During the past weekend, I managed to keep myself relatively active, so to speak. How did I do that? Well, now that you ask…
On Saturday, I went to a friend’s wedding in Hastings. This was a large event, with about 350 people at both the wedding itself and at the reception. The reception had an open bar (beer only, actually), which is always a plus. Unfortunately, I could only stay until about 8 p.m. When I got back home, I found out that my family was planning to head to Omaha on Sunday for…
…the Nebraska Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commemoration festival, which ran from Saturday through today. Being a history geek myself, I had planned to see this myself on Monday or Tuesday, but I wish my parents had told me about their plans earlier, so that I could have met them there instead of going home first. Anyway, the festival was quite entertaining; there was much dancing to see, music to hear, vendors to browse, speakers to impart knowledge, and food to eat. One of my professors from UNL, Gary Moulton, was presenting on the personalities of the expedition; I managed to learn a thing or two that he didn’t talk about in his class. Finally, I was able to check out a band that I had read about in the local papers, Brule. They are a comtemporary Native American band; I highly encourage you to check out their music. You’ll be very glad that you did. That was my Sunday adventure.
I headed back to Lincoln on Monday in time to take in the monthly tour of Empyrean Brewing Co. As always, it was tasty goodness; craft beer is such a wonderful thing. If only I had remembered to take my growler with me…
I need to find an apartment very soon.
history is for old farts and crazy people.
however, breweries are the neetest.
Need updates!
