B-listers go bowling for KC area junkies

Steve Penn writes a nice (PR) article about a benefit for Renaissance West, a residential and outpatient addiction-recovery program, as he recounts the details of a night of (local) celebrity fun and games.

The best quote of the column, Meredith Hoenes reveals a relationship with the Kansas City area that reads like something out of an S&M book:

Hoenes started with KSHB-TV in 2004 as a traffic reporter.

“I never thought I’d stay in one place so long,” Hoenes said. “But Kansas City kind of roped me in and tied me down.”

Nice . . . And something tells me that if they could have displayed the local hotass newslady being tied down, they might have raised even more money to send middle income white people to rehab while the rest of the po'folk and brown people are sent up the river.
