If you’ve been opening these emails for a while, hi again. But if we haven’t properly met.

I’m Lo Mchel, a queer creative in Kansas City who spends most of their time pampering Loki (my Frenchie) and trying to convince y’all to leave the house. I’ve been behind a lot of what you see here at Do816.

We’re rolling out a few changes soon, new sections, Featured Giveaways right up top, and more ways to highlight the artists, shows, and spaces that make KC feel like home.

Now, let’s get into what’s happening this weekend and beyond.

• Razor-sharp bars, heavy bass, and zero skips. Freddie Gibbs pulls up for a night of raw lyricism and nonstop energy. Catch one of hip-hop’s most respected voices live.
