A Dream Weekend in Kearney, Nebraska

"I want you to come to Kearney, Nebraska  on December 1st for the Varsity KHS Invite."

I don't know what that is, but I might take him up on the offer if:
1. He shaves off that stupid moustache.
2. The offer includes a personally escorted dream weekend.

Kearney is a small town of 30,000 in the Nebraska wilderness, about halfway between Omaha and North Platte.  It will take me about five hours to get there, so I'll drive in on Friday, November 30th, and be there for dinner:








Suwannee Thai Cuisine, followed by a show at the Merryman Performing Arts Center.  Magician Jay Owenhouse is performing.

There are no gay bars in Kearney, so he'll have to provide some other post-theater entertainment.















Apparently the best breakfast in Kearney is at a place called The Egg and I, so we'll go there on Saturday morning.

The Varsity Invite is at 10:00 am.












Afterwards I want to go sightseeing: Great Platte River Road Monument,  the Museum of Nebraska Art, and the gym, of course.











In the evening, the Kearney High School is doing The Importance of Being Earnest.  Or maybe the swim team is having a meet.












Sunday morning: Prince of Peace Catholic Church, which has an interesting sanctuary.
















Then lunch.  I'll want to meet the three students who were suspended for painting an American flag on their chests.  Local celebrities, freedom of speech and all that.

A final swing through town, and then I'll hit the road back home.

With the right companions, you can have a dream weekend anywhere, even in Kearney, Nebraska.
