As for the Final Friday arts scene, we made both of our promised stops. BARRR's much-buzzed about ICANHASJAIL opening lived up to its hype, taking us frighteningly deep into the mind of J-Barr which, as it turns out, is a colorful place of "back-rub parties" and barbarian snowmen. We award the show four out of four PBR's (and maybe a "special" cookie). Down at Quinton's, the Q5 Gallery took over the upstairs area, though it didn't seem to attract the area's usual mix of half-naked sorostitutes, much to the boys' disappointment. Our Twitter-friend Leo, one of the gallery's artists, explained that the works were hung high to avoid jostling during the later-evening dance parties. Verdict: four out of four drinks at the ice-bar.

Weekend Recap: Art and Kansas Day
Readers, it was an eventful day at the Free State Brewery Kansas Day Costume Contest yesterday. Chip's blackface performance of Langston Hughes' "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" brought a tear to many an eye (opinions vary as to WHY so many were crying). And Richard's impersonation of William Burroughs' got a round of applause as he shot a glass of Emancipation Pale off Chip's head. But sadly the award went to...well, we don't know, since nobody bothers to report this stuff, which is why we must resort to fiction. And while the aforementioned may not be true, the boys DID witness a dog catch on fire at an Eastside Kansas Day bonfire this weekend (relax, PETA, it was Lucky's own fault, and he wasn't injured, and there was plenty of snow nearby to put him out).

I think Free State plans to post photos on their Facebook page, and the costume with the highest votes win. It's not too late for Chip! I don't see any photos up yet, though.
I love it when librarians take a break from their serious literature to enjoy my lowbrow boner jokes! Thanks for the tip. Will keep an eye on their Facebook page.
You wouldn't believe the boner jokes we hear at the library.
Thanks for making it to ICANHASJAIL... It was a blast!
