Konza burning

Thursday we went to Lawrence in the afternoon, Jack was headed for a talk at KU and later dinner with Peter at Local Burger. Mmmm. As we headed south on 177 approaching I-70, we were amazed to see the extent of the burn happening on Konza Prairie, right up the edge of the road. I snapped a lot of pictures from the car window, roaring by at 70 mph. Amazing that they turned out as well as they did.

Next day, Friday, we headed off to Kansas City to hear Peter's band play at the Midwestern Music Company, as part of a First Friday in the Crossroad's District. We got there early, around 6 pm, and scurried off to dinner with the cousins at Cafe Vietnam before returning to the Crossroads to hear two great bands from Lawrence, Kasey Rausch and later the Sunflower Colonels. Check out the pics of Peter's band...recognize Peter? He's playing the banjo...
