Heet Mob, CES Cru, Record Bar Thu., January 8 Westport
Heet Mob keeps good company. It consorts with hip-hop gods, collaborating with Public Enemy’s Slam Jamz label and opening for the Roots in July. Connections notwithstanding, Heet Mob qualifies as a self-contained network, with a diverse roster of lyricists, vocalists and musicians. ... More >>
Lisa Alcalay Klug Jewish Community Center Thu., January 8, 7:30pm Leawood
If Jeff Foxworthy is the universal spokesman for rednecks, Lisa Alcalay Klug (pictured at right) is well on her way to becoming the spokeswoman for 21st-century American Jews. Her shtick: "You know you're a cool Jew if you speak with great emotion, conviction, good humor, irreverence and, of... More >>
Five Fingers of Death (AKA King Boxer) Kansas City, Kansas, Public Library Main Branch Thu., January 8, 6:00pm Kansas City, Kansas
You could stage a pretty awesome fight sequence in a library. Suddenly, sexy librarians would be letting their hair down, doing back flips and throwing No. 2 pencils like ninja darts, books flying every which way, shelves toppling like dominoes — all because some gang lord refused to pay... More >>
Choga Korean Restaurant Choga Korean Restaurant Daily Overland Park
Whenever North Korea is in the headlines, the news is usually disturbing. Last week, there was the announcement that it was restarting its plutonium reprocessing plant and barring U.N. inspectors. And there's the ongoing drama surrounding the ailing health of the mysterious Kim Jong-il —... More >>
A Painter's Pad Thomas Hart Benton Home Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 10:00am-4:00pm Westport
Thomas Hart Benton moved to Kansas City in 1935 to teach at the Kansas City Art Institute, where he produced the predictably controversial and indisputably sexxxy "Persephone," an American regionalist interpretation of the mythical story of the goddess of fertility. The work now hangs at the... More >>

Anna Beyer always wanted her own fashion boutique. At 28, she finally set up shop in an old house near downtown Shawnee and called it Top Shelf Couture.

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 >>
Aubergine Vintage Couture Aubergine Vintage Couture Daily Westport
Old black-and-white movies can make our grandparents' wardrobes seem awfully romantic. Women didn't leave the house without stockings, men always wore hats and T-shirts were considered underwear. But anyone who goes out in a New Deal-era getup on a summer day in 2008 risks looking... More >>
Best Jog: Wyandotte County Lake Park Wyandotte County Lake Park Daily Wyandotte County
There's nothing wrong with the Trolley Track Trail. For the urban runner, it's a quiet place to tune out, turn on the iPod, and put in a few miles with fellow runners and the odd bunny rabbit nosing around in the manicured grass. But the flat terrain can get old quickly. Same goes for Loose... More >>
Silk Steel Clay Dolphin Gallery Every week Saturday from Sat., January 3 until Fri., January 30, 12:00pm-5:00pm
more dates/times 		Downtown
If the walls of the Dolphin Art Gallery (1600 Liberty) could talk, they would probably say something thoughtful in hushed tones of meditative Zen reservation. The new space quietly sprawls in the old stockyards area of the West Bottoms. The gallery's sparse white walls and concrete floor make... More >>
The Fragrance Garden: A Journey for the Senses Powell Gardens Daily from Tue., January 6 until Sun., March 8, 9:00am-5:00pm North
What smelled good in 1967 still smells good today. At least, that’s the concept of a new living exhibit at Powell Gardens (1609 Northwest U.S. Highway 50 in Kingsville, 816-697-2600). The Fragrance Garden: A Journey for the Senses includes such intoxicating flowers as jasmine and gardenia.... More >>

Lunch 'N Bowl Special Mission Bowl Every week Tuesday, Thursday, 11:00am-2:00pm Mission
With casual-dining restaurants offering fast-food prices, it's becoming easier to avoid drive-throughs at lunchtime. Instead of heading for the nearest T.G.I. Friday's, consider Frito pie or chicken fingers ... at a bowling alley. Every Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Mission Bowl...
