It’s been super rainy here lately. We tried to plan a camping trip but, due to the rain, we decided it would be better to do something else. So we visited Wichita’s First Friday music crawl.

In an effort to combine my blogs, I thought I would review the new coffee/donut shop that I visited in Wichita.

We ended the First Friday music crawl with coffee and a donut from Donut Whole, http://www.thedonutwhole.com/. It was a great eclectic little shop, with great donuts and coffee. I had the regular bold brewed coffee and a chocolate donut.

This little shop has a great atmosphere, art and I’m sure music at times. They had a large stage. One of the features I particularly liked was an outlet at every booth. One of the things I find annoying is no outlets when wanting to work on my computer at a coffee shop.

If you’re in Wichita, visit this little place and let me know what you think. You can find it at 1720 E. Douglas.

I also wanted to put a note in about the Wichita First Friday Music Crawl. This is an interesting concept. It is like an art walk, except you pop into bars, coffee shops and hotel lobbies to hear music. It was a little awkward, as some of the places served food and wanted to put your name on the list, or sell you a drink. There didn’t seem to be a lot of people doing the pop in, listen to a few songs and move on thing like we wanted to do. I also think it would help to have some street performers, so that there would be more going on outside as people are walking to the different venues.

The idea of a music crawl definitely has some possibilities. I would like to visit it again in a couple months and see how it evolves.
