As the weather continues to steadily get warmer, Kansas Citians will peek their heads out of the darkness into the light again. Of course everyone will start out with the tried and true, proven spots and events to expose their paleness to the public. Well, nowhere else are you more accepted than First Fridays, so take that dress or suit you've been eyeing for the last few months off the hanger and see if you can still fit in it.
So after you've gone shopping for new clothes that you comfortably fit into with your extra winter fluffiness, check out what is going on down at the Crossroads this weekend and plan for a great night out this month's First Friday. It's supposed to be in the upper 40's at least.
