Lincoln Calling is an annual, non-profit music festival focusing on emerging artists and occurring across multiple venues in downtown Lincoln, Neb.

If you’re a festival goer, you’ll notice more and more these days that big music and arts festivals are including a significant comedy portion in their programming. 

Lincoln Calling in Nebraska, happening from Thursday, October 6th-Saturday, October 8th, is doing just that with the names above (who we feel that you should be well acquainted with for how funny they are if you’re not already) and many more.

If you’re in or around Lincoln, NE at the beginning of October, you can (and should) get your tickets here.

“while you are an ugly old man taking pictures for the rest of your life”

I’ve never really told anyone this story before.

The friend of a girl I dated from high school through part of freshman year in college wasn’t happy with me this night. I was a sophomore in college, still of the age where I hadn’t figured out that my hair looks better cut short and I was on my then-new girlfriend’s couch.

I did something wrong, obviously, to draw the Facebook message attack you see below. The old girlfriend had contacted me trying to get information about something happening in Lawrence, Kan., in the student newspaper in Lincoln, Neb. I was a staff photographer there, told my boss who talked to a news editor, and they didn’t have an interest in covering it. It was simply out of our coverage for the purpose of the campus readership.

From 12:27 a.m. during the first hour of that Friday Oct. 22:

“[my best friend] will be successful on her own while you are an ugly old man taking pictures for the rest of your life. ANYONE can learn to pick up a camera and make something look good. it takes a true talented person to do the things she has been doing for the past couple of months. you are talentless and heartless. take notes from the people around you especially your ex who happens to be my best friend whom i know is one of the most amazing, giving people who walks this planet. have a nice night basking in your patheticness.”

I’m glad she sent me this message. It was one of the first times I realized how much is possible if you completely reject all of the negativity that is meant by the quoted words above.

But there’s that one sentence in there where she’s right! I will be taking pictures for the rest of my life and, if I make it there, I’ll be an ugly old man at the same time for some years. It really won’t be so bad.

Alas, that story is only vaguely related to the pictures below. Lincoln Calling this year was a blast...I'm working on editing a few nice videos for Universe Contest from the crazy spaceship of a show that Duffy's was Saturday night. Stay tuned.
