Yikes. That's not something I'll attempt again for at least a year. I was talking with a friend today about the idea that as I get older I become more insular and detached from people. I know a part of it is getting involved in the projects I find myself spending all of my time on. Lincoln Calling this year was such a huge part of my life once summer rolled around. A lot of my friends were out of town on internships or having graduated moved away for jobs.
But it was fun (for the most part) to work on Lincoln Calling this year, and seeing so many of my friends at the shows this weekend felt great. I saw displays of raw emotion that are rare in some of the people I know. And knowing that I contributed to an all out dance party at Box Awesome was a great feeling as well.
One of my favorite moments was walking into Duffy's Tavern while Gito Gito Hustler was playing and there was a standing room only crowd in the music room. Smiles everywhere and a band full of Japanese girls on stage with the lead singer in a heavy accent yelling "are you ready to rock and roll?!" The crowd responded with a resounding yes.
People who interviewed me in the media asked "why, why do you do this Jeremy?" And I might have been able to give them a stock answer at the time, but I managed to put some thought into really answering the question.
I know a part of it is my ego. I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I can handle the challenge of something this big and arduous and be successful when it's go time. Is the monetary pay out at the end of the day worth the time that I put in? No? Do I feel validated when people tell me I did a good job of putting it together? Not really. But seeing people let themselves go, if only for a little while, and knowing I played a little part in that feeling that I love so much in myself, is all I think I really need.
I know I'm gaining invaluable experience that I'll be able to use in some occupation later in life...maybe. If anything I'm passing the time until something better comes along.
Goodbye LC '07, it was a good run.

Nebraska Book Company Inc is a horribly dishonest company. Mark W. Oppegard is a mail fraud white collar criminal that buys textbooks for college students claims that they were damaged in shipping and that they have recycled the damaged book receives a refund from Amazon.com with an A-Z claim. When the book is requested to be returned they claim they have already recycled it in a form letter below. He is a thief a thug and a criminal an I would advise anyone form doing business with his company. I am filling a claim with the Nebraska Attorney Generals Office in regards to this despicable company.
