What's Happening, KC?

This weekend is Valentine's Day- one of the most commercialized holidays of the year. Let's be real it's not about love, it's about something much greater- chocolate. We aren't talking about just any chocolate here, you have to get the good stuff. If you want a delicious VDay treat and to support local, make a stop at Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolates  in KCMO or Cocoa Dolce in Overland Park. 

 

 **We were going to begin this post by sharing with you all the background of Valentine's Day. However, after Wikipedia-ing (that's a legit verb) Saint Valentine's Day, we were unable to focus on learning the origin because our brains are focused on chocolate. Shocking, we know.**

 

Chocolate Ale, Boulevard Brew Co

Cocoa Dolce & Christopher Elbow offer handcrafted, modern sweets with unique flavors that are so visually pleasing you almost don't want to eat them. Almost... Christopher Elbow also teamed up with Boulevard to create KC's beloved Chocolate Ale. Both confectionaries are a little more expensive than the average assorted boxes of chocolates, but are worth the $$$ for a special occasion.

 

For those of you into bondage watching movies about bondage and semi-love stories, 50 Shades of Gray is out this weekend. We suggest trying out Cinetopia in Prairie Fire. (Cinetopia is across the street from Cocoa Dolce. We just made your Valentine's Day plans too easy.)

 For those celebrating "Single's Awareness Day" or for the couples who still know how to have a good time, celebrations for Mardi Gras by way of a pub crawl will be going on in the Power & Light District. More details here. 

 

Next Friday, February 20th- Kansas City is hosting the Midnight Underground Circus at Municipal Auditorium. There will be circus acts, carnival games, a DJ, bottomless beer (thanks Boulevard), and a special musical performance. We're not into clowns, but this sounds like a different kind of circus that we're up for and we already have our tickets! The tickets are originally $62, but with the offer code "Facebook" you get 20% off!

 

Regarding the holiday this weekend: Fellas, DO NOT forget to get your ladies the basics. Good chocolate and flowers. Cause if you forget....there is a good chance she will forget to sleep with you for the next couple weeks... You've been warned.

 Hope Cupid shoots ya in the butt,

 

- K & J
