I was actually about 10-15 feet from the right "arm" platform. :)

OK, it looks like the seminarian is the pope's portable microphone here.

I saw him there. I had a better seat than him, but it wasn't open to the public. I was in the choir. I was sitting on his side of the stage, in the second row, second from the end. He sticks out in my memory as one of the most enthusiastic seminarians there. It was amazing to be there, caught up between our dear Papa and all the love the crowd was pouring out to him. I, and the rest of the choir, were truly blessed and four days later we can't stop talking about it!

Hey everyone,

I'm the seminarian who made the post.

Katherine, you were so lucky. I was mad jealous of you guys up there, getting to shake his hand! But what an incredible experience. You all in the choir were just as excited as all of us, I think!

I was over on the left side (facing the stage) in the seminarian mosh pit. Good times. It was awesome being so close with a whole bunch of fellow seminarians.

I blogged about it and made a movie along with some pictures here:

Wow, were you lucky! I did see a video clip of one of the seminarians being hoisted up and down! Mosh pit, indeed---but a HOLY MOSH PIT! Hee hee.....
