Totally self-aggrandizing, blatantly nepotistic post – my son and the Philly Boys Choir warming up for CBS taping

Categories:

Another in a long line of buff-my-knuckles, pat-myself-on-the-back, self-congratulatory posts. A photo of the Philadelphia Boys Choir (and my son Evan) getting ready to tape some Christmas Day television spots for CBS Philly:

Now, a little challenge. As I posted on my Google + page (YES PEOPLE STILL USE GOOGLE +, STOP IT), try to pick out my son. First comment below that nails it gets an e-copy of any one of my books. I’ll give just the slightest of hints: if you know me at all, you may describe me using a lot of terms (most of which I can’t post here for fear of moderation issues with WordPress), but I’ll stick with “unique.” And so goes the family bloodline.

So…which one is Evan?

I’m going to guess the one in front that is holding his santa hat and not wearing it?

It HAS to be the one with the green shiny Christmas Tree hat looking off into space on his left.

Good guesses so far (except Robert – sheesh…), but I’m remaining mum for now. You know, trying to bump up my site visits (I’m nothing if not transparent.)

Front row center with the long red and green hat with what looks like jingle bells?

Is your son on the left side of the picture 1st row to the left of the boy with his hat off?

Winner winner, chicken dinner – congrats to “John” (if that’s your REAL name…) who correctly guessed that my son is the one in antlers. The ONLY boy who decided to not wear a hat per se, but to go for the more ‘unique’ look of a reindeer. So proud of him…

John, DM me on Twitter (@SteveUmstead) your email address, or email me at sumstead [at] gmail.com and I’ll send out a copy of any of my e-books (your choice, let me know what format as well).

Thanks guys!
