so, I'm here for a few days and I'm wondering... What do people DO here? Can anyone turn me on to the good joints here? Food? Record shops? Anything?

Shit - I was going to say 'La Bamba' burritos - but that appears to be gone from Lincoln now...
I went out there only once in 2002 to see Helios Creed at a small place called Duffy's Tavern on O street - but I have no idea what they are usually like...
I remember one intersection somewhere that had a different cinema on 3 of the 4 corners! And I wondered to myself if they had "price wars" like old gas station days...
I am trying to remember what record shops I went to and see if they still exist... Homer's I think was OK for more recent stuff... I went to one other decent place with more vinyl and I want to say it might have been Recycled Sounds or possibly 'Lincoln Sound & Disc' ?
Remember - my data is 5-6 years old! But that might get you going on some names of places...?

Holy fuck! I guess I should field this one.
How long are you in town? Go to Box Awesome this Saturday night and say hello. I will be there playing in a rock band (Ideal Cleaners).
Go to Spindle Records or Recycled Sounds for records. Go to Yia Yia's for tasty pizza and a fine selection of beers. OSO has good, giant burritos. All of these places are downtown. Basically, go downtown.
There's not a lot here, but we are friendly people. Send me an email (band@idealcleaners.com) and I'll buy you lunch. I work downtown.

Last time I was in Lincoln was during the aftermath of a Huskers game and I witnessed an amazing bit of human drama that was sort like a Harold Pinter play unfolding in a gyro shop. It was beautiful.
So do that.
So do that.

What The Classical said. Another time I was in Lincoln, I saw some people hitting the back of a running car with a baseball bat.
Lincoln is amazing!

Do they have any cattle in the area for the sport of cow tipping?
