Conversando Irene H. Ruiz Biblioteca de las Americas Every week Tuesday, 6:30pm-7:30pm Midtown
It’s embarrassing: five years of foreign-language classes, followed by four years of speaking only English. (The exchange with that cab driver in Puerto Vallarta doesn’t really count.) Enter Conversando, a free discussion group at the Irene H. Ruiz Biblioteca de las Americas (2017 West Pennway)... More >>
LASERetro Science City-Union Station Every week Friday, 5:30pm Midtown
During its song “Laser Show,” Fountains of Wayne giddily references Pink Floyd (We’re going straight to the dark side of the moon) and Metallica (We’re gonna sit back, relax, watch the stars/James and Jason, Kirk and Lars). Traditionally, progressive rock and metal accompany laser shows, with... More >>

Best Meal in an Art Gallery 2008: Pi Gallery Pi Gallery Daily from Wed., January 14 until Wed., January 14 Midtown
When Split Lip Rayfield played at the Crossroads Kansas City outdoor theater this past August, the whole 18th Street neighborhood resonated with the sound of bluegrass music. To pay culinary tribute to the band, Pi Gallery owner Jody Wilkins and chef Heather Hands created a special "art dinner"... More >>
Best Wii Bowling 2008: Willie's Field House Willie's Every week Wednesday, 8:00pm Midtown
It's easy to love The Big Lebowski -- consider all those people shouting lines at the movie during the Screenland's midnight showings. It's not the detective novel plot that gets us but the gorgeously rendered bowling fantasies. If we know the Dude, a truly lazy man after our own heart, he'd go... More >>
Cosmology Theater at Linda Hall Library Linda Hall Library Thu., January 8 Midtown
The Pitch 2008 Best Place to Meet Intelligent Men Down a set of stairs inside the Linda Hall Library lies a little jewel called the William N. Deramus III Cosmology Theater. Occupied by solitary people contemplating the universe, it's quiet, dark and sexy. On the screen, an ever-changing array... More >>
Closely Watched Trains Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Sat., January 10, 1:30pm-3:00pm Midtown
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, now playing in local theaters, posits that the wife and son of a Nazi commandant believe that he's running a farm instead of a concentration camp. Closely Watched Trains, the 1968 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film, also centers on an innocent young man... More >>
Zero To Opening in 24 UMKC Performing Arts Center Mon., January 12, 7:30pm Midtown
The seeming spontaneity of David Mamet's famously stylized dialogue — as casually rattled off by, for instance, William H. Macy — is the cumulative result of thousands of hours of writing, memorizing, blocking and rehearsing. If that much preparation and forethought went into sex,... More >>

Best Museum Tour Guide 2008: Dennis Winslett American Jazz Museum Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Midtown
One day this past spring, the American Jazz Museum was filled with a couple of busloads of tourists. One group was aging baby boomers, maybe in town for some convention; the other group looked like European teenagers paying homage to the classic American art form that doesn't get enough love in...

Argentine Tango Thursdays The Red Cow Every week Thursday, 7:30pm Midtown
Don’t let the lack of a partner keep you from the tango — Argentine Tango Thursdays don’t even require dance experience. (Good news for us, perhaps not-so-good news for the person whose toes we step on later.) Tango teacher Kim Papineau gathers the experienced and the amateurs at... More >>
Best Bike Ride 2008: Bicycle Shack Saturday Morning Rides Longview Lake Every week Saturday, 7:45am Midtown
It's a bit of a catch-22 for the novice cyclist. Those slick athletes in aerodynamic helmets and colorful spandex can be inspiring -- and more than a little intimidating. Group rides are good motivation, but they're tempered with the potential for public displays of rookie mistakes and... More >>
The Best Of Full Frontal Comedy: Ten Years H&R Block City Stage Fri., January 9, 7:30pm
more dates/times 		Midtown
Improv troupe Full Frontal Comedy celebrates ten years of naughty and not-so-naughty spontaneity. The anniversary celebration encompasses two nights of very different performances at Union Station -- it's improv, remember? More >>
