I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

We Came. We Saw…the line. Kauffman Center Grand Opening.

I salute the courageous folk who took on a queue of epic proportions at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts today. 

We rolled into the Crossroads around 4:30pm, thinking that the crowds would be thinning out as it was only 30 minutes until closing. 

As we rounded the corner, my husband and I stared slack-jawed at a line snaking halfway around the enormous building.

Food trucks and several excellent musical acts lent a festive atmosphere to the mob scene and people seemed to be enduring their lengthy wait times graciously. 

 

However, we decided to pass on the wait-your-turn party and took our kids down to 18 Broadway for a walk in the garden instead.

It was a lovely evening; and there among the flora and fauna, we didn’t even mind missing the Kauffman’s inner brilliance.  I have the pictures to prove it.
