Many times the way to get the best view of something is to position yourself so that you have a view from the top. Well this past Friday I did just that. I went to The Skies restaurant in Kansas City with three friends of mine. (http://www.skieskc.com/) The restaurant sits atop the Hyatt in the Crown Center district of KC and it offers an amazing view of downtown (Power & Light District), the Crown Center, Martini Corner, and the Plaza. You can even see Arrowhead Stadium and Kaufman Stadium. The restaurant also slowly revolves throughout the night, it takes about 90 minutes for one complete revolution. The ambience is second to none and there is a man playing the piano the whole time as well which makes it pretty relaxing. So guys, if you are planning a date soon then I definitely recommend The Skies! 
After dinner at The Skies we went to Luna which is a club that was built to be reminiscent of clubs you would find in New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami. (http://www.lunakc.com/) We didn't do any crazy dancing like some of the others there but we did get a table and had a blast sharing old stories of the stupid things we have done...some of these were college stories and some were from, well, a few weeks ago (I had no shortage of things to share!).
Saturday I played in a basketball tournament and I have to apologize. Turns out the camera man was at lunch during the game that I had all of my sweet dunks, so no footage is available for you. I know, it upset me too.
Anyway, Saturday night I joined a group of friends for a birthday party in Lawrence at a place called The Cave. (http://www.oreadcave.com/) It was an eventful evening that consisted of a lot of people-watching. I've always been a believer that airports are the best place to people-watch because you ALWAYS see crazy people at the airport, but The Cave is right up there. Although the obvious reason many people are so entertaining there is because they have had one too many! It is definitely a nice place though and is worth checking out. It is located below The Oread which is a hotel right by the Kansas University campus. They turned a three level parking garage into a night club. The top level is a wine bar, the middle level is a shot/martini bar and the bottom level is the main club with a dance floor and VIP bar. The entire building is made of limestone and it has granite countertops all over which gives the place a unique look.
I am now about to leave tomorrow for New Orleans. Advisors Excel hosts an event each year in January called the World Series of Sales. (http://www.theworldseriesofsales.com/) We have all of the top financial advisors that we work with get together for an awards ceremony and also to hear some well-known speakers. One of them is the New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and another is Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw. I'm excited to meet both of them and I will definitely be filling everyone in on the event when I return!
P.S. Congratulations to my best friend Travis VanVleck! Travis and his wife Beth had a baby boy this morning, welcome to the world Creighton!!
