Hi, I’m Ben. You never give me your money. You only give me your funny paper. And in the middle of negotiations, you break down. I never give you my number. I only give you my situation. And in the middle of investigation, I break down.

Just think about it… and get back to me. When you do, we can have a conversation about what exactly these words might be implying. And perhaps we can also discuss architecture, or cloud formations, or whatever else you might like. Or we could just stare into each other eyes. I’d like that.

Bye for now, but not forever…

Biggest Regret: Trying out for other groups

Hi everyone, I’m Jack. I don’t have much to say, except that I’m thrilled that I somehow managed to trick Shere Khan into accepting me, and have had some of the best times of my life singing, traveling, and just hanging out with Shere Khan over the last few years. If you have any questions about the group feel free to email me (marzulli@princeton.edu)!

Since I haven’t filled my space quota, I’ll leave you with the surprisingly accurate bio that Julie Leary ’12 wrote for me when I was young, impressionable, and didn’t realize I was supposed to wrote my own bio for the website (last year).

“Hi, I’m Jack (junior)! I stumbled upon SK when I heard their sweet versions of two of my fave songs, “Steal My Kisses,” and “Teenage Dirtbag.” A true SK story. I enjoy memorizing the words to Helpless, MUS 104 with my bff Julie (sometimes simultaneously), and layering t-shirts with polos. My favorite memory from SK is exploring the Panama jungle with Ohu.”

Thanks for checking out the SK website!

Julie Leary

Julie Leary Voice: Soprano
Class: 2012
Hometown: Cleveland, OH
Favorite Dish Derived From Chickpeas: Hummus

Hi, I’m juweewee! I’m one of the gorgeous sops in this awesome group. I enjoy watching zombie movies, impersonating Lady Gaga, and writing haikus. I have this awful recurring dream that SK is going to sing and I forget the pitchpipe and I have neglected to make a set list. It’s terrible. But hey! It’s worth it! SK IS WORTH IT!

Peter Favaloro

Be Sure to Ask Him About: The Bridge to Nowhere

Peter hails from Boston, where he is a member of a classic Italian family, complete with mafioso uncles and enormous family reunions. When not lamenting the cancellation of Arrested Development, he can be found at the boathouse or kickin’ it in Wilcox Dining Hall. Peter is a fan of breakfast, epic poetry, and the Red Sox.
