I'm singing in concert with Journey and Foreigner tonight!
« on: August 31, 2011, 01:33:00 PM »
I swear. And the story's pretty simple:

I'm in a pretty serious (commitment-wise) show choir (that also does a cappella) at my school, and at the end of June last year, my director got an email from Foreigner's manager saying that they needed backup singers on their hit "I Want to Know What Love Is."

SO. PSYCHED. Not a huge fan or anything, but still.

Well, a few obscure indie ones, but I don't count that as the "concert experience." I have very very strict parents.

Funny aside, my senior year of college, any time one of my roommates was getting busy with a girl I used to blast "I Want To Know What Love Is" through my surround sound system
