Free fallin': Friday, Aug. 29, 2008; You may have noticed those bright orange signs proclaiming St. Joseph a 2008 Creative Community when you drive up and down Frederick Avenue.
Wanna know how it got that title? Do ya?
If you go check out any number of arts events this fall, you’ll see why. Whether it’s competing conductors, hit musicals, Midwest art or a Stephen King masterpiece being brought to the stage, there’s something anyone can appreciate this upcoming fall season besides leaves changing colors, Halloween and new episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Holiday music: Friday, Aug. 29, 2008; Don’t say there’s nothing to do in St. Joseph. Fred Moore, professionally known as DJ Heat, has taken care of that problem — at least for this weekend.
Luck of the Irish: Friday, Aug. 29, 2008; St. Patrick’s Day is long over, but there’s no reason you can’t celebrate your Irish heritage all year long. And the KC Irish Fest is just the place to do it.
A blend of technology: Friday, Aug. 29, 2008; After a show in Boston one night in May, the members of the Republic Tigers got in their van to travel to New York City for their next performance. They arrived at their destination at 5 a.m. the next morning. The musicians were exhausted, so they decided to park in front of the venue and rest. That venue was the Ed Sullivan Theater. They were the musical guests on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
“There we were,” Kenn Jankowski, the band’s lead vocalist, recalls, “camping out in front of the place like guests normally DON’T do.”

The Shuffle: Another brick in the Wal: Friday, Aug. 29, 2008; The land of CD retailers is becoming increasingly desolate terrain in today’s music industry. iPods are the norm, and CDs are slowly but surely going the way of the 8-Track and Betamax, turning compact discs into very fashionable coasters.
That game we play? Is age just a number?: Friday, Aug. 29, 2008; They say age is just a number, but I’ve always wondered if that was true when it came to dating.
In high school, I dated a sophomore when I was a senior and, to be honest, I kind of felt like a child molester every time we kissed. That’s part of the reason the relationship only lasted three weeks.

Always honest: Friday, Aug. 22, 2008; Weighing approximately 400 pounds, Ralphie May gets some looks in public. But when he’s on stage with a microphone, he has everyone’s full attention. May brings his act to the Improv Comedy Club in Kansas City this weekend.
That game we play: Friday, Aug. 22, 2008; In all the years I’ve been dating, I’ve been single more often than not. One thing my friends and family have often attributed my acute singleness to was the fact that I am so freakin’ picky.
A jam for Jordan: Friday, Aug. 22, 2008; He may have passed away more than 30 years ago, but the music of pioneering jazz saxophonist and bandleader Louis Jordan holds a special place in the heart of local musician Jerry Maccoux.
Artist of the Week: The Leo Project: Friday, Aug. 22, 2008; Kansas City quartet The Leo Project went from singer/guitarist Tyler Lyon’s hard rock side project to one of those regional groups destined for bigger things. The fact that they’ve opened for metal/ hard rock heavyweights like Slipknot, Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown sure helps.
