December 28 Weekend Preview

Well, we are in the home stretch of the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are over and all that is left is New Year’s Eve. There are several events going on in the Kansas City area (too many for me to name here). I suggest you checkout my friends at Explore Kansas City for a complete list of the festivities.
I do want to point out that the legendary Kansas City area band The Rainmakers will be performing at Knuckleheads on Monday. These guys put on a great show and tickets are still available.
As far as movies go there were two movies released on Christmas day. There is the much anticipated “Django Unchained” from Quentin Tarantino. This western revenge flick stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz. There is also "Les Misérables". This motion-picture is an adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe. It stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway.
The Comets are in Chicago on Friday to battle the Soul at the Sears Centre Arena. Chicago is coming off a major victory last Friday. Not only did they snap their four-game losing streak but handed the previously undefeated Baltimore Blast their first loss of the season. This game can be viewed at MISLNaton.
On Saturday the Comets return home to host the Syracuse Silver Knights. It's also Comets Media Night, where some of your favorite members of the Kansas City media will be playing (attempting to play) a mini-soccer match at halftime!
The Mavericks are out of town this weekend with a games at Wichita on Friday and Tulsa on Saturday. They will be back home at the Independence Events Center on New Year’s Eve to take on the Tulsa Oilers. You can purchase the 2013 Mavericks Men Calendar at the IEC Mavs Fan Club Table. So stop by and donate to a good cause. There will also be a postgame Skate With The Team presented by Villa Italian Fresh Kitchen.
The Missouri Rhythm are not in action this weekend but will be back on the court next week for a two game homestand.
The Topeka RoadRunners host a two game set against the Springfield Jr. Blues    this weekend. Friday is Ticket Exchange Night when season ticket holders can exchange unused tickets for tickets to this game. Saturday is Scout Night when the RoadRunners honor the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of Topeka.     
Have a Safe and Happy New Year
