Lincoln Exposed Thoughts and Musings...

A couple of weeks ago I read an ad in The Dailyer Nebraskan (UNL's satirical newspaper) to write for Seeds, the entertainment section (kind of a like an AV Club to Nebraska's The Onion) and took it upon myself to check it out.  One of my friends already went to Dailyer meetings, so I asked if I could join and I've been attending meetings ever since.  Granted, that's only a whopping two weeks so far, but nevertheless it's been a great experience.

This weekend I helped cover Lincoln Exposed for Seeds, an annual music festival in Lincoln where 3 bars have 4 nights of musical performances by local bands only.  It was a great time.  Being from Denver, I'd never realized how great of a music scene Lincoln has.  Granted, I didn't see that many bands, but some of those I did see were simply phenomenal.  Personal favorites were Bonehart Flannigan, the craziest and most drunken concert I've ever experienced (to clarify, I wasn't drunk, but Flannigan was), Tie These Hands, and of course, the incomparable A Ferocious Jungle Cat (don't know who they are? Neither did I, but you should really fix that).  In addition, I got to spend a fair amount of time getting to know the staff at Seeds and The Dailyer, and they're pretty much amazing.

I'd been looking to get into some extracurricular I could really sink my teeth into, and I think I've finally found that with Seeds, not to mention I've found a really great group of people to spend the occasional hour or two with, and that's what college is all about, am I right, or am I right?
