the long lost shot

From 1999 to 2002, I was a member of the SoCal VoCals. We sang rock a cappella like frickin’ rockstars and it was some of the most fun I’ve had onstage in my life. Yeah, yeah, a cappella is for geeks – whatever. Go see a really great group sometime and then try to tell me you didn’t want to get up there and beatbox.

So during my last year in the group (and my second year as music director), we headed for the ICCA Semifinals. I’m still involved with the ICCA in a more professional capacity, but back then, I was headed to Stanford with my friends ready to kick some ass and take some names. Along with our caravan, we had our own private journalist, Brendan Loy. He took hundreds of photos and wrote up a great review of the whole experience in the Daily Trojan.

There was one photo in particular that I fell in love with, but somewhere along the way, it was lost, and though Brendan and I spent months trying to find it, eventually I had to give up and hope that one day I could recreate the shot. Until a few minutes ago, when I received an email containing this:

Thank you Brendan!!
