Bacon Festival<\/a>.\u00a0 It was a beautiful day out and we’d been thinking about going anyway, so we went ahead and showed up.\u00a0 I would characterize the event on the whole as “different.”\u00a0 From the location (West Bottoms,) to the theme, to the entertainment, it was a rather eclectic event.\u00a0 All in a good way though.\u00a0 We spent most of the three hours we were there trying out the various bacon-themed dishes on site;\u00a0 bacon ice-cream (gross as it sounds,) bacon and chocolate cake, pork rinds, shredded pork, and of course the almost-famous bacon explosion.\u00a0 Not to mention plenty of just plain ol’ bacon.\u00a0 They also had a bacon-eating constest, which made me a bit queasy just watching, and a local band called Bacon Shoe.\u00a0 Not quite sure how to describe the band;\u00a0 A rather bizarre cross between musicians, comedians, and performance artists.\u00a0 Maybe it was the pork overload, but I found them hilarious, if maybe a bit “edgy” for afternoon entertainment.\u00a0 I had to wonder if the organizers had listened to them before signing them for the event, or if they just went with them because they had the word “bacon” in their name.\u00a0 I saw at least one of them walk in, listen for a few minutes, then walk back out with a pained expression on her face.\u00a0 Look them up if you want an idea of their bizarre-ness;\u00a0 I would link to their site but it’s a bit, er…\u00a0 Inappropriate.\u00a0 After we had our fill of pork product, we headed back to midtown and checked our newest neighborhood spot, “The Well.”\u00a0 It opened a few weeks ago near Tanners on Wornall, and given their large rooftop deck and the fine weather, we decided it would be a good day to try them out.\u00a0 Little fancy for us I think, but we’ll drop in now and then I imagine, mostly because the deck is so cool.\u00a0 After that we headed to John & Susan’s house to round out our day with a fine dinner of grilled steak.\u00a0 Yum.<\/p>\nSunday I got up and went out target practicing with my friend Mark.\u00a0 There was quite a wait at the range, so that kinda stunk, but we had fun when we finally got our turn.\u00a0 I stopped by the Brooksider on the way home, where Doni’s parents were enjoying some chicken wings, and had a tasty sandwich myself.\u00a0 After that, well, I logged into work and killed the rest of my evening.\u00a0 Wanna hear all about that?\u00a0 Nahhhh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
That weekend was “OK.”\u00a0 Got a little marred by work, but that happens.\u00a0 Friday night I was sorta-kinda-almost working so we didn’t really do anything.\u00a0 Cooked up a nice dinner and then kept half an eye on my PC while watching television.\u00a0 Bleh. Saturday was my day-o-fun for the weekend.\u00a0 We started the day right […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
