My family and I went to see The Drowsy Chaperone at Kansas City's Starlight theater. The production was funny and the set was impressive, but the most bloggable moment of the evening came when I noticed something hiding above the covered walkway- bats.
Carefully tucked away in one of the crevices was an entire family of bats. I was disappointed that I didn't have my camera with me. If you want to find the bats, show up to the theater just before sundown. If you are facing the stage, you will find them on the right hand side. The bats are nuzzled between two of the slabs of concrete that make up the covered walkway. There were at least four of them in the crevice.
If you look carefully you will see the bats flying around the theater eating insects after the sun goes down.I did a search and according to a blog titled Devious Bloggery these bats interrupted a Depeche Mode concert by hitting the lead singer, Dave Gahan, in the face.HOAX!

The bats are our friends! The link about the DM show issues being due to bats is just untrue. The bats live in the covered walkways in specific areas, and do NOT live in the towers or other production-related spaces. Enjoy the show!
I think the bats are great! They eat the insects and are a part of the natural environment.
It is too bad that someone would post something untrue. If someone who represents Depeche Mode verifies that the claim is untrue, I will strike it out on my blog.
dude, that devious bloggery post ain't true. read all the links and the related "photo". it was just a funny hoax.
