The Safe La Crosse concert featuring Rob Gonzalez, April Maclean kicked off the 2007-2008 school year in La Crosse WI. Students from UW-La Crosse, Western Technical College, and Viterbo University came together to help make people aware of the Safe La Crosse program.
“You wouldn’t leave your cellphone behind, why would you leave your friends?”
The Safe La Crosse program was created to encourage the buddy system when making the choice of spending time with your buddies in downtown La Crosse consuming alcohol. The message is strong, and needs to be heard.
Rob Gonzalez (middle) is a very talented musician. I have seen him perform twice now. The first time I didn’t know what to expect, but now every concert is a MUST SEE!
Had a blast working at Country USA this year. I missed working last year since I had a class that interfered with the schedule. It was good to be back and see everyone again. I’m honored that people still remember me. We all wear red security shirts that don’t give us much individual identity.
Time went really fast. I worked both the festival and my summer job at once. It was pretty brutal, but I’m looking forward to getting paid twice this week. Maybe I can squeeze in a short vacation this summer.
My picks for show stealer’s this year are Emerson Drive and Montgomery Gentry. In my opinion, they got the fans going the most.
Regardless of where I end up after graduating, I might start flying to Oshkosh every year to work Country USA. I’m building ties that are making it hard to officially leave Wisconsin.
In closing, a friend at the event gave me some good advice. It’s only one word..
This semester is flying by even faster than the last. I’m less busy, but still busy lol. The city of La Crosse has a Public Intoxication Ordinance proposal hanging over the community right now. The student body at all three campuses have come together to make sure everyone is prepared and informed. Since it’s a college town, it’s not as easy as 1-2-3 to implement an ordinance like that. I’ve been heavily invovlved with learning about it, and bringing information back to Western.
I didn’t have a lot of time on Valentine’s Day, but I did take Carrie to the cafeteria and bought her a heart shaped pancake.
Other then that, I have three projects in my Advanced Video Production class. Two are independent projects, and one is a group project. The group project involves working with a client, but we also have to get our independent projects done in the same time period. I’m trying not to cram, but it’s happening anyway since I’m lacking ideas. I feel like my creativity has been muted for awhile now. For my second project, I was thinking about making a music video. My friend Luke produced one last year and it turned out really well. It was his own rendition of “Tell Me” by RA.
I’d do one similar to that. Probably to either “Never Gonna Change” by Saliva or “Our Truth” by Lacuna Coil. I’d be the lead singer in the Saliva video, or I’d have my friend Kayla take on the role of Cristina Scabbia for the Lacuna Coil video. It depends how much time I have, and the difficulty in making either look good.
Oh, and if any of you have Joost, send me an INVITE!!
