How I came to live in Lawrence
I graduated K-State in 2006 and got a job in Lenexa. While I was in Manhattan, I had to drive to Lawrence to see all of my favorite musicians play. I just couldn't justify graduating, moving to KC/Johnson County, and then still having to drive to Lawrence to see all of my bands play (since they rarely play in Kansas City).
