Grand Forks Has Soul?

There's nothing like going back to your high school five years after graduation. Five years after you made a pledge never to return to that hole unless forced at gun point.

It's an intimidating place these days. All these kids with freakishly long hair running around acting like we did at the same age, however much we refuse to admit it....

Today was youth day - a day that involved going back to the high school to see just how many people my age were actually still in this town. I saw only two, although I'm positive that most were too afraid to admit that they were still in town and refused to show up.

One of the "highlights" was a performance by Red One of the Rascalz, a Canadian hip hop group. His manager actually went to high school in Grand Forks and so implored the artist to play here. Honestly, there is nothing like seeing an overly predominant caucasian audience "groovin'" to hip hop. Apparently this town really does have some soul.
