March
2012 I was given a new position at Laupus Library. I moved from my little
cubicle on the 2nd floor up to an office on the 4th floor. NEVER did I
know that becoming Laupus Library's Collection Development Coordinator would
lead me to meeting some pretty awesome guys.
As Beth (my new awesome
boss lady) and I were getting situated into our new offices we noticed that a
group of PA students liked to study right outside our offices. We didn't
really know what to think at first about these guys. Were they going to
be quiet little studious boys or were they going to be the typical annoying
boys? Yep you guessed it... Typical annoying boys is right!
Sometimes they talk about their families, sometimes they talk about their
classmates, sometimes they make all sorts of bodily noises and sometimes they
actually study.
One day
I overheard them talking about their current topic of study... Poop!
After hearing them talking about all the different kinds of poop that
existed I finally had to say something. They were shocked to know that I
was even listening... I mean come on how could you not listen to boys talking
about poop? Ever since that day they haven't shut up... but
it's OK I kind of like it. Without them being up here on the
4th floor the silence would kill me. I look forward to them being up here
studying, but instead of me listening to their conversations I actually get to
join in on them.
These
guys had a fun project to create for one of their classes this summer.
They had to come up with a presentation for Quitting Smoking and the sky
was the limit when it came to creativity. They decided they would become
a boy band... Boy Bandemia that is. They rewrote the lyrics to "I
Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys and turned it into "I'll
Quit But Not Today" by Boy Bandemia. Not only did they decide to
write these lyrics they took their vocals to the studio where they recorded
their smash hit. Once they found out about my photography skills we both
knew that a photo shoot had to happen.
I've
had a blast working on this project with the guys. They truly are a blast
to be around and I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking
them.
I've included their AMAZING video for your viewing pleasure... Their goal is to go viral, so let's make it happen!!!!

Oh and if you go to the
Doctor's one day and one of these guys walks into your exam room I wouldn't be
too alarmed -- They actually study and I think just maybe they know what they
are doing!
Here is their album artwork...
