Last night, I went to FALLfest. It's the annual concert event that welcomes students back to morgantown. Literally thousands of students and guests attended the event. There was a wide variety of artists on stage including this guy, Lupé Fiasco. He was the only person who I watched the entire set for. While his lyrics were not always the most eloquent or family friendly, he provided a high energy performance, and even took a moment of silence to remember all of those who were killed in the previous year as a result of campus violence or who were victimized in campus rapes. I was actually really impressed with the way he was able to rhyme while running and jumping at a fast pace as he and his crew danced while they rapped and sang.
FALLfest had a little something for everyone, and the headliners even included a Christian band called Day of Fire.
I spent yesterday evening going back and forth between sozo and the mountainlair--trying to connect with students as many made the return trip to morgantown just in time for classes to start.
All in all there were about a dozen of us who spent the evening together wandering through the crowds and standing packed like sardines for the event on campus.
The semester is on it's way now. Folks are scurrying all about campus as they strive to make their way around and learn the ropes.
And, in the middle of it all, I was able to join several thousand others in enjoying a free concert with friends.
