PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3 | PART 4 | PART 5

Kansas City , MO
Well, first things first, we go to the club to make sure there's still a concert. We get there, and it's in the ghetto. No KMFDM posters hanging up. But we stick our head in the door and ask a guy inside if there's a KMFDM concert tonight and he says yes. Cool. So we head off to find the hotel, but I didn't thnk to bring a very detailed map of Kansas City, so we're a little bit lost and I'm stressing out. So we stop at a gas station and I buy a super-cool laminated, everywhere you need to know map of Kansas City, and we find the hotel, no problem. It's 4 or 5 and we haven't had lunch, I'm getting weak, tired and hungry. So we go out looking for some food areas, but we make a wrong turn and don't find shit for quite a while. Eventually we come across a little cafe in a strip mall. Eat there. It was ok. My pork chops were a bit chewy. But it revives us some. We go back to the hotel and rest for about 45 minutes before we get ready for the show.

finally some KMFDM in the smallest club ever


We got our spots front and center early on and kept them throughout the night.


There's Andy!


Steve & Andy. (Jules was on the far side of me & I never got any shots of him, Sorry Jules)

 

After the show, the club was in no hurry to kick anyone out, so we stopped and chatted w/everyone in the band. And we finally got our picture taken w/Andy!


For some reason, I was making a really stupid face. Oh well. Andy is such a nice guy, he sat and chatted w/us for like 10 minute!


DJ Acucrack was actually pretty good, and helped to get us pysched up for some KMFDM

 

After Acucrack, they had to reconfigure the stage for KMFDM, and we got to see our boy, Duncan, hard at work. He's got a red mohawk now!

 

Acucrack helped out and did some sound checks for KMFDM.


Here is the one good picture I got during the concert. Otherwise being too jostled around by the crowd.

Ghostly Steve.


Not a good picture of Sashca.

 

 


We each got our picture w/Sascha, who thankfully was feeling better, back to drinking and smoking.

On to Chanute, KS
