The band in the pictures was the second band. They have no name because they said another band already has the name they had. They were having a little contest to see who could name their band. They said the winner could carry their equipment at the next gig.
19:19 -- Crave Cafe. I was driving back from a story when I saw a former vet panhandling by 71 Hwy and Brush Creek Parkway today. I was listening to Venus in Furs by the Velvet Underground via Sonic Spectrum on KCUR. It was about 14:30, and this came to me:
Guilt merchants on the corners
sell you drops of Kharma
gotta pay what you can spare
don't make eye contact
you might get hooked
then your gonna pay the fare
I'm sitting here after work. I'm planning on going to the Roller Warriors game to get some vo for sports. It is totally voluntary, but I want to do this for my friend Ti, plus the roller warriors here locally should get some coverage by the news channels. Sometimes that is how it happens, one person goes out on their own and makes it happen. Today I worked with Bob. Our story started out being another homicide on KC's east side. We met a guy who is fighting crime there -- the drug houses, gangs and such. I fear for him. He is a brave man. On our way back, Paul had us go to a report of a car into a building. Well, it turns out that the car was two cars that collided, and the building was the City Union Mission -- a homeless shelter. One of the homeless people was on that corner, and probably has lost a leg from the accident. But, this is the unbelievable part. Another homeless person apparently caused the accident. He apparently was overheard saying he wanted to cause an accident to watch somebody die. He went to the box that controls the traffic light, and pulled the electrical meter off of it. That caused the lights to go out and the cars to collide. It is hard to fathom that it can be so easy to do that. There seemed to be very little to stop someone from doing that. My liveshot tonight was with Al at the Royals game:
