Spring Break
Not unlike the recent political scandals, the UMKC Theatre Department's production of "The Country Wife" is about sex, money and infidelity. The play, written by William Wycherley, is set in London, England during the Restoration in the late 1600s and has two main plots.
Many people have been busying themselves with essays and mid-term exams before the spring break reprieve. I've been thinking about toe cleavage. Toe cleavage is found when the crack between the first two toes on a foot is revealed in low cut shoes, just as a low cut top would expose cleavage of the chest.
Despite a small turnout during a week where many students were still preparing for midterm exams, a group of UMKC students enjoyed a night of big screen Wii March 12 at Royal Hall. Players competed against each other in bowling and golf. Images of the games were projected via a large monitor which gave participants and viewers a bigger picture of the action.
EP's from local bands occasionally float my way, but it is rare that I receive a complete album so polished and utterly enjoyable as "Naked Feet" by Kansas City's own Fairbanks. My personal acquaintance with the band has been quite unusual. Last spring, I had the opportunity to view a sophisticated music video for the song "Elevator," directed by Fairbanks saxophonist Marshall Tinnermeier.
The music made you want to jump up and dance in the isle at the UMKC 3:30 Combo and Latin Combo concert. 3:30 had a variety of jazz styles, and showcased jazz from the 1930s and '40s up until the swanky sway of the 1970s. Rudolph Torrini, freshman, was exceptionally good wailing on the saxophone and clarinet.
The Power and Light District is almost complete and many of its new restaurants are operating in full swing. Vinino is no exception. Vinino, located at 1320 Grand Blvd., is a plush new restaurant, dressed in dark wood and velvety red. Its large dining room cuts a wide swath of space from a street-side address facing the newly christened Sprint Center.
If you are ever looking for somewhere to stop for a quick, yet delicious lunch at a reasonable price, Sharks is the place for you. Sharks provides a variety of fresh fish and chicken items and a variety of sides and fruity drinks to choose from. Located in the Linwood square shopping center at 3031 Prospect Ave.
A Kansas City native has become a figure-head for peace. "Body of War," directed by Ellen Spiro, documents Steven Young's, Iraq war veteran experience after coming back home. The focus of the film deals with the ravages of war and its detrimental effect on humanity.
