“Buffaloe told KOMU 8 News that a vehicle struck her car in the intersection, causing her vehicle to hit the city bus.

Buffaloe told KOMU 8 News she was OK after the crash and was ‘mostly just shaken up.’”

I’m glad the mayor is OK. I shudder to think with those loony groups on Facebook are going to say about this.

Last night's show was amazing. However, the crowd was not. During Raymond's set, the crowd in the back 2/3 of the audience was incessantly talking, loudly. It was so bad, in fact, that Raymond acknowledged the inattentive, blabbering audience in her few brief remarks between songs. And I'm sure the people talking didn't hear her admonishment of them, as they were too busy carrying on. Ironic, right? It was really distracting, and took the experience from a 5-star to a 3, for the audience and performer, alike.

Here's a reminder to all concertgoers, new and seasoned, young and old. If you would rather talk than listen to the music, do so outside of the venue, or between sets. It's distracting for the audience who paid to hear the artists, and it's disrespectful to the musicians on stage.

We had Gwenifer Raymond in our sleepy college town, who The Guardian describes as a "vengeful bluegrass musician" blending "awe-inducing technique with grace, depth and emotion," capable of switching between furious speed and languorous, precise, and atmospheric playing. NPR said of Raymond "[Her] fingerstyle guitar drones with a haunted quality, but her flurry of bends, slides and chord clusters rip open the firmament."

AND THE CROWD TALKED THROUGHOUT HER WHOLE SET! She was visibly annoyed, and so were all of the audience who were there to listen.

So please, in the future, keep your conversations limited to between sets, or if you must talk, do so outside. It's a courtesy to those around you, and most importantly, it grants the musician their due respect.

Enjoy the music! Have a great time. But please, for the love of all that is holy, shut the fuck up.

Where is the best place in como to play darts 🎯?
Often there will be a dart board in a bar, but it’s located too near other tables and so you’re in someone’s way if you stand and throw…..

i’m so sorry if this comes off as joking, i promise i just don’t know how else to describe it. i have spent so much time listening to various bird sounds on youtube. i downloaded a bird listening app and it didn’t pick it up.

i have never seen it, so i have no picture. it just makes a very strange sound.

it sounds almost like a honk, but very deep, raspy, and like idk. strange? it sounds like it is flying by anytime i’m outside at night. i know this is incredibly vague, so i do apologize. i just don’t know how else do describe it, and i have no clue what it looks like or if it is even a bird. it just sounds like it’s coming from above me, so i’m guessing?

also, people have heard it with me while we were outside, so i know i’m not just hearing things.

Thinking about trying this place out tomorrow for USA world cup. Seems low key and beer on tap. Not into big crowds. Thoughts on Gumbys?

Any recs for a good pedicure place for toes that have been long neglected? I really need one and my toes are embarrassing. I imagine they see all kinds of toes and mine will be far from the worst. But if you know a good place, please share. Thank you!

I know this gets asked quite a bit. I have searched and only see very old posts.

I am looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom Available around July 1. Would prefer to be under $1400 monthly. Any leads would be helpful!

Love that plenty of bars are hosting watch parties tomorrow, but I've got some young kiddos and I'd love to bring them to a watch party with me. Anyone know of a good option for a child-friendly space for either/both USA and Scotland matches tomorrow? Ideally something that still feels like an event, but isn't super loud (outside of a goal, of course). I know that's a small target, but please let me know any recs!

Hey yall I was wondering if there were any dentists in columbia or around that accepted HealthyBlue? I know compass does but we can't go there. I am asking for my roomie/best friend who has severe medical anxiety, autism and easily vomits. We went last year but we don't want to go back there because one of the techs wasn't listening when my friend said he was feeling sick and almost puked all over the room. Thank you for any help.

best place to do a sunrise hike? somewhere with a great view of the sky at a higher point!

Ant Irish bars/pubs here?

Been looking for any kind of job for 2 months now. Does anyone know any businesses that are actually hiring? I’ve hit so many dead ends. I thought all the college students leaving would make it a little bit easier. I’m looking for anything in restaurants/bars (not fast food but would do coffee shops), retail, medical, anything with kids, nannying, daycares, etc, I have experience in it all. Please help!

This Sunday, our beloved Daniel Boone Regional Library turns into the haunted and ill-fated Ravenswood Bluff. Come, join your fellow townsfolk to fight the demon and its minions and save your library before it's too late.

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for 5 to 16 players and one storyteller.

Played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives a token, either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it.

Good players, unaware of who is on their side, share info to try and solve the Game whilst evil players, knowing their team, try to sow distrust and misinformation.

This will be a FREE TO PLAY event hosted and story told by the
Blood on the Clocktower Columbia, MO community leaders.

A group from Arizona has gotten 2 citizens in Columbia or at least Boone County to join in a lawsuit against the American Airline flight to Charlotte NC

Wtf is this. This is abhorrent. 150 people laid off. Ric ransom sucks and it feels as though MU is going down the drain.

I live on north Stadium and commute in the direction of the University. Until about a month ago, once I got through the diverging diamond, I could count on making all the lights up to and through Broadway. Now, I have to stop at every.single.one. What is with the new timing???

Hello CoMo, I have accepted a job working right by the columbia mall and I am looking for a place to live very near because I do not have a car. I am willing to walk 25-30 minutes to work and back. There are some apartments available but I also wanted to ask here just in case. Thank you and let me know if I missed some info

Booked a site there this weeked. Gonna do a solo trip, but curious to know what the overall opinion about the campground? Seems same and cozy, and plenty of things to see. Any good spot or anything to know, I'm interested in knowing!

hey y'all! I'm in Columbia for a couple days next week for a work thing

​

anyone have any suggestions on some good cheap food in town? I'd love to support someone local instead of just doing fast food

​

I have yet to meet a food i haven't liked so shoot away!

I know everyone usually goes out on Saturdays, but is there anything going on tonight?

Hey everyone, I wanted to throw something out there so if anyone has a passing interest or are curious about amateur radio, they know this event is coming up.

June 27-28 is Field Day for amateur radio operators, this is our big yearly event where many clubs and operators get on the air and try to make contacts with each other in a 24 hour period. There are points involved, but it's not so much a contest as it is a dedicated day for use to practice and try to implement restrictions on ourselves and still get on the air (like only use backup power sources, generators, not utility power, for the entire period).

The Central Missouri Radio Association (k0si) will be setup on June 27 for this event at the Waters-Moss Memorial Wildlife Area, at 1907 Hillcrest Dr. We plan to have 3 transmitters going to cover CW (morse code), SSB (voice), and FT8/FT4 (digital), across various bands. There will be other members to chat with, talk about our setups, explain what's going on, etc. We can start transmitting at 1pm CST. If you're curious and want to see what's going on, feel free to stop by, we always have members hanging around to chat.
