Kansas City! It's HOT, and I need a pool to jump into. I'm avoiding my apartment pool because all the cute little kids are out for summer, and I'm not trying to spend my afternoon dodging cannonballs. I need an adults-only pool party. If you're hosting one... invite me.

In the meantime, let's win some tickets, shall we? TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, and En Vogue are bringing the nostalgia to Starlight Theatre on September 30th, and we don't want y'all to miss it. Enter now, then share, share, share. The more friends you refer, the better your chances of winning. Good luck, y'all!

KANSAS CITY’S BEST BBQ SPOTS

Ask ten Kansas Citians where to get the best barbecue, and you'll get at least twelve different answers. Here are some of my friends’ favorite spots to grab smoked meats and all the fixings. (Y’all know I don’t eat meat, the sides are FIRE tho.)

Anyways, think I missed one? Let me know, I’m always looking for an excuse to do more "research."
