Friends, I’m still in Cali, and I haven’t been away from Loki this long in a long time. And one thing I know about my baby boy? He loves to act crazy the second I leave him.

So what did he do, you ask? Oh, nothing major… just found some chocolate. That’s right. Chocolate. Meanwhile, I’m out here in Cali while Loki is back in KC plotting ways to stress me out. Don’t panic (I already did). He’s fine now, but he definitely likes to give me a heart attack every now and then.

Did anyone else have a slightly stressful weekend? Let me give you something to look forward to. HERS is making its debut this Thursday, and we’ve got tickets with your name on them. Catch the first one on April 30th. Hit the link and enter, we got you.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• There are voices that sound good, and then there’s Leela James. Catch her May 1st at The Madrid. If you’re in your feelings or trying to be, secure your tickets now.

• High energy, loud hooks, and built for a live crowd, Pop Evil hits The Truman on April 28th, ready to shake the room. It’s the kind of rock show that doesn’t let up. Grab your tickets.

• May 12th is not a calm night. Bring Me The Horizon takes over T-Mobile Center with a full-scale sonic assault of metalcore, alt-rock, and futuristic production. It’s intense and emotional. Secure your tickets now.

• June 7th turns into a heavy metal history lesson when Anvil hits The Bottleneck. These legends helped shape the sound of thrash, and they still bring it live with zero signs of slowing down. This is the one—tickets are a must.

KC’S BEST HIKES & TRAILS

Sure, KC is known for its barbecue and jazz (as it should be). But if you look past the plates and playlists, you’ll find some seriously slept-on hiking trails worth the detour.
