Free pitcher with a large pizza

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005

I find myself doing stupid things for food. Lately it’s been a habit of mine, when in a new city, to waste a good two hours or more in search of a late night meal. Maybe Omaha and Lincoln are just ridiculously predictable, but I’ve grown accustomed to the idea of finding places to eat […]

Big weekend

Friday, July 1st, 2005

First off, Saturday is the wedding of Derek J. Lippincott. Then I fly to Florida early Sunday morning to interview Mr. 1776, the superhero formerly known as Burgh Man, for my documentary. He’s making his debut on Hollywood Beach on the 4th of July, so it will be exciting to actually be able to capture […]

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

Inspired by one of jxz’s recent posts, and because I can’t get to sleep, here are my Top 25 Most Played songs, according to iTunes: 1. “Only You” by YazI love everything Vince Clarke, and while Erasure spends more time overall in my various music players, my cel phone rings “Situation” and “Only You” is […]

Thunderbirds are Sunday!

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

If you’re looking for something to do Sunday, the one and only Jeremy Buckley, aka The Guy Who Invented Lincoln Calling, put together a show of bands that come highly recommended. Thunderbirds are Now!, a band out of Detroit, Michigan, will be playing at the 9th Street Basement with Lincoln bands Thunderstandable and Eagle*Seagull. From […]

Not only will you find episode playlists, it’s also going to be a bit of a music blog as I – and several other contributors – will be posting legal mp3 downloads of some of the music you can […]

Take it like a man

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

Every once in a while, a song comes along that totally defines its era on KRNU. Based on a combination of what the DJs like, what the listeners request, and just the dumb luck of what comes up in the rotation and where the song falls in the tracklisting, a song ends up representing its […]

New music project

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

Just like most of my musical projects, this one is probably going to be too ambitious, but here we go… I’ve been discouraged at how, for the past few years, I haven’t really been all that inspired to make music. But I was pretty confident that I still had it in me – I was […]

Happy graduation Erica! (part 2)

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

Here are a few more pictures from Erica’s graduation weekend. This picture is from after the ceremony, when everyone pours down from the stands to say greet the graduates. Here’s Erica with mom and dad, who’ve now seen all three of their babies graduate. Here are Melany and Miqaela during Erica’s recpetion in one of […]

Happy graduation Erica!

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

My youngest sister, Erica, graduated high school today, which seems absolutely unreal to me. I still clearly remember coming home from school the first day she was home from the hospital. I was in third grade, and she was in her first week of being alive. When she was a baby, I got a kick […]

Twenty ounce cheeseburgers

Thursday, May 5th, 2005

Cheeburger Cheeburger is this – believe it or not – burger restaurant that has 20 oz cheeseburgers. I first experienced it last year on spring break, when Matthew, Nate, Sara and I went to Ft. Lauderdale. Nate and I both finished the 20 oz. burger, while Matthew and Sara both had some 8-10 oz. little […]
