|I scored some tickets to the annual Jazzoo gala in Kansas City, so Friday night Becky and I had a date. Jazzoo is a “creative black tie” affair to raise money for the Kansas City Zoo, and it’s held at the zoo. Now in its 15th year, it has become quite a social event. The cheapest tickets are $150. Fortunately, my good clients at La Parrilla gave me the tickets. La Parrilla and its sibling restaurant, Zen Zero, had booths at Jazzoo, along with about 80 other top KC area restaurants. It made for a lot of good eating while walking around to listen to live music in four venues. The “big name” was Martha and the Vandellas, wahoo. One of the acts was a Beatles impersonation which, amazingly, wasn’t too bad. The weather was perfect and an almost full moon accompanied our midnight drive back to Lawrence.|
