Here it is, readers. This is not only our last column of 2015 but also our very last column here at LJ-World/Lawrence.com. Remember that you can always find us on Twitter [@LarryvilleLife][1] (without ever being asked to take a pesky survey). Happy New ...
With Christmas on a Friday, pickings are a little slim. Lucky for you, we found a few options to get you out on the town if holiday cabin fever sets in. http://www.lawrence.com/users/photos/2015/dec/19/300914/ **Jazzhaus Xmas Jam, 10 p.m. Friday at Jazzhaus** We weren't entirely sure ...
Season's greetings, constant readers! This week we're focusing on a few traditional holiday events, a few off-the-radar events, and a few of our personal holiday favorites. Have you ever seen a more culturally-jampacked ...
This week's column starts on Wednesday in a galaxy far, far away but also touches down in some familiar locales closer to home, such as the Replay (although, as a friend often notes, the Replay is really not so different from the cantina scene in "Star Wars"). We've also found room for THREE ...
Thanksgiving is over, which means that (by today's cultural standards) it's pretty much Christmas. Expect to see a holiday event or two popping up in most of this month's columns along with the usual array of music, movies, art and ...
Thanksgiving approaches, but there's plenty to do in LFK for those who aren't trekking to parts unknown. Alongside our more traditional selections, we also recommend that you watch a landmark crumble, be a brave pilgrim and attend the first-ever Franksgiving celebration at Leeway Franks, ...
The holidays approach, like it or not, and we've got holiday and anti-holiday options below, as well as plenty of stuff that has nothing to do with the holidays whatsoever. Those are good, too. http://www.lawrence.com/users/photos/2015/nov/14/299286/ **Benefit for Lawrence Community Photo ...
This week's diverse mix of picks contains everything from circus performances to sausage-themed soirees to spoken-word poetry. Soak it up. http://www.lawrence.com/users/photos/2015/nov/06/298923/ **Nerd Nite 43: Body Movin', 8 p.m. Wednesday at Maceli's** Sometimes we just have an ...
Halloween may be over, but costumes and cosplay are all over this week's installment, which includes an annual comedy treat, a burlesque "hexstravaganza," and a screening of a sci-fi/comedy cult classic. All that and ASSJAMZ too. ...
We recommend you devote yourself to Halloween-related mischief for the rest of the week and weekend. http://www.lawrence.com/users/photos/2015/oct/26/298443/ **Science of the Macabre, 7 p.m. Thursday at KU Natural History Museum** Let's face it: Many (if not most) Halloween-type ...
Halloween approaches, but we haven't drifted fully into ghoulish high jinks in our weekly picks just yet. Perhaps next week. In the meantime, you'll find a few Halloween treats nestled in between the usual film, music and art ...
A whole lot of music and a pre-Halloween horror flick await you in this week's column. Expect us to amp up the spooky picks in the next few weeks as the holiday nears. http://www.lawrence.com/users/photos/2015/oct/10/297783/ **Hot Rize, doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. Thursday at Liberty ...
Our column is evolving this week. Instead of focusing only on weekend events, we're broadening the scope to include a full week's worth of happenings. http://www.lawrence.com/users/photos/2015/oct/03/297448/ **Vic Mensa, doors at 7 p.m. Thursday at Lied Center** When local hip-hop ...
We're all about the "new" this week. Learn some new dances. See an old band with a new name. Check out a new fall festival. Buy a new CD from local favorites. Watch an old movie (which still retains the power to reveal new things). That's our advice for this weekend. ...
With the exception of Radkey's present-tense punk fury, this week's column turns its attention toward the past. If you're looking for a reason to dress like a 70's swinger or a Prohibition-era gangster, you're in luck. Or perhaps you prefer to relive the early days of Split Lip Rayfield or ...
This week's column doesn't have a theme but, as SNL's Stefon would once have said, this weekend *does* have **everything**: a fundraising feast full of BBQ and hushpuppies, some "doe-eyed" Toughies, silent films with orchestral accompaniment, a picnic serenade from a gang of printmakers, and ...
Our showcase event for this weekend is a massive Pet World benefit concert at the Replay. As a further tribute to our pals from Pet World, we're doing a very special themed-installment of this week's column: **every** event below has an animal connection. We've got birds, mythical birds, Paper ...
The students are back in town and hopefully they won't run over you as you make your way to this weekend's cavalcade of cowboy cabarets, "candy-ass dance parties," and fiddling and picking contests in South Park. Good luck! ...
This is the last summer weekend before the students move back into the dorms and LFK kicks into full college-town mode once again. Savor it while you can with good bands at the Replay, big laughs at Jazzhaus, and family fun at ConfabuLarryum. ...
Summer is slowly slipping away. Live it up while you can by sliding down a gigantic water slide in west Lawrence and witnessing the bittersweet farewell from one of LFK's favorite bands. http://www.lawrence.com/users/photos/2015/jul/31/294866/ **Drakkar Sauna: The Farewell Concert, 7:30 ...
