Rockers, and Hippies, and Drag Queens - Oh, My!

by Pa Rock
Tourist

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band are at the Sprint Center in Kansas City this evening - and tickets are going for around $125 a pop.  (That's about half of what it cost to see Cher and Cyndi Lauper last May.)  The Sprint Center is right downtown across the street from the  Power and Light District, and Seger is sure to have the whole area rocking and singing along with his band's many memorable hits!

The website, visitkc.com, is promoting the Bob Seger concert - as well as two full web pages of other happenings in and around Kansas City this weekend.  What that city's primary tourist guide doesn't list, however, is also worth a mention.  Famous drag queen, RuPaul, is bringing her "Drag Race" to the Uptown Theatre late tonight - and her ladies will also have an impact on the local cultural scene.

All of that and plenty more is happening in Kansas City this evening - whether visitkc.com approves or not.  My little group will be at the KC Repertory Theatre watching the opening night of "Hair," where people are likely to be singing along even more joyfully than the thousands spending their evening with Bob Seger at the Sprint Center!

It's so nice to spend the weekend in a place where there are entertainment options!
