Green Bay did itself proud with the NFL kick off celebration earlier this week. The weather was spectacular, the crowd sizable but well-behaved, and the game entertaining.
As part of the pre-game festivities, there was a concert given by Maroon 5, Kid Rock, and Lady Antebellum. As parts of these concerts would be broadcast, there was a "casting call" for people to surround the stage. Being the music fan I am, I went to the appropriate website to enter my information so that I might be picked as one of the screaming minions.
Everything was going great, until I hit the field marked "AGE?"
Damn.
I'm sure the last thing the producers wanted was to see my old rear end shaking to Bawitdaba. I stopped and considered my slim prospects.
And then I lied about my age.
Just like I did when standing in front of a bouncer in college, I looked the website straight in the eye and lied. And it was a whopper, too. I shaved off 20 years.
While I didn't get selected (note to self, next time, make it even younger), it was interesting to have to lie about my age again. And I thought my days of trying to pass myself off as a college upperclassman were over...
