SHOUT OUT - Ryan Conferido & SickStep

This post is neither related to beliefs, blackness nor Bollywood but I have to give a shout out to my boy Ryan Conferido who came all the way out to the 'Ville with a couple of his boys from SickStep just to perform at a Valentine's Coffeehouse a few friends were throwing yesterday. The very thought that people would want to leave So. Cal to spend a weekend in Nashvegas is baffling to me but we really appreciated having them.

For those of you unawares, Ryan was on the first season of the Fox program, So You Think You Can Dance and he held his own pretty well. Unfortunately, some studio-trained pretty boy ran home with the grand prize but it's all good. Ryan has a great heart. He's multitalented, a Christian, and will undoubtedly be successful in whatever he decides to do.

Drop him a line at his myspace page here. In case you were wondering, he does give lessons...
