Never forget.

Fake mustache night at Hammons Field. These bad boys got us free Springfield Cardinals tickets. Excited to see Hancel Rincon pitch!

Be very excited if you have tickets for High Tide Theatrical’s “Into the Woods.” The Lightroom Lounge has been transformed and magic is being made.

Watching #LeaguesCup matches midweek even though Sporting KC isn’t playing in the tournament is real sicko behavior.

There’s action on the turf at Plaster Stadium this morning. We’re two days away from August and football is back in August. Hang in there, babies!

I am always blown away by the transformations High Tide Theatrical pulls in the Lightroom Lounge as it turns over from one production to another, and this one is particularly jaw-dropping. Getting ready for a story on “Into The Woods” for the @sgfcitizen.bsky.social.

I really appreciate Karen Sabo taking time to share her insight into the board’s decision to close Springfield Contemporary Theatre. I’ll echo her call for us all to recognize our responsibility in having a diverse arts landscape.

Love a good chat with Meg Wagler. Overlay is coming back and it’s sprucing up a building that definitely needs it. Keep your eyes peeled for announcements in August.

This wall in downtown Springfield has been BEGGING for a mural. I’ll have exciting news on that front later this week in the @sgfcitizen.bsky.social.

Hell yeah!

More public art in the SGF!

I love when people want to be something, so they just go ahead and be it. That's what Carlea Badolian is doing with Carl's Bad Designs. She's making her own path in the fashion industry right here in Springfield.

I met a fashion designer today! I had a great chat with Carlea Badolian and can’t wait to tell you the story of Carl’s Bad Designs in the @sgfcitizen.bsky.social…and how you can take classes from her soon.

I caught a case of Kulkamania myself at the Lunkers game last week.

Here's a reminder that depression can come from exactly nowhere for precisely no reason.

This was a fun story to tell, and I appreciate playwright Asa Leininger reaching out and connecting. I'm excited for the Devising Original Theatre Springfield Fringe Fest this weekend and all the Ozarks talent that will be on display.

Rivals Roddick, Blake spar once more Longtime friends play each other again at Springfield Lasers game

I wrote this story 14 years ago during a very interesting time in my life. I can’t believe how quickly the time has past. I’m still pretty proud of it and it makes me miss the Springfield Lasers.

I shared this a year ago. Still relevant. Hooray for the never-finished act of knowing.

Another Vehicle vs. Building crash in Nixa. First Piccolo, now a house. What's next?

Didn’t seem reasonable to think about the playoffs not that long ago. Now look at the fellas. #SportingKC

It's like they say, "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."

My TikTok algorithm showed me a DCI video for the first time today. @joehadsall.bsky.social is gonna be so proud of me.

“You walked all the way in here to show me that?”

My wife, after looking at the latest dumb joke I’ve written for SGF A.M.

YouTube video by Sutherland Weston Marketing Communications Bloopers: Baked In A Buttery Flaky Crust | "Buttery Flaky Outtakes" | Dysart's | Bangor, ME

I keep getting served a Culver's commercial that mentions a "buttery brioche bun." My brain immediately thinks, "Baked in a buttery flaky crust."

It was soul-refreshing to meet and chat with Sam Timmerman to learn more about The Melody Room. He's turned rejection into a platform for the overlooked...and curated some immaculate vibes. If you're looking for some fun tonight, check out their R&B Fridays at The Riff.

1. Manu looking like he just returned from battle.

#SportingKC

The last ten #SportingKC goals have come from new additions in 2025.

Additionally, Dejan Joveljic now has a goal or assist in each of the past six games.

“I’m not surprised they came back at the end because this is a special group that doesn’t give up.” — Kerry Zavagnin #SportingKC

I will never forget Eddie Johnson.
