Whose signatures are on the page, you might ask? Guster's, of course. We had them sign our yearbooks when we went as a club to their summer concert, and then the band wrote a nice ditty about us on their website:
Once again, Utah's crowd blew us away with their energy. How is that this happens every tour? Mormons in the audience, Jews on stage, etc... I don't get it. It might have something to do with Andrew Vernon, who had us sign his yearbook after the show -- right next to the "Guster and Me" club he started at his high school in Salt Lake City.
After signing it, we asked Drew to email us a picture of it, so we could point out the number of people in the Chess Club versus the number of members in the Guster and Me Society. And so we could unleash our newest slogan:
Guster -- More Popular than Chess... in Utah.
Haha!
I'd mostly forgotten about Guster simply because their 4th and 5th albums didn't strike me as much as the first three had. But then I saw this music video from my brother-in-law's website Film Post Collective.
Anyway, the video just sparked a bit of nostalgia.
Speaking of nostalgia, here's another clip I found on Film Post Collective. This is the trailer for Back to the Future, a movie that taught me several swear words, two of which I started saying regularly around friends until one of my friend's older brothers informed that I was swearing, at which point I ran home and started bawling on the stairs because I felt so guilty.
Funny trailer:

Andrew Vernon? I swear that name is familiar. Did we gave him a scholarship from the Springville Chamber of Commerce when I was on the board? Am I remembering right?
I remember liking Guster's songs on the radio, though I never bought an album. Man, that club is huge--did that many people really like the band, or were they being ironic about it?
Margy—Yep, that's the one. A enterprising guy, that one.
Dallin—definitely a lot of irony in that crowd.
That song was my introduction to Guster. Within four months I was at a concert with all the lyrics memorized.
Good times, Jon. Keep it Together didn't do it for you? Agreed it's not like LAGF but in my opinion a pretty good album.
Margy -- thanks for the scholarship!
