If other museums across the country are anything like the Nelson-Atkins, the administrative offices are strewn all over the place. There are some offices in the Nelson-Atkins Building while others are located in the new Bloch Building. Some of us poor souls even have offices in a separate building a few blocks away. Because of our separation, we choose to have social gatherings for the staff and volunteers on a regular basis.
Yesterday was the annual St. Patrick's Day potluck. This year's event was graced by a performance by Rah! Booty. Their My Space page describes them as: "Avant garde cheerleaders from the Kansas City Art Institute. We do adult age cheers, dance routines and make our own costumes."
Their performance was highly entertaining. My favorite cheer was about Tupperware. They definitely added some local flavor to our little potluck. Go Nelson-Atkins!
