Caffeine withdrawal sucks.

I went three days without coffee.  WORST THREE DAYS OF MY LIFE.  Well, I’m exaggerating.  But still. That whole “break my caffeine addiction” goal thing?  Not working.

On the bright side, today was the first Friday of the month.  First Fridays?  Hell yes.  Most of the time, I think Kansas City is pretty lame.  First Fridays, however, make me love this place.  For anyone who doesn’t know, First Fridays happen the first Friday of every month (how ironic?) and are pretty much parties in Crossroads (the art district).  GO THERE.

Tonight, the Quixotic dance company held a performance, and it was absolutely incredible.  All of the music was live, and the musicians were lively and interacting with the dancers the entire time.  Some of the acts featured breathtaking aerialists (think Cirque du Soleil), and at one point the singer even joined in with a flaming hula hoop.  The non-profit company will be performing their full show June 17-19.  I highly encourage anyone interested in contemporary dance to attend.

This weekend finishes up Gay Pride Week in KC, so I hope I’ll head down to Power & Light at some point.  The majority of my friends are out of town right now, so I’m not really sure what to do with myself…

Speaking of being out of town, I’ll be going to New York in a few weeks.  Can anyone suggest places I absolutely need to see?

Now I’m going to go peel some more skin off my back (damn sunburn…) and watch A Beautiful Mind again.

Love and stuff. -M
