Wichitawesome: a.k.a., The Emerald City; Home on the Range; Somewhere Over the Rainbow; even The Peerless Princess of the Plains - oh yes, Wichita has been called many things, but we always know it as truly and totally awesome. Wichitawesome, that is. Welcome to our own magic carpet ride of a unique, variegated secret located somewhere over the rainbow, in the Land of Ah's, now known (thanks to Jimmy Kimmel) as Wichitawesome - and it really is. It's worth noting that Charles Plymell, one of America's greatest poets, was involved with a loose gang of experimental writers and "outsider" artists centered around Wichita, Kansas in post-war 1950s America (which also included Ginsberg). Plymell once revealed, "That was the advantage of nightlife in Wichita, Kansas. In Hollywood or New York, time would be in demand. Here it was spent for the good of it, not for the duty of it."
