June was a crazy month. There were shows, incredibly hot weather, and more complaints about Kansas City than you can shake a stick at, but that's not the point. The month began with the party folks from North Carolina, otherwise known as Widow making their, what seems to be an annual tradition now, return engagement to Kansas City along with Las Vegas, Nevada's party folks known as Seventh Calling. As you would expect, there was much drinking and much metal music. This month also saw the old man hit the big 7-0, so a party was held at Smithville Lake with family, including a few that made the trip from New Mexico. The next morning, I went with the relatives to New Mexico, which for the first time in a while, didn't feel like a thirteen hour drive. Well, there was an extra three hours to Albuquerque, but that's not important. What is important is that road trips are what you make of it. As Widow says, "Road trips can be fun if you choose to make it that way."
The week in New Mexico was hot, but not oppressively so. That week included the Museum of Natural History and Sciences, a minor-league baseball game, sampling the night life, the zoo, and of course, Iron Maiden. This month ended just like it began: with a metal show, featuring Skelator, and even though I had to turn in early, since it was a week night and I needed to be up early, it was a good show overall, though I would like for people here in Kansas City to actually try and make it out to more shows.
