I Think I Belong to a Gang Now?

Behold, our gang colours!

I officially joined the Sounds of Superior chapter of the Sweet Adelines.  [Insert Homer's Barbershop Quartet Joke Here]  I hang out with a group of women who dress exactly the same and pressure me into activities I would not normally do on my own.

Me and "North Lenore"

I had to wear hooker makeup.  We went and sang at the Bingo Hall (which is a 2 minute walk from my appartment, but they picked me up so that I would be "safe").  Next Sunday, we're doing the TBay Rotary "Sing Out."  I am not entirely convinced I won't have to kill a stranger to prove my loyalty.

Nancy is the nicest woman on earth.

Lana's a newbie like me!

But seriously... when I officially passed my audition and joined, the incredibly group of mostly septuagenarians held hands in a circle and sang a welcome song the likes of which could only be rivaled by all the Whos down in Whoville. I wasn't crying... YOU were crying!  Who would have thought this is where I'd feel most welcome and that Monday nights plucking out 4-part harmonies would be the highlight of every week.

As soon as I get the video to stop being upside down, I will post footage of the Christmas Party that happened tonight.  Thank you for being so incredibly welcoming, Sweet Adelines!
