This past Saturday was the Rock Out to Support Our Troops concert at Anacon Hall. The major disappointment was that there was a lack of MU students at the event. The event in question though was for a very good cause and also held in honor of Christopher Cosgrove, an MU alumni who was killed in Iraq last fall. All the proceeds from the $12 tickets went to support Marines Helping Marines and Soldier's Angels. Both of these groups work to help the Marines and other troops overseas from the littlest to the biggest things. Most of the help comes in the form of making it possible for family and friends to remain in contact with their soldier wherever they be stationed.
Even though I was working the event and did not have to pay, I still did, and I'm a cheapskate, so if you think that makes you feel bad, it should. You can still help support our troops through various organizations, so feel free to.
Also at this event were several local bands. Most of them were decent enough, but the one that got me was Stealing Jane who was a jam band. Their energy was all over and the music was good. For those who did not show up, you missed out.
