For over four years, I’ve run #DadChat and it’s been an INCREDIBLE experience. I only missed it a few times, managing to find a wi-fi spot on the road, in the oceans off the coast of Africa, and in so many other circumstances.

VPA - square

I am on the train, returning from visiting Syracuse University with my son. It wasn’t a traditional junior-year college visit because he had already been accepted under “early decision” and had already committed. Nonetheless, the experience was probably pretty similar to the college visits many kids and parents embark on. For my son and me, it was truly awesome.

Brunst Flash Mob Singing in New York – #NYCTV #DadChat

Posted on by

I’m on a train from Penn Station in New York to Syracuse University, with my son Aaron Sallan, after spending an amazing 4 1/2 days in New York City with his acapella singing groups from Calabasas High School.

They were invited to perform at Carnegie Hall by Deke Sharon who is known to be the Godfather of modern acapella. On the way to their performance (many more videos from the trip and rehearsals will be coming), this spontaneous event took place. All I had was my iPhone but I did my best to capture the incredible spirit of these kids.

And, btw, they ROCKED Carnegie Hall!
