As ex-student journalists ourselves, we want to extend our congrats to , who placed 2nd overall in the Environmental Portrait category of this year’s Kansas Press Association Awards with this photo of .king last summer!

From the article:

“‘Framed by the glow of bar lights, the image captures a genuine pride in the smiling man talking about his business,’ the judge wrote.“

Although we need to remain open on a Friday night, we stand in solidarity with those participating in today’s general strike.

If you choose to consume this evening, we encourage you to support local businesses! We can’t speak for John Brown but we think it’s what he would’ve wanted. ✊

(((this is a drink menu)))

Inside this basement, we’ve long sought to create a world within a world. No matter how your day or week has gone, your being here is an ongoing invitation to engage and experience things new and exciting.

This menu is about these worlds and all of their intersections, whether or not we can visually perceive them.

The right cocktail at the right moment can feel like a portal to a new reality. Some feel intuitive, some mechanical, some ethereal. We hope to share these with you and together find joy in the unknown.

MIND -> MACHINE -> MAGICK

Thank you for being here
