Are you a victim of boredom?

I don't know about you, but I constantly hear that there is nothing to do in Wichita. But that can't be further from the truth. There is tons of stuff to do here, you just need to know where to look. There's Tuesday night comedy reviews, dance lessons, concerts, poetry readings, festivals, First Fridays, Final Fridays, demos, artists talks, book signings, and occasional ball, and tons more! One way to start is picking up the GO! Wichita section in Friday's Eagle newspaper. The GO! has many wonderful listings, maps, reviews, etc. It features schedules, locations, times, and cover charges on Final Fridays and First Fridays. Next is checking out ROKICT.com for weekly events. When I say that there is always something going on, this is the place to check out. Of course, you can always check out Facebook. ROKICT.com is on there (Jared ICT Brinkman), Rock Island Live, Vagabond, First Friday (Adam Hartke Records), James Gates(Local Comedian), Final Friday listings, and so much more!

So what's going this weekend?
