USE THE FORCE, STEVE-O: JACK-FM's Star Wars-themed multimedia space took First Place in the Celebrity Designer Rooms contest at Bartle Hall over the weekend. That means we get to donate $500 in prize money to Harvesters Community Food Network.

DARTH VADER: "I find your lack of voting for Steve-O's Designer Room disturbing."

FULLY ARMED AND OPERATIONAL BATTLE STATION: Crowds were drawn in by the booming sound of the Return of the Jedi Blu-Ray on HDTV in surround-sound, courtesy of Home Connections of Greater Kansas Ctiy.

REAL GENIUS: Galaxy-sized thanks to my designer dream team from Designed 4 You.

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO TEAR THIS DOWN AFTERWARD? Check out this hand-painted backdrop.

SPREAD 'EM: This event was 70 times better thanks to superstar appearances by the 70th Explorers Garrison. Although next time we'll know to get proper permits for those Blasters and Lightsabers!

FRIENDLY COMPETITION: Hanging with KMBC-9 traffic guru Johnny Rowlands and KSHB news' Keith King in Johnny's ultra-cool Designer Rooms entry. This swanky bar plays round-the-clock Sinatra and serves real alcohol!

EXTRA CREDIT: Thank you Michele and Meghan at Vintage Stock for the cool collectibles ... Sherwin Williams, Rug Studio, Rekindled Spaces, Trend Stone, and Mountain Movers for their invaluable contributions ... Acoustic Graffiti for the musical instruments ... the Kansas City Star for mentioning us specifically in their story ... and Audra and the gang at Sand Dollar Events for the invitation to participate in this event.
