Question: Has anyone used KC Masterpiece or Yia Yia’s in Overland Park, KS for your rehearsal dinner?

I had a previous response recommending both of these places. But, I need to know if anyone actually used KC Masterpiece. They said they had a banquet room that would hold our party of 20 – 25. They said since we were a small group, the buffet would be in our room. I’ve never had their BBQ before…..always ate at Jack Stack. Jack Stack BBQ is booked on the date we need. KC said they had either white tableclothes and black utensils or vice versa. Do they mean plastic tableclothes and utensils? Do we need to decorate ourselves? Anyone using Yia Yia’s please let me know about how much it costs to rent the room and a general idea of the price of their food. Also, do they have linens and decorations? Is is elegant or what? Please help……I am in the state of Arkansas trying to plan this rehearsal dinner in Overland Park/Olathe Kansas.
Thanks CBT Princess. Your info is very helpful and I love the website you posted for me!

Answer: HI - I have been to all 3 of these places. Too bad Jack Stack is booked, they are great! I think K.C. Masterpiece will do a good job, and their food is decent. I'm sorry, it's been a while & I can't remember what the tablecloths and utensils were, but I thought they were real & not plastic - but best to verify, as the last time I went was some time ago.
Yia Yia's has some very creative cuisine - it can be pricy and pretty expensive - but maybe they will work out a menu for you? It's a very nice place & in a very upscale part of town.
American Bandstand also has a private room - I know people that have used it - it's pretty affordable.
the Hereford House in Leawood is also nice

Answer: Sorry its long!

A cleaning service. Maybe you hate doing your chores at home, but getting paid for doing them is completely different! You could offer complete housecleaning services, or specialize in one or more areas, such as attic/basement/garage cleanups.

A yard maintenance service. There is always something that needs to be done…mowing lawns and weed control in the spring and summer, raking leaves in the fall, and shoveling snow and planting for the spring in the winter.

A car-detailing business. With so many people working multiple jobs and having such busy lifestyles, very few people have the time to really take care of their cars -- and you could offer a weekly or monthly service of washing, waxing, vacuuming, etc.

A pet sitting service. Typically more of a summer business when people tend to go on vacation, but you might be able to have a year-round business by offering pet walking, bathing, cleaning, etc. services.

A PC tutor/Web site development service. Are you a whiz with computers and the Web? Well, many adults are not, and you could make a good business helping people learn to use PCs and develop Web sites for their families -- or for their businesses.

A catering service. Do you enjoy cooking and baking? In these busy times, if you can provide a service that offers well-cooked meals, you could do quite well.

A painting service. If you have some experience -- or there is a few of your friends that want to go in business with you -- you might consider a painting business. People are always renovating…and you could paint exteriors in the nicer months and interiors during the colder months.

An errand, messenger, or delivery service. This idea works best in larger cities where there are more people and public transportation, but these are busy times and people need help with all sorts of errands.

An educational tutoring service. If you have expertise in one or more areas -- music, foreign language, math and science, or others -- you could offer tutoring sessions to children, teens, and adults in your neighborhood.

An online Web business. If you are a master at creating Web pages, perhaps what you need to do is brainstorm a concept for an online business -- where your potential customers can come from anywhere in the world, not just in your local neighborhood.

A freelancing service. If you are truly gifted in a certain field, such as writing, drawing, or photography, consider starting a freelancing business where you sell your wares to various businesses and media outlets.

Also try selling stuff on ebay! I know someone who sold a 99p book and got £100 for it!!! Bargain eh?

With a barely existent gay scene, is gay travel to Mongolia a good idea? Despite little knowledge and a practically invisible LGBT community, Mongolia offers incredible views, outdoor activities and vibrant culture that may appeal to all travelers, gay or straight. Homosexuality is legal and the unique experience of Mongolia makes it a great destination for gay couples and groups.

Once led by Genghis Khan, Mongolia is situated between powerhouses Russia and China with Ulaanbaatar serving as a unique capital city. Known as a nation of nomadic people, the country is the least densely populated place and open to visitors looking to explore the lakes, mountains, Gobi desert and bands of wild horses.

Despite having little in the way of gay establishments, the unique history and culture of Mongolia make it a worthwhile destination for gay travelers.

With an international airport and train station welcoming overland travel from China, the capital city of Ulaanbaatar serves as the best starting point for your Mongolia adventures. With low priced guesthouses doubling as travel coordinators, it is the best place to settle in and plan for your visit to the country.

Guesthouses are the best place to stay as they offer cheap accommodation (roughly twenty U. S. Dollars per night) and also act as travel agencies that can help you to draw up an itinerary.

From there, the options are plentiful. For shorter stays, consider a local home stay near Terelj National Park, just two hours from the capital and an easy ride to the Gobi Desert. You might also want to think about a trip to Genghis Khan’s ancient capital or adding a week to head north for spectacular lake, mountain and river excursions.

Longer stays are better for incorporating all parts of the country, including the north where majestic mountains and pristine lakes are abundant.

Aside from outdoor and wildlife excursions, city life is also worth exploring. Ulaanbaatar is home to good and inexpensive restaurants like Mongol Shabu, where you can eat well for under five dollars. You can also check out the world renowned Mongolian National Symphony Orchestra at The Culture Show or visit the Natural History Museum.

While Mongolia may be an incredible, off the beaten path destination for gay couples and groups, homosexuality is not necessarily received well. There are few religious barriers to it; however, a general lack of gay context leaves a general sense of naivet on the subject.

There are other options available besides traveling on your own. Various tour groups, specializing in gay travel groups, offer vacations in Mongolia.

These agencies typically excursions that cater to the interests of culture lovers and active outdoors travelers by visiting places such as local traditional festivals, the ancient capital city and museums, as well as the desert, camel farms and horseback riding destinations.

One of the appeals specific to these types of tour groups includes parties and visits to local LGBT community groups as a way to see firsthand the gay scene in Mongolia. Beautiful vistas, diverse geography and an incredibly unique culture and history, appeal to the interests of anybody. Whether traveling independently or as part of a tour, travel to Mongolia is a unique vacation for any gay travelers.
