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!

Dinner @ Kona Grill on The Plaza
2025-10-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Kona Grill, 444 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, MO, 64112, United States
Now I like this place. Who can quibble with innovative American cuisine prepared in a scratch kitchen with an equally fine bar? Take it one step further and pair good eats with your favorite PTKC pals, and, well, it’ll be one helluva great night!
So, don’t just sit at home! A fine time awaits…..join us! (Oh, and bring a doggy bag home for Vinny!)

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2025-10-03 12:00 - 13:30, 2025-10-10 12:00 - 13:30, 2025-10-17 12:00 - 13:30, 2025-10-24 12:00 - 13:30, 2025-10-31 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.

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 Vinnie, our Vaccine Fairy, on ‘ya!

No Contract Bridge Night Tonight
2025-10-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
Gentlemen, Jim Wright is in Omaha tonight attending the PTWW Convention. But, fear not, contract bridge players! He’ll be back for next week’s game. For tonight, I’ll leave you with my witty rejoinder about the game itself.

“Bridge: the only sport where trash talk involves saying ‘Interesting bid…’”

You know? I figure we gotta do at least one BBQ joint every month. Hell, I’d do more but I’m a burnt ends fiend! So, tonight we’re off to Independence to Smokehouse Barbecue. How about Smokehouse Nachos as a starter? Maybe follow that with Prime Rib Short Ribs? Or go absolutely crazy with the Chef’s Special; a colossal compendium of Pork Spare Ribs, Baby Back Ribs, Bone-in Chicken & (Pork or Beef) Burnt Ends. YOWSER! Just feed me and cart me out of there!! I am IN!

Guys in north Kansas City, we haven’t forgotten about ‘ya! Plus, there’s a lot to love about Trezo Mare located in The Village at Briarcliff. Employee owned and operated, this restaurant offers fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a great dining experience. Maybe, just maybe it’ll still be warm enough to dine alfresco on their spacious patio. Cross your collective fingers.
Join us for a wonderful dinner with your PTKC pals!
And, remember, fellas. Cold and Flu season is upon us. Please stay current with vaccines! In other words, don’t piss off Vinny!

A not-to-be-missed meeting, guys. Last year nearly 90 people attended and we had a wonderful time together. Actually, your faithful Board is a little worried how we’ll possibly surpass the success of that gathering but we’re up for the challenge. Stay tuned for more information but in the meantime, we can certainly use some volunteers to help out. We need people to set up, run food trays, greet members as they arrive and assist with clean up. Truthfully, it’s really a lot of fun. Really! So give it some thought and just let any board member know that you’re up for it. Thank you!
