The funny thing was, I was actually standing near the stair steps where Emily Watson was, feeling a bit too crowded for some reason. So I stepped back right when Lee Watson asked her to come up and sing.
Then the crowd up front kept multiplying, so I kept stepping back. All of a sudden a string of people started coming in from the front. I thought it was the photographers that were coming from Purdue Calumet. By that time I still had not figured out what was going on. Once I saw Emily and Michael Switzer hug, I went "oh oh" and thought, "I need to start shooting photos!"
By that time there was no way I was going to get a spot for that . . . my buds John and William I think new what was up and had their cameras in position. So I ran up front and took a front row seat, then snapped a couple photos.
Boy, does this first photo remind me of scenes from Dirty Dancing . . . (I've Had) the Time of My Life . . .
And, Emily was getting nervous . . .
I knew John and William had some good angles for photography, so I quickly decided to give that up and turn the camera to video . . . though I missed the very beginning of Michael's promise, I am very very glad I took this video.
