I don't know what a freak is? So, I'm in Lawrence KS and after the hearing I went out to eat with a coworker. We walked up and down through downtown Lawrence, which like Omaha, has taken their walmart-destroyed main street and made it into an artsy shoppe and cafe center. There were dirty hippies, inked freaks, and colored hair all over (I forget it's a college town too). We went to a beer pub for beers and foods, which had surprisingly good food. The other surprising thing there was a fix of indie/emo kids, very inked freaky looking peeps, colored hair, and normal looking families. I don't know where, in my DC area, you could go to a place with a mix like that.

Anyone notice that tattoo parlors are offering laser tattoo removal? Isn't that like a krispy kreme donut and weight loss center?

Edit: no problem fitting in now, I just put on my tattoo-esque t-shirt, strap on one of these and I'm good to go.

You know Lawrence was where Bill Burroughs lived, right?

Nope, no idea William Tell lived here.

So, where'd you eat? I'll be in Lawrence for a conference in 5 weeks and I doubt the Holiday Inn is "all that". By the same token--let me know what/where this area is; it definitely sounds more interesting than some of the conference panels are likely to be.

Click the link I put in above for freestatebrewery? If it's not working I can edit, lemme know. It's right there on main st, and when we went in there were a bunch of inked peeps drinking at the front.

I used to live in KC for a while, so I've been to Lawrence many times. Is the Free State Brewery still there? And that's the original location of Maggie Moo's.

I didn't know you were in the KC area - I have restaurant recommendations! Thai place off of 64th by Antioch. KC's got some neat areas. Everyone goes down to "the Plaaazzzaaa" or "Westport" but I liked the neighborhood between State line and SW trafficway on 39th street better, who knows if it's still how it was 8 years ago. Depends on what you like - driving down State line watching the progression of houses obviously built by decade (you can totally see the difference between the houses built in the 30's to the 70's), Ward Parkway has some fantastic places, and the Nelson-Atkins museum of art...

Sorry - yes, that's the place, and I just edited the fawked up link. Well I'll be back - they had an arcade! I didn't get to go so when I return...

The houses were absolutely "Mayberry."

I noticed that in Jinx Proof's ad the other day.

Maybe they're targeting people who want to get rid of crapy tats they had done as kids and get some nice new ink instead.

It IS weird to see those types eating together...I have seen it before, though...PJ SkiDenny's. Or almost any Denny's, for that matter. But it is always a Denny's, I don't think I have seen it much at Shoney's or Perkin's. Maybe it was just a Fairfax thing.

If you ever get to St Louis, we found they have some pretty good food. An Irish place called Tigin was damned good.
