Mary’s is home to a small man named CJ with a voice as big as a whale. He is the host of Mary’s karaoke nights, also known as Mary-oke, and if you dare, you can be an American Idol too. So if you’re looking for something to do, and if you like to sing, then stop by Mary’s on a Tuesday or Saturday night.

Forget all of those “fancy” New Year’s parties that come with a lot of hype and a big cover charge; this is where you want to be this December 31, 2010. The cover for New Wave New Year’s Eve is $10 in present-day wear, or $7 in 80s threads. So break out those acid wash jeans, bangle bracelets, and skinny ties, and save a few bucks in “style”.

If you can’t imagine that, you might very well have yourself a gold digger.

“I like to do things that you can’t see at other shows. Last week we had the Kansas City Juggler’s Club and they brought several guys and did all these crazy tricks and shenanigans. There was a guy laying on the floor juggling knives by his face. Love it. You can’t go anywhere else and see that,” said Farrand.

And maybe it’s more of the lack of music halls in the state that is creating all the hoo-rah about Buster’s. Jon Bodine, the talent buyer for Buster’s and college friend of the Cases, said the venue was opening up in an underserved market, and it made sense they were getting so much attention.

After losing to Rosenberg, despite the odds favoring his hand 7-1, Gold invites us to some fine-dining, where I get a lesson in wine from the poker star and a promise that he’ll take my friends and I on my first trip to Vegas. It must have been a long night for Gold, because when Dante Stallworth sends over a round of tequila shots from a few tables down, I look over to see Gold asleep at the table.
