Don’t Look Cats Directly in the Eyes

room 8 ECHOES

Location: Lincoln, Nebraska, United States

Join us on a walk around a small part of the city of Lincoln. Lincoln has many little quirks that not a lot people know about. It’s all about having the right tour guide, one who can point out the charming wildlife (not rats I promise), and beautiful art pieces that reach a little too close to the sun.

You Have Reached the Voicemail Box of...

[DO NOT USE NOISE CANCELLATION HEADPHONES] You are nothing more than a bystander to other's stories. Each person lives differently than you, our paths aren't the same. There is so much history that follows a person - even the mind can't fully comprehend the infinite possibilities of another's life. You are nothing more than a listener and a observer to life.
