Going to Wicked in Kansas City

For Valentine's Day, I got tickets for us to go to Wicked. This is the musical that we wanted to see on Broadway while we were in New York but weren't able to get tickets. Well, the Broadway show is coming to KC and tickets went on sale two days ago on Friday.

The musical is based on the book Wicked which is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz. Megan actually got me the book for Christmas but was still reading it when she gave it to me. So, it was pretty much me unwrapping my gift and giving it back to her to finish reading :)

Anyways, the tickets were going super fast as soon as they went on sale. There are about 25 shows but I was focusing on a Friday or Saturday date. The best tickets I was able to get was on Friday the 16th of May. All the other dates had tickets up in the balcony or crappy floor seats. I've highlighted our seats in red on the Kansas City Music Hall diagram below:

Superbowl Grub

Ok, I'm trying to catch up here. Two weeks ago was the superbowl and Megan and I made Black Bean Salad and Wild Mushroom Quesadillas with Warm Black Bean Salsa:

The Black Bean Salad was just ok, but the real star where the quesadillas. I highly suggest making these. I thought the idea of BBQ sauce in salsa was weird but it was really good. I even cleaned up the left over salsa with some tortilla chips.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow, I've got a lot of updating to do. Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. I'm heading down to Lawrence today for the KU Engineering Career fair to do some recruiting. In the mean time, here's a hilarious Valentine's day comic from the folks at Explosm:
