Something FUN!

So Jared and I did do something fun recently! It was totally Jared - he found the idea, he talked me into it, and he made it happen....and it was AWESOME!

Jared heard about this group Straight No Chaser coming to the Devos Hall - let me say that Jared and I would love to go to just about anything at Devos Hall, it's one of the things we really like to do. Straight No Chaser is an accapella (I don't know how to spell that and spell check keeps trying to change it to "spatula" so oh well) group and they are AMAZING. They are great singers, they are funny, and people from all age groups were there having a great time! We also got to sit in those seats along the side on the 2nd level, where you sit one person in front of the other. At first I didn't know if I would like it cause I wasn't sitting next to Jared, but they were great! There was TONS of leg room and you could still talk if you needed too, but most of the time we were so excited about the music I didn't want to talk. I just shot a HUGE smile back to Jared every once in a while.

Here is a little story about how they got started and the video that started it all. If they are coming to an area near you I HIGHLY recommend going to see them! Enjoy...

Basically the guys started the group at Indiana University in 1996 to "pick up girls" they had a great time but eventually all started to graduate and went on to get real jobs. In 2006 they were going to have a reunion so one of the guys posted some of their old videos on YouTube so they could laugh at each other and reminisce about the old days. Well one of their videos got over 7 million hits! They were quickly signed to a record label and have been doing this ever since! CRAZY!! Ok here is the video that got all the hits and started their career...

Oh here is their website too: http://www.sncmusic.com/
