@Lenslinger I’m still waiting for the film to come out of the processor.

Wanna confuse a photog? Ask what they covered 3 days ago.

Our brains don’t work like that.

It’s like that lady said last week, the one with the fogged up glasses. Her office smelled of pleather and her fern was dying. Not sure WHY we were there...

Sorry, what was the question?

[David Owens @Davidow86317088]

@Lenslinger Yeah…that’s great and all, but you ever used a hot splicer on deadline?

@Ford_Nick Is this an either/or question?

[John Hanna @APjdhanna]

Lawrence, Kansas, has an annual Busker Festival, with acrobats, musicians, jugglers and the like.

Topeka, Kansas, is staging a Touch-a-Truck festival downtown.

I'm not sure that I could come up with something any better that explains the differences between the two.

@RebeccaDante I encourage all to read this thread. Insightful and depressing and I have nothing to offer in assistance, but truly wish I did.

Really KWCH? That’s the best you can do?

Do you consider Kansas part of the Midwest? #kwch12

@Lenslinger When I worked at KAKE, Larry Hatteberg (truly a legend among News cameramen) heard about a fire over the police scanner, dashed off to cover it only to find he’d left his CP16 at the station. Oh what fun we had teasing him.

This is now my favorite video on the internet.

OMG…look who’s here.

Hello!

[David Owens @Davidow86317088]

@sailworldcruint Geeze…that’s one ugly boat.

[David Owens @Davidow86317088]

Hmmm…as an ex-pat Kansan and Wichita native, I’m intrigued.

OK I think I have completed this initial research for this new crime documentary project working title "it happened in Wichita".. A lot more research to do but I think I locked how I want to tell the story and the rhythm. List of names to pursue. Gotta figure out the team..
