, a 3.5 hour-long brand new production narrating the anti-slavery efforts of controversial abolitionist hero John Brown, who would probably be labelled as a terrorist had he lived in post-9/11 modern days.
Never mind the "God created one race to lead and another to follow" singing dialogues.
Never mind the parades of Warren Jeffs Mormon-like prairie dresses.
Never mind the Arias praising the "lovely appearance of death".
Never mind its complete lack of musicality.
Never mind the fact that this tedious premiere may also be its last showing!
I'm just amazed to find out that the Kansas City region was right in the middle of the anti-slavery tipping point in American history!! That John Brown led a series of murders and raids that eventually triggered the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery.
To see this story playing out on stage in KC itself was just a unique experience.
This shit hole is special~ :)

Out here in the Great Plains, you just can't escape from the angry power of nature.
Honestly, I think that's why people here are so religious. Every time you step out of the house, it feels like some god is trying to punish you with extreme weather.
If we had thunders, the windows would shake so hard it keeps you awake all night long. When there are multiple lightening forks dancing around, the night sky turns into a nonstop laser spectacular. (Didn't know they can run horizontally~!) In fact, I love watching them so much that I moved upstairs to the penthouse :P
Our local weather forecast, is practically a geography text book. The kinda alien vocabulary they use is eye opening:-
Freezing rain, slurry mixed snow, ice storm , arctic air, sleet, black ice, ping pong-sized hail, etc.
You name it, we have it! (with one notable exception, of course. ~the tsunami~)
Oh and did I mention our extreme temperature that loves to yo-yo between sub-zero and three-digits?
Anyway. Checked off one more item from that list today. I just finished grocery shopping when this rather dull siren came on.
May Day TORNADO~!
My 1st warning ever!! That was actually quite cool. Funny that people on the street all looked a bit confused. Surely they couldn't have believed the urban myth that tornados only strike on Sunday afternoons around 4pm?!
Feeling determined, I dragged my saggy arse to the gym as planned, and MY Oh MY!. It was *choke full* of gorgeous men! Never has that place been soooo packed b4. Aren't we supposed to hide in a windowless basement rather than flexing in front of mirror walls? Is this a male thing?? Some whirling charged-clouds induced, Y-chromosome-dependent animal phenomenon?!
Needless to say, I'm already looking 4ward to the next one :)
... well ok, as long as nobody dies.

Connections
Just had a lovely work dinner. Our charming guest of honor Dr Bargmann gave a fascinating talk this afternoon. Amongst a dozen of achievements, she discovered a gene that makes worms sociable.
!!
A glass or 2 later, I was bullshiting as usual, about kindergarten philosophy, fruitfly free will and worm consciousness. I even asked her about those flatworms!
It was only *afterwards* that we figured out she was Richard Axel's wife! Lucky I didn't say anything too far out :P
