Here are a few pictures taken from the first couple of days at Youth Sing Praise. Since I (Shannon) am not actually at YSP this year, I have no frame of reference for these pictures, so I’ll just take a guess as to what’s happening in them: This one’s pretty obvious, although it wouldn’t be…

Lost and Found
Sorry for the lack of blog posts lately. A combination of a lull in the Oddwalk schedule, and usual summer craziness for each of us individually, has contributed to the slowdown. This week, Orin (and wife, Erin) will be helping with another Youth Sing Praise music camp at the Shrine of Our Lady of the…

I thought I told you, Wednesday was my day…
Orin was amused to arrive at the office today, only to find coworker and Oddwalk friend Joe dressed in a similar way. I’m sure Joe is thrilled to be featured again on the Oddblog. While we’ve unfortunately lost the audio, click here to see his first go around with stardom.

A Night at Busch Stadium
Saturday night, Orin’s choir at the Shrine had the honor of singing “God Bless America” before the St. Louis Cardinals game! Here’s a pic Erin H. took of the jumbotron during the singing: And here’s the view Orin had, just before singing, behind home plate: Later, watching the game with friends, Oddwalk friend Mike suggested…
