for the Dim Mak vs. Fool’s Gold / Fool’s Gold vs. Dim Mak Screaming Bloody Murder Tour that starts TONIGHT in New York City. Mere words aren’t going to be able to describe what this means for you, so check this out:

If you live in/around/near/ one of the cities this tour is visiting, it is highly recommended you try and catch some of the craziness. We’re still trying to figure out what we would need to sell to get to Chicago by the 16th - people only need one kidney, right?!

Usually folks here in Lawrence head out to the bars to hear great music, but recently we’ve all been heading to the bars to cheer on our local basketball team, the University of Kansas Jayhawks, as they play in the March Madness NCAA Basketball Tournament. Sunday afternoon the ‘Hawks held off Davidson college to advance into the Final Four, and the entire town of Lawrence went NUTS. Instantly, kids (of all ages) flooded into the streets, screaming and yelling, waving anything KU they could grab. The town was pretty much shut down for the celebration, as boobies and alcoholic beverages has free run of the streets. For a small taste of the craziness, check out this YouTube Video:

The Final Four game is next week, where NOT ONLY will KU get a chance to advance to the championship game, they’ll also get a chance to beat the pants off their former coach, Roy Williams. Even though we’re not known for our athletic ability here at the BCD, we’re having fun rooting for our team and watching the madness. Just like with most everything else, Lawrence is such a small and diverse community it’s not unusual for the lead singer in your favorite local band to also be a giant basketball fan - it’s just one of the many reasons we love it here in Kansas.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk, GO KU!!!

Stuffed animals are cute and cuddly, sure, but inside-out stuffed animals take things one step into the crazy zone. These cute/cuddly/bizarre little critters are the brainchildren of artist Kent Rogowski who takes normal, run-of-the-mill stuffed animals (I think the blue guy on the left started life as a Care Bear), turns them inside out, then re-stuffs and sews them for a completely twisted take on cute. These little guys might just scare the crap out of a little kid, but will work the opposite way for most adults by taking stuffed animals out of the “creepy-with-mommy-issues” zone by bumping them up to the level of “works of art”.
