ladybug_archiveOne 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?"

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

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
