the thought of living in Kansas sent chills down my spine, I don't think you would want to live there if you went there [/b]
I think he'd love it!  Definitely as nice, if not nicer, than Virginia.  It should be given serious consideration.

The guy on the Fulks board from Lawrence, KS (where the festival is taking place) makes it sound ok (I myself actually wouldn't want to move there...too far from the mountains and ocean):
 
 lawrence...
 
 first of and foremost, it's the home of the kansas jayhawks. seeing a basketball game in allen fieldhouse is a must.
 
 it's got a terrific music scene that surely tops any other midwest college town. it's got the bottleneck, the replay lounge, the granada, and for the bigger shows, liberty hall. all downtown.
 
 the downtown's nice. local shops and restaurants line mass street. rudy's pizza, free state brewery and la familia are good eats.
 
 drawbacks ... it's a college town. maybe i'm getting old, i've been here 7 years now, but the crowds at shows tend to run high on the "hipster" scale i guess. it keeps me from some shows, but not all.
 
 it's a nice place though, worth a visit.

the main reason I want nothing to do with Kansas!
 
 actually since Lawrence is a college town it probably would be my choice if I had to live in Kansas, but I have heard nothing good about it

You're famous for non-sequiturs.  Kansas, would it hurt to try out living in Kansas.

mizzou played like crap last night.  if they have to struggle to beat winless a&m, i shudder to think about what kansas will do to mizzou.  mizzou needs to beat kansas to make it to the tournament.  espn projects that there are 3-4 at large openings left, and 8-9 teams possible, including mizzou.

have you watched this year, thats what they do, play like crap, although the games are normally close, they played kansas close for most of the game last week, kansas really is not that great this year, they are pretty inconsistent

the fiancee can't stand to watch mizzou games because a) they don't put quin on tv enough, and b) they are terribly inconsistent. . .one week they beat osu and the next they lose to division 2 belmont.  i mean, mizzou was a pre-season top 10, and they are struggling to make it to the tournament.  course, the same thing happened a few years ago when they we're the last team picked, got a 12 seed and made it to the elite 8.

Basketball fans eh?
 
 Try to catch a little of the Pitt game tonight (@ 7). They are a fun team to watch. 5 highly likeable guys who play the game the way it's supposed to be played. No superstars, just a good solid team that plays defense like the Steeler Steel Curtain.
 
 Now that I PR'd for them, they'll probably lay an egg.
