I saw them, I can prove it!

I'm sure you all heard about Acappellastock 2008. It was the party of the year. I went. My roomie and I both went. Don't regret it. I was doubtful at the beginning when the sun was blinding the show out of my eyes and I figured it'd all be over by the time the sun went down. But the sun went down pretty quick, and the show was about 3 hours long, so it worked out great. And it was an awesome show. Like fer serious.


Rockapella, familiar with them? When they started out, there were four guys, none of who[m] are currently involved. They're retired, you might say. But they reunited by popular demand, and performed a whole twice. Count 'em, one, twice. The twicent performance was Acappellastock. I was there. The bass was Barry Carl. He's my hero, as far as alive people go. See the video currently featured on this blog for further information. So I was real excited to meet him, cause, ya know, he's my hero. I even wrote ahead of time to ask him if it was plausible for me to expect to get a picture with him. He said yes. Huzzah! Then we got to the show. I've got the tickets, I've got four sets of extra batteries just in case my camera dies, but wait a minute... how can my camera die... if it's sitting at home in the kitchen? Which it was. I was pretty disgusted when I realized that. So after the show I got all their autographs on my ticket stub, and shook their hands, talked to them for a few seconds before the line moved along. That was grand. Then I got home and decided that rather than be discouraged, I'd take control of the situation. I took my own pictures anyway!
Me and the boys chillin'

Me and 'Bear' shaking hands. What a guy.

Yep. Just as good as the real thing. I'll be tellin' stories about these pictures for years.

Oh Jarbear (hey, you and Barry have similar nicknames...) you are flipping hilarious. It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud at something on the computer, but you have succeeded. Well done. I'm sure your children's children's children will be talking about these pictures.
