    a teamarchie f. y. i…………………. please read,
    and let’s roll up our sleeves and help them out!
    =============================================

    Teamarchie is working at a new site (http://teamarchie.weebly.com/forum.html)
    and is still in need of help with the gifting of CFTH. They need sponsors who will buy
    and send the CDs to folks requesting (most likely International fans) or also the
    MP3 versions, etc. Here’s a blurb from them:

    “Our gifting is heavily supported by people who sponsor albums to giftees. If you
    would like to participate in this program, please leave your email address and the
    maximum number of cds you are willing to send, and in what format
    (physical, itunes, mp3).

    We will then email you the information for the giftees: their name, address, email,
    etc and you will take over and send the gift directly to them. I will email you specific
    directions/advice for sponsorship as well, so you will be properly directed in how to
    fulfill this important role.

    We are in heavy need for more sponsors for physical gifts. Thank you for your support!”

Cooking the couscous tonight made me think about trying to make risotto and polenta. Haven’t done those my entire life. Although I know there’s instant polenta. Don’t know if there’s instant risotto though.

  50. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Candy~You know about my Archie cat right?? I have a year and 1/2 old Maine Coon named Archie.. ;) He is just a wonderful little cat, well not so little anymore!

  62. margeBTBDX2 says:

    David is listed as an in studio performance on the today show. Passes are on a first come basis. I registerd quite some time ago but have not heard anything yet. Usually the passes are available about 2 weeks before the performance.

  63. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Hi Patty-another day closer to the SLC show!!

  64. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    Jana: She’s SandyBeaches on TDK. I think I’ve seen her posts over there. The only reason I know where she’s from is that it’s on her PayPal payment.

  65. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    marge oh you are a peach! hmm will look for that link… thanks!!!

  66. RJ says:

    Candy…C’mon. Please don’t tell me that you don’t know you have to let meat rest before cutting into it. You’re a talented cook yourself.

    Joanie…Hmmm, move to Murray and be your personal cook and have “accidental” encounters. Hmmm….

    GG…Layoffs? Are some coming from your group? I remember a few months ago, you were stressed about having to deliver bad news to some of your team members. Such are the times…

  67. RJ, funny ou shoild mentin risotto! I havenever made it, but I put it on my shoppig list the other day beause I am determined to try it. It alwas looks SO good when I see someone make it on the food network! Ha! RJ…instant risotto is sort of an oxymoron, wouddn’t you say? LOL Actually, I kind of don’t like anything “instant” like oatmeal, rice, pudding…

    Jana…I knew we’d have a big crowd, but 60 is amazing! This is going to be so fun!

  68. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    62-Hi margeBTBDX2-I hope they get back to you and you get the passes. NYC is so exciting this time of the year, add in David and the excitement goes through the roof!

  70. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    Joanie..treat yourself and cook up a risotto..it is great, and fun to do and yummy!

  71. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    RJ-I know about letting meat rest, most men I know would be tucking it in bed with a pillow if they had to “let the meat rest.”

  72. RJ says:

    Jana…That’s what I want to try making…wild mushroom risotto. I know it’s time consuming but I think I’d rather spend the effort than get reheatable kind.

  73. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    JoyF: Sent you an email! We heard from Monica! Yay!

    Sorry, everyone! I don’t mean to ignore any of you! I love you all! It is just that I am multi tasking.

  75. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    haha, Candy!
    Hope everything works out, GG! (((Hugs)))

  76. RJ says:

    Candy….ROTFL! I know what you mean. One of my friends can’t understand the concept of “resting meat”. He wants to eat it immediately while it’s hot.

    Joanie…Well, with your arborio rice don’t forget chicken/ beef/ or vegetable stock.

  77. Patty (SLC VIP) says:

    64# Joanie…yep getting closer and closer lol :) I am so exited.

  78. Hi Patty!

    Hello Marge!! How are you tonight?

    Jana…oh yummy! Portabello risotto!

    RJ….hey, that’s what I call a win-win!! Oh man..looks like Freud was walking all over my keyboard in my last comment! LOL

  84. Spidey (Merry Christmas!!!) says:

    Hello everyone! :-D

    WOW!!!! I’m really liking the new site design! KUDOS TO THE PEOPLE WHO MANAGE THE SITE! :-D

  85. margeBTBDX2 says:

    Hi Candy,Kimk Joanie & everyone else.I hope you are all doing well. Not sure if i will get passes as they are limited. I think they allow 2 passes for each person that signs up. Knowing David’s popularity I can only imagine how many people have signed up. I happen to have the day off from work & it is just a great time of year to spend the day in NYC.

  86. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    awesome JoyF! :D awww, get something to eat! You have worked very hard on this project.
    awwww, GG! Many prayers for you and all the employees

  87. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    78/ hi patty :smile:

    62/ good luck margeBTBDX2 – i hope you get those passes quickly – representing for the cp :smile:

  88. Patty, four days!! :grin:

    RJ I am fond of chicken stock…even for beef or pork dishes. I just like the flavor of it, and am not really that fond of beef stock. I usebeef stock abot one timeto eery 20 tis with chicken stock. I make a ovely fish chowder anduse chickn stock, but also use clamato juice and the juice from the clams. Oh boy…why m I getting hungry? I had that lovely BLT earlier!!

    Jana, I am getting it at the store this week, And I am going to make it for sure!

  89. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    if its the show set and he follows Ave Maria with PAP, we might as well cash in our life insurance policies. We wont be needing them after that!

  90. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    84~Candy??? How di ya get that list..was it posted somewhere.? WYSYLM?? I would die.

  91. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    87/ thanks – i try to stay ”prayed up”, everyday :smile:

  92. Marge, I hope you can get those passes! That would be so much fun!!

  93. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    85/ whassup spideyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :smile:

  94. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    #83 GG: I emailed the young lady who trained me at my last job and got an automatic response saying that she no longer worked for the company. That was a shocker! Then Mary, our supervisor, emailed me and told me how awful it was to have had to let her go. The real stinker of the thing is that they are related, so it made it that much tougher. There are now 2 people doing the work that 4 used to do.

    God bless her heart..she tried to get me back into the office until someone new could be trained as Purchaser, but things are just too slow right now.

  95. LLALaurie says:

    Hi Everyone!

    Candy~I just saw that list of possible songs for Ann Arbor too. Oh my freakin’ heck! I think you’re right about the life insurance policies…hubby might be a little too happy to hear that! LOL!!!! Did I see somewhere that you might be going to Ann Arbor?

  96. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    91/Jana-looks like it was posted by the Ann Arbor Symphony people… like I said IF this is the set list, we wont need life insurance anymore..we’ll all be goners!

  97. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    Candy: When You Say You Love Me???? I’d crawl over molten rock to hear David sing that live. I wanna go to Ann Harbor! Waaaaaaa

  98. RJ says:

    GG… :( about the layoff :) about you finding out what’s right for you

    Candy… No need to cash my life insurance yet. No “What Child is This”, so I’m still good.

  99. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    96/Hi Laurie-you are going to dieeeeeee …what a set list!! Im toying with going to AA, not sure I can workout the time away though.

  100. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    I have NEVER hear David sing WYSYLM live. That would be my #1 sentimental all time Fave. he just owns it! (in my little opinion anyway;) I have to say I am so excited to see the direction he chooses to go in over the next 5 years or so..and support and trust his decisions 100%. But WYSYLM is such a sentimental favorite because when I saw him (YOU TUBE) sing that after a couple AI concerts..it was either the Staple Center or Portland..I just understood his greatness so much better. he wasn’t just a young kid w/a fantastic voice. He was more…

  101. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    eeeeeeeeeek!!

    Snarky’s thought maybe
    WHEN YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME AT ANN ARBOR!!!!!!

    http://www.snarkyarchies.com/

    looking for a plane ticket……..

  102. LLALaurie says:

    Love, love, love the new Christmas design of the website…puts me in a happy, Christmasy, Davidy mood! lol

  103. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    The Riddle???

  104. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    101-Jana-I would love to see WYSYLM on the next cd, no one does it like David, another one of his masterpieces!

  105. Patty (SLC VIP) says:

    88 Hi GG how are you doing today :)
    89 Joanie Counting down lol :)
    Hi DFT we will a lot FOD in the Branch lol, I am so excited to meet all of the FOD. :)

  106. LLALaurie says:

    kimk~Yeah, what the heck is that? Going to google it…brb

  107. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    anybody know what airport??

  108. RJ says:

    What the heck is “The Riddle”?

  109. Jana…thanks for that recpe! I’m going to make it for sure!!

    Patty…I am so excited to meet you and so many other people!!

    Yo LLALaurie..you crazy woman!

    Oh my….I hope we gt to hear David sng WYSYLM is SLC wearing something other than that bulletproof suit from th AI tour! Wow, that would be the frosting on the cupcake!

  110. Spidey (Merry Christmas!!!) says:

    Hello GG!!!! :-D I hope all is well. The site looks really cool. Just watched David’s vlog and the only thing that reminded me on one of their cats whose name is “Katsu” is Japanese food – Pork Katsu/Katsudon… LOL :lol: hahaha

  111. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    103/Laurie the site does look festive, doesnt it. I love it! So bright and cheerful.

  112. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    RJ eeeek! have no idea??!!

  113. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    #101 Jana: You took the words right outta my mouth. :D

  114. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    The Riddle is a song by Five For Fighting..I think. Excellent lyrics. One of those message songs that David loves. :D

  115. margeBTBDX2 says:

    Oh I just love WYSYLM. My favorite forever. When David called me in the hospital that’s what i remmember telling him was how much i love that song. I hope he sings it.

  116. RJ says:

    I get it now…THE RIDDLE is when David asks a riddle and whoever answers correctly gets to go on stage, sit on stool while David serenades her with WYSYLM. ;)

  117. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Joanie-WYSYLM-The frosting on the cupcake, the cats meow, the whole enchilida…I pray for video.

  118. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    Yes, Patty! We will be lots at SLC! Can’t wait! Getting very excited!
    yay, I am going to Ann Arbor.

  119. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    #106 Patty: I don’t have your name on my list…do you go by another?

  120. LLALaurie says:

    Looks like there are two songs called The Riddle. One is by Five for Fighting which I now recognize and I could totally hear David sing and possibly play on the piano. The other is by some GIGI’AGOSTINO, something about Babylon and wise men, so it could be either. Very interesting…..

  121. Valerie says:

    From the other thread…349/GG and 345/Candy~ Well, this VIP is the only time I’ll see David in my entire life. It’s my only chance to tell him what I’m seeing from the outside. And I know how to tread lightly when I have to. That’s why I’d be doing it in writing. :) GG, you said to weight the costs vs the benefits. To me, the benefit would be that David might see a bit more of the bigger picture and be able to make choices based on that. The cost could be that he’d hate me forever, but I’d rather have that than watch him unknowingly step into traffic. What other costs are you thinking of?

  122. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    DTW, I think Kimk!

  123. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    116/margeBTBDX2 -I can sure understand why that songs has such special meaning for you.

  124. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    11 hour ride or $400 plane
    :(

  125. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    95/ ummm, ummm, ummm… that bites… it really does… i’ve found myself distancing
    myself emotionally from many associates at work, because there is a real possibility
    i will have to do just that to them… that’s one reason i like working at home some days…

  126. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    117~RJ..in my dreams :)

  127. Spidey (Merry Christmas!!!) says:

    When You Say You Love Me, Waiting for Yesterday & Ave Maria on orchestra!!!!! :shock: You have to promise to take ultra hi-def videos, ok…. ;-)

  128. LLALaurie says:

    Joanie~Hey baby! What’s shakin’?

    RJ~ROTFL!! Yeah, right! And I’m sure I’ll be the one he calls on and gets to go on stage and be serenaded by him! In my dreams!!

  129. Patty (SLC VIP) says:

    120 JoyF…..you are funny girl to many to keep in track with different names lol. My really name is….Claudia J :)

  130. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    Hi Marge! How are you?

  131. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    JoyF I am actualy tearing up hear thinking about David possibly singing that.. I must tell Julie..lol

  132. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    #130 Patty: OH! Hi Claudia J! Now I see you on my list! Yes..it does get confusing! :lol:

  133. LLALaurie says:

    DFT~Hey! Did I see you are going to Ann Arbor? Oh my heck, please tell me you are! I will get to meet you!

  134. RJ says:

    OK…now I find this interesting…I don’t know if there’s a connection or not so you decide based on Richard’s history…Wasn’t Richard tweeting about riddles last night? Hmmm…

    What is it that you should definitely keep, even after you have given it to someone else?

    As I went across the bridge, I met a man with a load of wood which was neither straight nor crooked. What kind of wood was it?

    In 1990, a person was 15 years old. In 1995, this same person was 10 years old. How was this possible?

    A plane crashed and every single person on board died… yet there were survivors. Explain how…

  135. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    Hi LLA Laurie! Yes, I am going to Ann Arbor! I can just cry now! I am so excited! I just made the decision last night. squeeeeeee, Can’t wait to meet you!

  136. margeBTBDX2 says:

    Yes Candy I will never forget that song. He just sings it with passion way beyond his years. Truthfully I enjoy anything he sings but that would be just the frosting on the cake.

  137. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    Jana: He doesn’t usually change the set list from venue to venue, so maybe..just maybe we’ll get to hear WYSYLM live!

  138. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    Oh, yes, RJ! Richard was sending riddles. haha

  139. LLALaurie says:

    Jana~Are you talking about WYSYLM? I watched the Tulsa video last night and watched him get so emotional and of course, I bawled! Something about that song and his voice just suck me right in.

    Marge~David called you in hospital? I vaguely remember hearing something about that…would you mind telling me the story?

  140. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    The Riddle

    digi d’aostino

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPf-qed89tU

  141. H Spidey!! Hi kimk!

    Marge, I love WYSYLM! Awww, I am so glad David was able to talk to you while you were in te hospital! He is so caring and so considerate and his music has sch a healing quality! I hope he sings it too!!

    RJ, only f he wants someoneto faint right on stage! LOL

    Candy, come to SLC, and if he sings it, you’ll be here with me to hear it!!

  142. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    Yes Richard was sending HARD riddles, late at night when my brain was full of mush! Then he didn’t give us all the answers!! lol

  143. RJ says:

    I think tomorrow I’ll go and get a business license to provide funeral services. Seems like it’s going to be a lucrative business in the next few days. :lol:

  144. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    The Tulsa WYSYLM is the one that literally tears my heart out, the emotion, the tears,

  145. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    lol RJ! Should I make my reservation. haha

  146. LLALaurie says:

    DFT~GET OUT!!!!!!! You made a great decision!!! I can’t wait to meet you as well!! Joy and I are going together, and possibly Holly. Val, Pam, Andrea, Gloria are some others I know who are going. We are staying at the Four Points Sheraton and going to Panera Bread before the show to meet up with other FOD’ers. Have you made your arrangements yet? I’m so excited!!!

    RJ~Do you think Richard was hinting about “The Riddle”? LOL He is such a sly fox!!!!

  147. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    RJ-I think youre right!!

  148. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    Candy~Tulsa and SLC! And of the earlier ones..the Staple Center and the Portland one is quite good :)

  149. Patty (SLC VIP) says:

    JoyF…Did you know what time we need to be in the avenue? Are we post having an email to tell us what time all start? Sorry for my question since this is my first VIP lol so I really want me sure I don’t get late. So I can plan what time is the best time to leave work. :)

  150. 134 LLALauie Um…my thighs :shock: after walking on my treadmill after being sick for so long! LOL My muscles were screaming!

    135 RJ…oh, good catch!! I think you’re on to something!

  151. LLALaurie says:

    Candy~You didn’t answer me…are you going to Ann Arbor? Please?!!! I would love for you to come!

  152. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Riddle-Five for Fighting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgNPGBp4Ygg

  153. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    whoaaaaa I am loving FFF’s version of the Riddle; praying David does this!

  154. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    so how do I get myself to Ann Arbor and still have the other half when I get back….
    urgh I WANT TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  155. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    LLA Laurie! Woot Woot! Yes, I have my flight, hotel, and ticket for the concert. I am going to go to Panera Bread also. Marciami is going to take me. Can’t wait to meet you all! Donna and Nancy(Muldur) are going also. Don’t know if they can join us at Panera though.

  156. LLALaurie says:

    Joanie~Why don’t you come to AA too? We can make it like AC all over again! haha No watching me walk into the men’s bathroom and not saying anything though! lol!!!

  157. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    140~Laurie..that song means so much to all of us and to David’s career too. My goodness If I could hear him sing that live!!

  158. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    #151 Patty: You should have received your itinerary from ILAA already. Think everyone else has.

    We need to be there at 3:30 sharp! Print out your confirmation you got when you purchased the VIP and make sure you take it with you.

    You might want to call ILAA tomorrow and ask about your itinerary.

  159. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Pat a Pan is on the list……

  160. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    eeeeek!!!!

    Riu Riu Chiu!!!!!!!!!!!!

  161. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    153/Laurie-I did get back to you, you must have missed it. I would love to go to AA, am toying with going, not sure I can workout the time away.

  162. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    122/ hi valerie…

    my suggestion would be to make sure you are coming from a
    clear eyed, unemotional, objective place before making your decision…
    actions taken or made in the heat of anger or passion usually never
    bring about the desired result… that’s the one thing i have learned from
    hard and some very painful experience… there are other people those same
    issues could be addressed to – would that be the first / best avenue to take…
    are you sure you want to assume responsibility for as you say, keeping him from
    ‘’stepping unknowingly into traffic”… that’s assuming a lot of responsibility…
    david’s an adult, i’m going to treat him as such, and respect him enough to make those kind of decisions..
    i share many of the same concerns, deeply… but ultimately, it is he who is the captain of his ship…

    think long, think hard, think objectively. that’s all i got…

  163. margeBTBDX2 says:

    Hi LLALAURIE Last year David posted a blog that said to watch the stand up 2 cancer show. The show gave guidelines for routine screening. I was over 50 & never had a colonoscopy. I went and found out that I had cancer. I had no symptoms. When David learned about what happened he called me after my surgery & when I was recoveringPecan Pie & Stand up to cancer arranged for me & my family to meet David. It was really special.

  164. RJ says:

    #146 DFT…Basic or Deluxe package? :lol:

  165. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    haha, LLA Laurie! So funny! That picture!

  166. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Laurie walking into the men’s bathroom?

  167. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    144/ rotflmbo rj – now that’s a real possibility :)

  168. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Deluxe…..
    covered in angel wings……

  169. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Im not sure how accurate that set list is, I wouldnt throw all my eggs in one basket based on that.

  170. saipanda says:

    hey everyone
    long time lurker here but first time poster so i’m a bit nervous doing this
    just wanted to ask, did david made it on the celeb gone good list?

  171. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    hi lllaurie :)

  172. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    RJ: Deluxe, please! :lol: That way I can fit my David albums etc. Need David to sing at the funeral. My request!

  173. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    172/ hi and welcome saipanda :) nope, he didn’t make the list – this time…. :)

  174. margeBTBDX2 says:

    AWE Candy I like that det list.

  175. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    ROTF-Poor Laurie..what an AC experience that was…the Mens room in a Casino!!

  176. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    Hi Saipanda! Welcome out of lurkdom.

  177. margeBTBDX2 says:

    set list sorry i’m getting tired

  178. RJ says:

    #174 DFT….Oh, you want the “Superstar” package!

  179. LLALaurie says:

    Marge~Now I remember that story. Were you in AC? I think I may have met you or someone mentioned your name to me and told me your story. So you are doing well now? Did they catch in time?

  180. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    margeBTBDX2-I dont see Oh Holy Night on there, and that is a song the AA Symphony has been tweeting about. So it makes me wonder…but the list had to come from somewhere, it is posted on the AA Program setlist.

  181. saipanda says:

    Aw, maybe next year?
    Thanks a lot GG!

  182. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    RJ: Awesome! Works for me! Maybe the “Works for me” Package would work best! The all inclusive package! Lol

  183. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    180/RJ-LOL-The Superstar package… Oh that made me howl!!

  184. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Valerie I know you are concerned… for me I have a feeing he will be fine? even if he isn’t #1?
    and GG always seems to be one smart cookie

  185. margeBTBDX2 says:

    I was in AC. It was fun. I am doing well. So far so good.I just had my 1yr anniversary.

  186. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Candy yes I remember seeing O Holy Night and something about horns?

  187. Laurie, I’d love to come to AA with you! Haha…I couldn’t say anything to you as you walked right into the mens room like you belonged there because I was too busy filming it..and laughing my head off! LOL Is there a Carmine’s in AA??

  188. Patty (SLC VIP) says:

    160# Thanks JoyF … The problem is my friend brought the tickets so she should get the email. The problem is that this time of the year at my work gets very crazy. :)

  189. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Marge oh that is wonderful!!

  190. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    margeBTBDX2-you look fabulous!! In AC I was so happy to meet you, and was amazed at how wonderful you looked.

  191. saipanda says:

    hello david from texas!
    i’m actually laughing at myself for being so nervous about posting…i’ve never done something like this before

  192. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    saipanda welcome! I don’t think so?

  193. margeBTBDX2 says:

    You are right Candy. I wouldn’t mind if he added OHN. Maybe he will mix it up a bit from night to night depending on how his voice is doing. He did say that these songs are a challenge.

  194. http://twitpic.com/q6×5s Laurie thinks she is in the right place at the right time!

  195. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    saipanda no don’t be nervous and hello!

  196. LLALaurie says:

    Candy~Ooops! Sorry I missed your post. I don’t think you need to toy with the idea, just do it! I wouldn’t want you to be upset if you missed it. I can’t have my good friend upset (esp. since you’re a Jersey girl…never know what you might do) lol Awwwwwe, come on Candy! You only live once and you won’t be living much longer if you go, so at least you’ll go happy! haha

    kimk~Oh yeah, the men’s bathroom…and they all watched me walk right in and didn’t say a word. They just laughed and laughed and laughed. Good friends, huh? lol

    Hi GG! What’s up my friend? What show/shows are you going to?

    Joanie~I take it you are feeling better? You must have had a bad virus…too much Tiramisu maybe? lol

  197. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    183/ that’s what i’m banking on saipanda . :)

    186/ i ain’t that smart – i just try to pay forward a lot of lessons learned
    and wisdom acquired from living life… been told i think too much, and that
    may be true, hahah, but like david, it ”works for me” :)

  198. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    Don’t be nervous, Saipanda! Join in the conversation! It is fun! Everyone here is so nice!
    Awesome Marge!

  199. Jana~♬"Christmas from the Heart"♥♥♥ says:

    Is it the Ann Arbor Symphony that will be playing w/him or what?/

    Also in Utah there is a scaled down orchestra right..does anyone know?

  200. Hello saipanda! No reason to be nervous! :smile:

  201. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Laurie yikes!!!!
    oh no better watch out for Baltimore!
    lol though……

  202. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    198/Laurie-Like the song says “Thats What Friends Are For…in good times..in the mens room…

  203. Jana, yes, we get an orchestra in SLC!!

  204. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    198/ hi llalaurie – going to baltimore – v i p style, hahaha… :)

  205. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    WAIT A MINUTE HERE!!
    does this mean he will do WYSYLM the whole tour????

    eeep…………..

  206. Valerie says:

    GG-164/ OK, I will. Think hard, that is.

  207. margeBTBDX2 says:

    Candy you are too kind. I appreciate the compliment. You look pretty good yourself. It was very nice to meet you as well. It’s nice to be able to put a face to a name.

  208. Laurie, I am feeling much better thanks! But…now you mention it, I think it was too LITTLT tiramisu that was my problem! Oh, it was an awful virus!! Whatever it was. BTW, that photo is jiggly because I was laughing so hard as I took it! LOL

  209. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Im sure David already has a zillion tweets about the setlist…no wonder he doesnt tweet from the web much, from his phone he cant see all the tweet responses.

  210. margeBTBDX2 says:

    I hope you all have a good night. Work comes early! Nice talking to you

  211. LLALaurie says:

    Hi Saipanda! Welcome and please don’t be nervous. We are a pretty cool bunch…just join right in!

    Joanie~Yeah, thanks for heads up about the bathroom…I appreciate it! Glad to know that no one had my back and tried to tell me. haha I had such a great time in AC! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time…I’m so glad I finally made it.

    Marge~Glad to hear you are doing well. David has a healing spirit about him. He came into your life at just the right time.

  212. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

  220. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Im guessing the AA Orchestra has been practicng songs, so the set list would make sense. David already knows the songs!

  221. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    GG!!! Just read on twitter CFTH is #58????????

  224. Valerie says:

    kimk- 186/ Thanks for the post. I missed it earlier. I love this new format, but I think it’s easier now to miss ppl’s posts. It took me 5 minutes just to find my own…

  225. LLALaurie says:

    Night Marge…nice to talk to you and hear your story! Sweet dreams!

    kimk and GG~Watch where you are going at all times in Baltimore…your friends may lead you in the wrong direction and you never know where you’ll end up! lol

    Joanie~I thought you said “I” was “Jiggly”! Haha Well, not haha, cuz it’s true! haha

    Saipanda~Are you going to any Christmas shows?

    Candy~LOL “That’s What Friends Are For”!!!! Are you kidding me? More like “That’s What Friends Aren’t For” !!!!! Haha

  226. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    215/ ahhh, such is the dilemna, hahahah… balancing the sensitive heart with the hard head :) …. i’ll go with the heart on those things that really matter, every time :)

  227. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

  237. Silly Laurie///Not YOU! The photo was jiggly because I was rolling on the floor laughing while filming you calmly stroll into the mens room! Now, tell the truth…no one led you in there….you were just….confused! LOL

  238. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    Joanie~Oh, the infamous button trick! I think I needed a larger button! Maybe some more Tiramisu would have been the key! lol

    Jana~I love the AWHHOH is on the list too. I love the ending!

  240. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    MJG-ROTF- Did I hear someone say TIRAMISU??????????????????? Glad something brought you out of hiding!

  248. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    Joanie- I sent all the picks to FOD, but I didnt send that one of Laurie…only because they wouldnt know what she was rubbing on that slot machine!

  249. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    244MJG-I can see the excitement in your eyes. LOL

  250. maryanne says:

  251. LLALaurie says:

    Hi MJG!!!!! Let the partay begin…MJG’s in da house!!!!! I know you’re tired girl, but thanks for hanging with us. I knew Tiramisu would bring one of you guys out of hiding…just like cheesecake does for Richard! lol We were just reminiscing about AC. I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that hard. Joy and I continued to laugh on our excursion to the airport. Joy had such a laughing fit on the plane cuz someone farted, that she lost her phone! Good times…good times!!! lol

  255. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    MJG-after watching the Kaleidoscope videos I know I wont be able to get enough!! NY is only a two hour drive! We can do it!

  256. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    LLALaurie- You made me laugh so hard! You are the best!

  257. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Laurie hmm thinking we need to turn the tides a tad… are you going to Baltimore?

    Valerie I think or hope the folks in the loop read the sites so perhaps they may know of certain concerns if there are any?
    hmm seems in the past issues were addressed when folks posted what they may felt needed to be looked into as well? at least I hope so! but all in all I am ok with the general scheme of things so far as it seems to fit David? I don’t really see him as the Hollywood type or the JoBros type and such? but who knows I certainly have no idea how even the radio air play is run or ha the dang VH1 stuff… geesh
    David sure deserves all the best though doesn’t he!

  258. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    253/Laurie-We laughed till the wee hours of the morning!! What a great time we had!

  259. saipanda: Good We’ll look forward to chatting with you more often!

    MJG: To tell you the truth, I was there and I wasn’t really sure what Laurie was …um…doing. LOL :shock:

    Laurie….that wasn’t you, was it? :roll:

  260. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    GG maybe they read 68 as 58?

    Hey Mary!!!

  261. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    223/ it’s number 70 on the itunes home chart – they track and rank pre orders, the real time feed doesn’t – don’t ask why, i dunno, hahah… still humming along :)

  262. maryanne says:

    GG, This is such great news!

  263. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    ROTF-Button Envy. OH Lordy the things we find funny, and our poor guys, they laugh right along with us!!

  264. LLALaurie says:

    Marciami~Hi! I still don’t know for sure about Holly. I thought Scott was gonna be there too, but not sure if he’ll get in on time since he is driving. I can’t wait to meet up with everyone! Thanks for arranging this. It’s funny that you picked Panera Bread, that’s where Joy and I go all the time for lunch. haha

    MJG~What? Button? Slot machine? Rubbing? I have no idea what you are talking about! lol (Thanks for not sending that pic in)

  265. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    262/ could be kimk :)

  266. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    Candy WYSYLM will take on a different meaning if he does it now…. yes bury me now
    superstar package I am in for…
    no sprinkle my ashes along the tour route….

  270. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    LLALaurie- I will save that picture for…………………hmmm a rainy day?

  271. GGdoorsfan (Bound for Baltimore!) says:

    264/ hi maryanne – david’s a pretty great guy, so it all good :)

    time to peel off, get ready to crash for a bit… will see all you lovely folks later – tee gee eye eff!! :)

  272. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

  275. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

  276. Goodnight GG! Another fun night on FOD!! Sleep well!

  277. maryanne says:

    HI GG, yeah I think he will do just fine! He is wise and knows what he is doing. I am not worried about him at all!

  278. maryanne says:

    Good night everyone! Happy dreams!

  279. LLALaurie says:

    maryanne~I’m not sure if David is singing that Five For Fighting song or if it’s another one from a diff. artist called Gigi D’Agostino. I’m hoping for the FFF one though…he could totally kill that song!

    Joanie~Button envy! ROTFL!!!!

    Candy~I’m sure people are wondering why this stuff is funny…ya just had to be there. Staying up all night was a blast too. Remember when Joanie fell asleep and I took pics of her and then tried to put that towel elephant on her lap? She woke up and busted me!

    kimk~I wish I was going to Baltimore. Just be aware of your surroundings is all I’m gonna say!

  280. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Nighty Night Maryanne

  281. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    LLALaurie –
    Panera was picked partly because the windows look out on Hill Auditorium – right there in front of us. I think Rebecca chose it.
    Who are you coming with if you don’t mind my asking and do you know anyone else? Maybe others are coming and don’t know about it too.

  282. Goodnight maryanne!

    Laurie, you came real close to getting busted, alright….a knuckle sandwich! LOL

    Haha, Laurie….you have world-class buttons!

  283. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    LLALaurie- I have that picture of Joanie too, I will save that one too!!!!

  284. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    Laurie-It was a def you had to be there thing. How else can you explain spending an hour talking about Tiramisu at 3:00 in the morning!

  285. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    Joanie- You are just crazy!!! “world class buttons”

    That weekend was just so incredible, so many memories, so many laughs!!!! And the roosters tried to keep up! They was great!

  286. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    MJG-speaking of pictures, you have the pic of the century.

  287. Uh oh MJG!! That’s what I was afraid of! LOL…what size cement shoes do you wear, anyway? :wink:

  288. LLALaurie says:

    Night GG & maryanne! Sweeeeeeet Dreams!!!

    MJG~Not only did you guys allow me to walk into the men’s bathroom, but now I’m being blackmailed with a picture of me and a button and a slot machine! Geesh, you guys are real keepers when it comes to the friend department! LOL!!

    Candy~#275 Where did you get that info and why is AA shorter I wonder?

  289. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    Candy- we talked about alot at 3:00 in the morning! I smile everytime I think about all of you!

  290. MJG…haha, the roosters “tried to keep up”! LOL Didnt they just hold our purses while we had fun?? Actually, they were great and had a good time, too! We had SUCH a good time at Carmine’s!

  291. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    290/Laurie- I think AA is a tiny bit shorter as it is actually the symphonys concert…David is their guest…the other shows we get David all to ourselves!

  292. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    Candy-I sent in all my pics to FOD. I will email “THE” photo to you and the gang tomorrow.

  293. MJG, it was great to meet Stina, too! She’s such a sweetheart, and such a great fan of David! And…she is a character!

  294. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    MJG- I will be sitting down when THE photo arrives. Only way to prevent heart failure and crashing to the floor! NY is def on my radar…

  295. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    Joanie-hahaha, I we taught you well!!!

    LLALaurie- Relax you would have to do something really bad to me for that picture to get posted! ;)

  296. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    295/Joanie- I LOVED Stina! So enjoyed her enthusiasm, what a trip she is.

  297. MJG, I look forward to getting that “artistic” photo! Such an interesting angle! Such great lighting! Oh! And…your buttons ain’t half bad either! :roll:

  298. MaryJersey Girl {Counting the days till Christmas Tour and seeing my FOD buds!} says:

    Joanie- I met Stina at the Newark show, we just kinda started talking and ended up out after the show with ummm a few people.

  299. LLALaurie says:

    marciami~I am driving to AA with Joy and possibly Holly if she comes. I think Peacesign Pam is coming and maybe Donna? That’s all I can think of.

    Joanie~Why thank you for saying that about my buttons! They’ve never been called that before! lol

    Candy~Oh, the things we do for Tiramisu!

    MJG~ah hah! Now Joanie is feeling the heat! Hey, btw, did you know before the rest of us that Mike wasn’t gonna be on the Christmas tour, you ninja?

  300. David From Texas (SLC on Tuesday, then Ann Arbor, then Baltimore, and Stroudsburg) says:

    Hello! I am here! lol

  301. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    299/ROTF-Joanie dear I do think you are having a serious case of button envy! Now you are envious of Marys buttons…

  302. Candy "David's singing, is his heart set to music" says:

    MJG’s lips are sealed!!

    No place like home for Archuleta
    By Linda East Brady (Standard-Examiner staff)

    Last Edit: 1 min 51 sec ago (Nov 19 2009 – 9:45pm)

    Nothing says Christmas like coming home. That’s where David Archuleta hopes he’ll be this year — where his heart is, in Murray, Utah.

    “In this business, if you get a little time off here and there, many people will stay out where they are working and just relax,” said Archuleta, who is currently in Los Angeles. “But I say if I have time off, even if it is just a few days, I try to get home.

    “I am not sure where I will be at Christmas. The tour schedule goes until right before Christmas, and the fact is, there isn’t really just one place I live right now. But I still call Utah home, and try to spend as much time as I can there.”

    At the very least, Archuleta will make it home during Thanksgiving week. He plays two shows at Abravanel Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday. He has played the venue before, once at an event for Sen, Orrin Hatch, and once, this past summer, for a pops concert.

    “It was so neat, because I got to sing with an orchestra and choir. That was amazing, because so many people are involved in something like that, in making the song come to life.”

    Going places

    Ogden producer and DK Studio proprietor Derek Keith has worked with Archuleta since he was 11. He most recently helped get demo and backing tracks ready for this Christmas album and tour.

    Keith built a studio for the Archuletas in their Murray house, where they recorded the recent holiday backing tracks and also the demos for shopping Archuleta to labels post-”American Idol.”

    Keith met the family by happenstance when he sold dad, Jeff Archuleta, a sound card on eBay and came to help them install the hardware. David was then 11, not yet having had his first brush with national fame on “Star Search.”

    “But his voice was already ridiculous,” said Keith. “Maybe even more amazing than it is now, because of the surprise factor. I remember that first day Jeff had him sing me a Christina Aguilera song and I was like, ‘What? Man, this kid will go places.’ And he has, of course. I remember how terribly shy David was back then. And there is still some of that in him, but he has come a long, long way.”

    Dean Kaelin, a renowned vocal coach who works out of Salt Lake City, started with Archuleta about the same time as when Keith encountered him. Kaelin not only works with singers on their performance chops, but also on technical issues. He said Archuleta already had a lot of innate style, but he was struggling with a paralyzed vocal chord when he first arrived, likely weakened from a viral infection.

    “We started working together when he was going to do ‘Star Search,’ ” said Kaelin. “The vocal chord paralysis has resolved itself for the most part, but it is interesting. I think that is why that David still has a sort a special quality to his voice, that teeny bit of breathiness. It is to his credit that it is not a handicap for him. He worked through it and it gives his voice a sweet, slightly airy quality that appeals to listeners.”

    Christmas time

    Archuleta said he chose to do a Christmas outing for his sophomore effort simply because he loves the season and the sounds associated with it.

    “I could definitely have gone more fun, more mainstream, more radio-friendly and all that, but that is not what I felt I wanted to do with this album,” said Archuleta. “The songs I am singing have a real reverence in them. I felt like I needed to really portray that. Give that to people — what Christmas means to me, the bigger picture. It was a way of giving back, for so much has been given to me in my life.”

    Said Kaelin: “We worked together again after his recent summer tour. The pop stuff is demanding on his voice. He has to be careful because when he is doing those tours with the screaming people, he naturally tends to push heavy and loud.

    “But this Christmas album demanded some very technical work — ‘Ave Maria,’ ‘O Holy Night’ — things he really had to sing out,” added Kaelin. “But I think his voice is sounding strong, and the Christmas program itself should be kind of nice — a gentler and prettier concert than the pop shows.”

    Most of the songs on the album are classics of the holiday, but Archuleta did pen a new number. It’s called “The Melodies of Christmas,” and the song addresses what such music means to him.

    “That song talks about the memories that Christmas songs seem to bring back,” he said. “This is the holiday that brings back the most memories. … Like, I remember sitting around the Christmas tree, singing those songs with family. I try to capture that mood.”

    Discovering writing

    There is no doubt that, though still in his teens, Archuleta has been able to tap into a world-class gift for interpretation. But lately, he has traveled far and wide to be mentored on crafting songs himself.

    “For me, I am just beginning to write, but it is so much fun — I love it,” Archuleta said, “As a singer, it is your job to get the message across for the songwriter. But as a songwriter, you are able to tell your own story.

    “Sometimes it is like journal writing, but out in the open. Some things I am like, ‘I can’t wait to share this.’ Other things are like, ‘Wow. Yikes! I am not sure I can share this with people.’ ”

    Archuleta was spending time in Los Angeles, and previously in New York, to work on his next project with several experienced songwriters.

    “That is the best way to learn it, to see how other people do things. I’ve found that everyone has their own way of doing things. You really learn a lot — and then figure out what works for you.”

    The major lesson learned? Not being afraid to take risks, said Archuleta.

    “I had to get where I was not afraid to look dumb,” he said, “That is the biggest thing, not thinking, ‘I don’t want to throw that out there, because someone else might think it is just dumb.’ You have to get over that. It’s been a great thing for me personally.”

  342. FG has 7 days to live says:

  358. FG says:

    Welllll…I guess it depends on if you have the $ and what the hubby would think….mine would commit me but yours seems much more reasonable….

  359. FG says:

    Archuleta returns to Utah for holiday concerts
    Music » Murray teen headlining Abravanel Hall concerts with Christmas songs.
    By David Burger

    The Salt Lake Tribune

    Updated: 11/19/2009 04:27:36 PM MST

    David Archuleta performs selections from his recently-released Christmas album at Abravanel Hall on Nov. 24 and Nov. 25. When David Archuleta performed in Utah for the first time after he finished second in the 2008 season of “American Idol,” the concert sold out.

    When he performed in Utah this past March, the concert sold out.

    So this November, tour organizers scheduled two concerts for Archuleta’s home state. The 18-year-old Murray pop singer will perform selections from his recently released “Christmas From the Heart.”

    “To call Los Angeles home — I could never do that,” Archuleta said in a Tribune interview. “I like Utah too much.”

    Archuleta is spending plenty of time in L.A. these days, writing songs for his second pop album, which his label hopes will be released in 2010. But Archuleta said that as much as he loves his fans to hear his music, he wants to make his sophomore effort count.

    “I just want my personality to come out,” he said. “I want this music to have some character — my character. I want my stories to be in here. I’m learning how to become a songwriter.”

    So far, besides Los Angeles, Archuleta has spent time in Nashville, working on his songwriting with a wide-ranging collection of collaborators, including Matt Squire (producer for Katy Perry, Taking Back Sunday, The Used), Victoria Horn (classical and opera producer), Daniel Bedingfield (brother of Natasha and writer of hit “Gotta Get Thru This”) and Kina Grannis (guitarist and singer-songwriter).

    In between, Archuleta is writing a memoir, tentatively titled Chords of Strength , a reference to the partial vocal paralysis he suffered in 2004 but has now fully recovered from.

    “It’s about what my life is, how I’ve gotten to this point today,” he said. “It’s my history of up to now. … It’s about trusting in myself and believing in myself.”

    Now that he is college-age, many people want to know if he is considering a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which he previously expressed interest in. “That’s a personal decision between me and the Lord,” he said. “I want to do what the Lord wants me to do.”

    For now, Archuleta is looking forward to reconnecting with Utah family, friends and fans. For his hometown concerts, he will perform holiday songs, as well as songs from his best-selling debut album “Crush,” and possibly even show off some of his newfound guitar-playing skills.

    Good morning! The other day I commented that I saw an article on Yahoo about the healthiest states to live in…the first was Vermont, the second Utah… I sent the article to my sister and said, here’s another good reason to move to Vermont (we have visited that state several times and it’s beautiful). I purposely avoided saying anything about Utah since my family thinks I’m nuts… So my sister sends me an email reply that is tagged: “blue skies, sunshine and Archuletta”…yeah, she spelled his name wrong, sigh…anyway, she says in the email, “hey sis, did you see Utah was the second healthiest?” No, sis, why would I notice that? You act like I’m obsessed with David Archuleta or something. Geesh! Family!

  408. EL says:

    a teamarchie heads up team, please read,

    and let’s roll up our sleeves and help them out!
    =============================================

    Teamarchie is working at a new site (http://teamarchie.weebly.com/forum.html)
    and is still in need of help with the gifting of CFTH. They need sponsors who will buy
    and send the CDs to folks requesting (most likely International fans) or also the
    MP3 versions, etc. Here’s a blurb from them:

    “Our gifting is heavily supported by people who sponsor albums to giftees. If you
    would like to participate in this program, please leave your email address and the
    maximum number of cds you are willing to send, and in what format
    (physical, itunes, mp3).

    We will then email you the information for the giftees: their name, address, email,
    etc and you will take over and send the gift directly to them. I will email you specific
    directions/advice for sponsorship as well, so you will be properly directed in how to
    fulfill this important role.

    We are in heavy need for more sponsors for physical gifts. Thank you for your support!”
