Oh the irony....

One more thing I've been thinking of that proves the guys never stopped being important to me....

I remember being in Borders in 2002 or 2003 (it must have been one of those, anyway, since the album went out of print after that and was re-released on an independent label in 2004) and seeing the Comfort and Joy album. I pulled it out and looked at it, and was bewildered. XD; I'm ashamed to say I didn't recognize Scott, because I wasn't good at recognizing people yet and I was used to seeing him with curly hair. (If his hair had been curly there, or if the picture had been bigger, I probably would have recognized him....) And I didn't recognize Elliott, either. But if I'd recognized that Scott and El were there, I probably would have bought the album then and there. I know I was considering it. And I can't help wondering what would have been different had I bought it then. XD It's pointless to wonder, but I'm still curious.

Another vivid memory I have is hearing them do the "Where in the World is Matt Lauer?" thing on TV. I wasn't in the room, but Dad had it on and I heard it, and my thought process was something like, "Oh my gosh! It's them! ... What are they doing with the Carmen song? And who's Matt Lauer?"

D'you mean, you might have rediscovered the fandom earlier had you bought the CD then? Hmm...interesting to think about. ^^

Haha, your thought process there made me giggle. >3

I bet I would have. XD Maybe I would have even had a chance to see a concert before Elliott left, if they did one around here.

I also remember seeing the CD marketed as the soundtrack to the show in the library around 2001, when I was just rediscovering the old Disney Afternoon shows. I wasn't ready to revisit the show itself at that time, so I didn't check it out. It's debatable whether I would have checked out a Rockapella CD not connected with the show around that time. But I know I would have looked at it. ♥

I totally didn't recognize Elliott either, even after seeing clips of the show again! It wasn't until I found out that Elliott had cut all his hair that I realized who it was. XD;

Yeah, that's definitely something that would make you want to wonder, even though it doesn't do any good. Wondering how things might have been different happens to me too, sometimes, but then I figure that if I had done something differently, it might have changed all the good things that had happened. And I know that I definitely wouldn't want to change those, so then I don't worry about it any more. ^^

LOL @ the Matt Lauer song. ....I still don't know who the guy is. XD;

**nodnod.** Yeah, that's one reason why I try not to wonder too much about those things. ^^

XD He's some guy on The Today Show who had that segment on it that the guys provided the theme for. Beyond that, I don't know. LOL. There's a fun clip on YouTube of them doing a full-length version of the Matt Lauer song on The Today Show. XD

LJ's finally working for me again!!!!!

**squee!** I'm officially back to LJ!

Anyway... you're not alone. I didn't recognize El at first, until you told me he was on there. XD Then I looked again, and I was all... "Oh, yeah... that's El... where's his hair!?" Scott and the others I could recognize, since I had seen them two years ago. X3

And LOL at the Matt Lauer thing... I do remember that, too. **snerk**

W00t! X3 Yay working LJ!

XD El is easy to recognize when he smiles. ♥

I heard Scott and El do their part of the classic line, and Barry's unmistakable voice chiming in with "Matt Lauer!" Nostalgia and confusion all at once. XD
