Hump Day Dinner & More @ Andretti in OP
2026-09-23 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, 11610 Nall Avenue, Overland Park, KS, 66211, United States
OMG. How can one possibly describe Andretti in Overland Park? It’s, it’s, well, it’s an enormous compendium (under one roof!) of FUN! So many choices! We’re talkin’ laser tag, go kart racing, duck pin bowling all types of arcade games, VR simulations, you name it! Plus, the food! It’s a huge menu of delightful offerings (many from scratch) and libations galore. So, here’s the plan. Let’s convene in the entrance at 4:45 PM. We can grab dinner and drinks first. Post dining there’s no set agenda tonight. Gather a buddy or two or three and head out and explore your options. Do a little or do a lot – it’s your call!
The cost varies based on what you’d like to do. I’ve included the link so you can either purchase tickets in advance or when you arrive. Given the crowd this place draws purchasing in advance might be your best option. You can always buy more once you see what’s available.

Prepare to have FUN! and join us! Oh, and guys? Let’s stay healthy so please consider your vaccine status. Thanks!

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2026-09-25 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-10-02 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-10-09 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-10-16 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-10-23 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-10-30 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-11-06 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-11-13 12:00 - 13:30 | Pegah’s on Johnson Drive, 11005 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, KS, 66203, United States
Ah, the appeal of Pegah’s in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I’m lookin’ at you, Denny’s!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, “Hey old men – are you ready to order?!” You cannot put a price on that.
Clearly we really like this eatery as evidenced by the fact we all tend to hang around way past 1:30. We have a large crowd of PTKC’ers every Friday so it’s worth the jaunt. Parking can be a little tight but you’ll find a space – not to worry. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by staying current with your vaccines. Thanks, guys.

PTKC Mixer - At Missie B's & Dinner
2026-09-25 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-10-02 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-10-09 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-10-16 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-10-23 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-10-30 17:00 - 18:30, 2026-11-06 17:00 - 18:30 | Missie B’s, 805 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
30 years ago, Missie B’s opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it’s become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It’s not just a place to grab a drink, it’s an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT’ers to celebrate the end of the week and the start of the weekend. Maybe grab a few pals and head out for dinner at some point. We keep it loose and easy (hey, no jokes!) and we’ll see ‘ya there!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, stay healthy, please! Vinny our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

Movie Night @ Sam and Jim’s!
2026-09-26 19:00 - 22:00 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
Ah, the PTKC Movie Night. It’s a classic, much loved event hosted by our equally beloved board members, Jim and Sam. Our gracious hosts provide a few nibbles, popcorn, water and ice tea but if you’re so inclined, indulge us with something delicious that you’d like to bring. After all, we’re the guys who love to eat.
As you know we show two movies in their spacious abode; one upstairs and the second is featured downstairs. Choices are a good thing! So, stayed tuned for updates. I’ll post what movies are on tap as soon as someone tells me what they are.
Now you know the drill. Keep an eye out for the Punch Bowl invite ’cause we get a great crowd here. Stay healthy, fellas, get those vaccines goin’ and be sure to join us!

Happy Hour Dinner @ Cafe Trio on The Plaza
2026-09-28 17:00 - 19:00 | Cafe Trio, 4558 Main St, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
Now I really like Cafe Trio’s menu. This highly regarded KC restaurant offers small plates, soups and salads and entrees all falling into the innovative and beautifully prepared category. Dammit. Now I’m hungry. Anyway, make it a great night with us and be there! Oh, and let’s not ignore our good friend Vinny the PTKC Vaccine Fairy!

Coffee Talk at Denny's
2026-09-30 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-10-07 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-10-14 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-10-21 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-10-28 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-11-04 10:00 - 11:30, 2026-11-11 10:00 - 11:30 | Denny’s on Metcalf Avenue, 10480 Metcalf Avenue, Overland Park, 66212, United States
Okay. So, by now you might know that Denny’s is closing many restaurants nationwide. But how do WE respond to this outrage? “HELL NO, WE WON’T GO! HELL NO, WE WON’T GO!” So, be sure to join us at 105th and Metcalf with your fellow PTKC rebels! The food is fine, prices are reasonable, the coffee is hot and there’s a bunch of guys talkin’ away like crazy! Plus I finally subscribed to AARP so I get a discount! Nothing is sacred here so come and enjoy yourselves.
Oh, last thing. Cold and flu season is upon us. Guys, please make sure you’re current with vaccines. Don’t make me sic Vinny, our PTKC Vaccine Fairy, on ‘ya!
See you there!

Hump Day Dinner @ Hemma Hemma in Kansas City
2026-09-30 19:00 - 21:00 | Hemma Hemma, 7122 Wornall Road, Kansas City, MO, 64114, United States
Now we first sampled this restaurant a few months ago and PTKC HNDs (Hump Night Diners) thought it was wonderful. Locally & woman-owned, Hemma Hemma is founded by chef Ashley Bareis. It’s a highly regarded Kansas City restaurant featuring globally inspired, scratch cooking with options for every dietary need. A friend of mine recently dined at Hemma Hemma. When I asked about her experience I got a big smile, then a sigh and finally these words; “pure, joyful comfort food.”
What more do we need to know? Keep an eye out for the Punchbowl invite, get a jab or two of those important vaccines and join us!
