Sitting here in the Chicago Airport with yet another delayed flight, but it's all been worth the effort! A great event from beginning to end thanks to the tireless Jonathan/Diana/Marty/Chris/Christina/Mu Beta Psi/South Lakes High School volunteers. A special shout out to Marty Gasper - anyone who was there saw him running back and forth from the board to the stage to other duties outside the room (he promises he wasn't taking a bathroom break), then running back up for a killer VP solo, then somewhere else... anyway, you get the picture.

So many great groups from here and abroad. Anyone who is in New York City this week MUST go see MAUF, who is here from Austria and turned the ECS into a big trance/dance club! 4 countries were represented in this year's ECS, amazing talent previously unseen in the US!

Vocaldente from Germany treated us to some "pure" A Cappella, meaning they didn't use microphones, but they still rocked. And rolled. And wiped boogers on each other... you had to be there.

Country #3 is Canada, with our old friends Cadence. If any of you are worried about how they might have changed with the departure of Kevin and Dylan, well - no reason to! Much as I loved K&D, Cadence is way more dangerous than ever - I mean, just check out Ross' new look!

Like I said, you had to be there.

Lots more to say, but they are about to call my plane - I will say that I was quite impressed with Blue Jupiter - all those months in Asia with nothing else to do but perform day in and day out has made them a crack performance unit - kind of like when the Beatles came back from Hamburg - the group themselves didn't know they had changed all that much, but their audience sure noticed! I think this is happening in this case too!
