Every year, Pitch staffers slink out into the city for a months-long journey of purification. As if seeking redemption from any damage we might have caused over the last year, real or imaginary, we ditch our nasty, cynical tendencies and bathe in absinthe and moonbeams. Thusly cleansed, we deliver our annual Best of Kansas City issue, once again spraying the city with all of our glistening L-U-V.
