ALMOST Famous

Upon waking in my bed this morning I remembered that it was General Conference Weekend!
O what a glorious weekend it is!!


I quickly turned on my new MacBook and began watching live on lds.org.
I had missed the first two speakers or so, but I caught most of the action. (If you can call it action.)
This made me reflect on a time that I was actually IN General Conference and sang in the Conference Center.  I bet you didn't know that I did that, huh?  Well I did!
Let me tell you about it...

In the 2005-2006 school year I was a student at the University of Utah located in the somewhat beautiful Salt Lake valley.  While there I was in a show choir called Encore!  While in this choir it was expected of us to sing, dance, and entertain for the many crowds that gathered to see us do so.  It was a jolly good time, I assure you.
I also partook in Institute at the UofU Institute!  I met a lot of great people while there and in my show choir.

Calm down.  I'm getting there.
...
Where was I?
Oh ya...
During the April 2006 conference the UofU Institute and the Orem Institute created a combined choir that was privileged to sing during the Priesthood session of conference.
I, being the singing beast that I am, partook in this choir!
and so I got to sing on the stand where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir usually sings, and got to be less than 50 feet away from a Prophet of God.  It was quite amazing!

All of this is what I reflected on this morning when I woke up, and so I began a search for the video of us singing our couple songs.
AND TO MY SURPRISE I ACTUALLY FOUND ONE!
Strangely enough it had only been uploaded about 7 months ago!
And so I will also post it on our video section.
I will post the one song that you are actually able to see me in and I will make a challenge:  If you can find me, and show me, or post a comment that indicates that you actually know where I am, not just a generic comment that says "YOU ARE IN THE PICTURE, OMGLOLZ!!!1!11"
I'll even give you a hint: Look around 42 seconds in and around 2:27.  You will see me, I promise.  Even if you don't know that you are seeing me.


That's all, really.  Nothing else to update! :)

P.S. Can I also just add a little note on the bottom here?
OF COURSE I CAN!
It disturbs me a little bit that when I check where the traffic for this blog is coming from, the second source is apparently a news story about a "man arrested raping little sister using housecat as sex toy."

What on Earth are you people looking at before stumbling upon this?!
