Monica has a thank you she wants to share with Kristin:
Thanks so much to Kristin for taking time out of her very busy schedule to sit down with me for this interview – it was a lot of fun. We are all so happy that you are coming out on tour again with David. He is lucky to have you, as are all of us! Thanks again!

INTERVIEW – KRISTIN – I Love All Access Tour Rep David Archuleta 2009
Okay so can you start by telling us a little bit about yourself and how you came to work for David?
I’ve been working in the music business off and on for many years and I moved back to Los Angeles last March. I was looking for a new job and a friend of mine that I used to work with in the music business suggested that I apply at I Love All Access because they were looking for a few people. I went back and forth via email for a couple months, went in for an interview – it took some time – about four months before they said they had a tour for me and it was for the David/ Demi Tour. It was right place right time and the right combination of experience for my background. I got very lucky.
Cool, so this is your first tour you’ve done with them then! Or was.
Yeah kind of still going! With a couple exceptions, it’s going to be many of the same crew I worked with all summer so it will be great to work with everyone again.
So can you describe your actual position with ILAA? Like is what you’re doing unique for this tour or do they have other people doing similar things for other tours?
Yeah there are other tour reps that do what I do for other artists. Every tour is different and it’s geared towards what the artist wants to do. For David he does two songs for the group and the meet and greet and the pictures. There was one tour rep that got to work with Fleetwood Mac and they did pictures on stage with Mick Fleetwood and a backstage tour for those that didn’t do the meet and greet. Every tour has something unique and special and each artist gets to collaborate with ILAA and their management and decide what they want to do and we bring that to the fans-which is really fun. So, there are no two ILAA tours that are exactly alike, everything is really geared towards the audience as well as what the artist wants.

If you are not on the list and will be attending, it is important to contact us right away! If you have not contacted us but will love to join us, contact us also.

~David From Texas
Can you walk us through a typical tour day from your perspective? Like all of the things you have to do?
Sure. It kind of depends if we’re doing an overnight drive. Sometimes we’ll have several shows in a row where we’ll drive overnight from one city to the next. If we’re doing an overnight, as soon as we get to the venue, I get up and start my day – ideally I start around 8 or 9am. The first thing I do is find my venue contact, which is usually an event manager or production manager, and do a walk through, see the space that they have planned for us and decide if it will work for us. There have been a few cases where I’ve had to change the room location; maybe the room is too far or too small. There are several factors I have to keep in mind – group size, room location, time line for the day, etc. Once I’ve seen our party area, I track down the box office contact and purchase the ILAA tickets. I try to get all the ticketing out of the way first thing in the morning while it’s quiet. After ticketing, I check in with the caterer and make sure they know where in our party space I want them to set up. I also reconfirm setup time and menu with them. By mid-day my assistants arrive and help me set up the room, decorating, making the goodie bags, etc. About 30 minutes prior to check in, I do a walk through with the assistants and local venue staff/security so everyone is on the same page. After that, I start check in. Usually, I start a little bit early if I can (up to 10 minutes early).
Wow so you do all those goodies bags on the day of?
Actually I usually work ahead. I really like to do things in advance, so normally, I will have my assistants make the goody bags for the next show. The reason is, you never know what’s going to happen. We had a couple of incidents on the last tour where we had a flat tire and got stuck in the middle of Texas on the way to a show and then there was another case where we were driving the morning of a show from Hartford to Wilkes-Barre and we got stuck-our hydraulic system broke down so it was really good that I’d done everything in advance! You just never know what’s going to happen and it’s always a good idea to work ahead just in case.
So what would you say is your favorite thing about the job and your least favorite thing about the job?
My favorite thing about the job and the thing I love about the music business (aside from my love of music) in general is that every show you go to – everybody is there to have a good time, everybody is happy and I love that. I love the energy of the groups who come in – they are so excited to meet David, it’s such a positive thing. The least favorite thing – that’s a hard one. I do love everything about the job but there are always challenges. I think sometimes if I’m in a venue and they don’t have a room for us that I like – that can be challenging. I can always find a way to make it work but I find it challenging when something is not meeting my expectations of what I would want for the group. Sometimes there are space constraints based on how a venue is built – they are not really built with meet and greet parties in mind so the answer is I have to get creative and do my best to work around any logistical challenges.
So since you worked in mostly arenas for the summer tour, and it looks like the winter tour will be different and smaller venues and also it’s a solo tour for David, would you say that’s going to be easier or harder? What’s different about it?
You know I think there’s going to be some things that are a lot easier. David is the headliner this time around so he will have the first sound check and not have to wait for another artist sound check to finish. That will definitely make life easier. I think for the smaller venues, we might run into a little more of the problem where maybe they don’t have a space, because it’s not an arena, they won’t have a giant VIP room or a club or a ballroom that we can use for a party. I have been working with the venues closely on creative alternatives for our party areas. That’s always fun to do, to get creative with the venues. Most of the venues I’ve talked to are really working hard to make sure we have everything we need and I know it’s going to be great.
So what would you say is your favorite tour memory so far?
I really loved the last day before the make up dates in Hershey, Pennsylvania – where we all went on stage for Zero Gravity and there were pranks too. Some of Demi’s band members got involved too and I think people got whipped creamed or shaving creamed and there was all sorts of things going on so that was really fun. Definitely one of my favorite memories.
Did you and the group have any tour rituals like before or after the show?
Not that I know of. The band and crew might but I’m kind of in my own world when I’m working at the show with the set up and break down of the ILAA party so if there is a ritual, I might just not be a part of it. I think the band does a little group gathering right before they get on stage.
Do you get to watch the shows every night?
I did for the Demi/David tour almost every night. I’m hoping I’ll be able to see the shows for the Christmas tour. Honestly it kind of depends on the timing. I think I will be able to because during the summer, I was usually totally finished with my load out by the time David was on stage. I might finish my load out during a song or two into his set but usually I did have a chance to go in and see at least part of the show. That was kind of fun because we’re such a small group, so it was kind of nice that we all got to be in there for that and be a part of that – that was fun.
So as far as work purposes, is your day pretty much over once you’re done cleaning up from the event – like you can actually relax and enjoy the show?
No. (laughs) No. I do go in and watch the show, and actually I like to do that and be a part of our team and be out there with everybody, but after that I have to go and my recaps for the office. I write a recap about how everything went, what people weren’t able to go, etc. After that, I have to do an itemization of my expenses for the show. If I have a good internet connection at the venue I also try to upload as many of the pictures as I can (I always try to get the pictures up as soon as possible). I also have to make sure my road cases are in the right place so they can get loaded on the truck. When you live on a tour bus, and have many shows in a row you are dependent on the venue for things like showers. Once I am finished with everything else, I try to find a shower with a lock on the door! I’m sure that sounds really strange but some of the arenas only have locker room style showers, and for obvious reasons, they are not as nice. By the end of the night, I’m usually looking for a shower. Then, once I’m finished, and the show is loaded out, I get back on the bus and go to bed. It’s probably close to 12am by that time.
Did you get to do any fun stuff on any days off this summer?
Well I had days without shows but I didn’t really have days off. That tour was very busy and David had some solo shows on our days off too. I think when I was in Seattle I Facebooked that I couldn’t see the Space Needle from my hotel room. I see the inside of lots of concert venues and hotel rooms! I hope because I’ve been able to finish the tour advance for most of the Christmas tour that I’ll be able to do some fun stuff on ‘days off’. On the last tour, I did go out here and there for lunch/ dinner, with some people from the tour – but I didn’t really do much beyond that. I think in Providence we all went out to dinner one night - I was able to do little things here and there. Being on the whole tour was fun so I can’t complain.
So what’s some of your favorite music?
I really truly like all kinds of music. In particular, I’ve always been a really big fan of hard rock. Some of my favorites are Seether, Shinedown, Switchfoot,Trapt and Rob Zombie but I also really like pop. Lately, I’ve really been into Taylor Swift, Muse, The Killers and Pink . So my taste in music really runs the gamut and depends on my mood. I really like top 40 – I listen to the radio a lot so I find myself flipping around to all different kinds of stations. The only thing I really don’t listen to is hard-core rap, everything else is wide open.
What other artists or bands have you worked with in the past?
I’ve worked mostly on the local level for local promoters who promote all types of artists. I started out many years ago as an assistant doing VIP ticketing for a woman who worked with artists like The Rolling Stones, but I’ve never gone on tour with them. I did work on Lollapalooza a few years back. I think it was the last full tour they did. Some of the bands on that tour were Audioslave, Incubus, Janes Addiction and Queens of the Stone Age – that was a fun tour. I also worked for an artist management company for a while when I first got out of college. I’ve kind of done a variety of things within the music industry.
Anything more that you want to share about yourself? Where you’re originally from? Where you’ve lived?
I grew up in Northern California, Silicon Valley, and went to college at UC San Diego. I loved San Diego but got into the music business there and realized that if I really wanted to stay in music, I’d have to move to Los Angeles. So I lived in Los Angeles for awhile and then moved north and worked at Bill Graham Presents for many years in San Francisco-loved it there. After that, I moved back to LA and worked with what is now Live Nation LA. I moved abroad to the UK for a couple of years, lived on the East Coast for a couple of years and now I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. When I’m not on the road, I work locally as a runner and production assistant for the local promoter and arena. I also just got my substitute teaching credential so I am hoping to get some teaching work during my next stint at home.
Do you know how David came to ILAA – how that worked out?
David’s manager has worked with ILAA in the past with other bands including New Kids on the Block. I think it has something to do with that.
Fan questions:
What’s your favorite song from David’s album? (Trudy)
I still love Zero Gravity. I love the high energy songs-so still my favorite.
Does David sing all the time on the bus? (Nancy)
He sings a lot! He’s such a happy person so he does walk around singing a lot. I’m usually so busy that my path doesn’t cross his a lot so I imagine it’s more than I even see.
How does laundry get done on tour? (Vickie)
I personally like to go find a Laundromat. That is one of the things I’ll do on my days off. But sometimes you can bring laundry into the show and one of the jobs of the runners is to take crew laundry and do fluff and fold and then bring it back. I prefer to do it myself but once in a while I’ll do that.
What’s the most outrageous thing a fan has ever done in a VIP – have you ever had to step in and intervene? (Mary)
I’ve never had to step in and intervene. Most of the people who come to our events are really cool. Luckily I really can’t think of anything bad that happened on the tour. There are a lot of really good people that come to see David so we’re really lucky that way.
Can you relay a fan story in a VIP that you were personally touched by? (Debbie)
Well there was one little girl that I adored that I met in Seattle that was three. She knew all of David’s lyrics and she was the winner of the raffle to ask a question to David. She was so cute. She went up and it took a minute for her to start talking because she was a little shy but then she said, “Can I have a hug?” and it was really endearing. Then she said “I love you” and it was like awwwwwwww so I love stuff like that. That was adorable, one of my favorite moments.
Do you remember any particular funny moments from a VIP? (Kim)
They all kind of run together. For one thing he has a good sense of humor. I mean there were cool moments like when he met his first Alaskan fan and wanted to take a picture with them in addition to the picture we normally do. He’s like “Oh take a picture of us with my phone!” and then he twittered about it. I thought that was cool. Kind of a fun moment was in Lafayette and we had cookies and ice cream at the event from Hershey Cookie Company, and they did a David Archuleta face cookie for our party, he thought that was really cool. It was funny because he went and sampled all the cookies and then he left. But then he brought the young women from KSM in so that they could see his face cookie - that was kind of fun.
What is the most endearing thing about David? (Cate)
I don’t want to say something generic like that he is so nice but he is, he really really is! I think the most endearing thing is that he’s very patient and really listens to what people have to say.
What three words would you use to describe David? (Trudy)
Genuine, hardworking and upbeat.
Logistical questions:
Are there going to be gifts allowed during the VIP’s this time?
Yes they will be allowed but please keep them small and manageable. The only reason gifts were not allowed on the makeup dates and in Hershey, PA was because we didn’t have a bus to transport them.
Will the two song acoustic set still be happening?
It’s not acoustic but the two song set is still happening. We’ll be bringing people into the auditorium at the end of the sound check. It’s similar but it’s not the acoustic set that he did over the summer.
Is there still going to be food?
Yes there will be appetizers/ snacks and soft drinks.
Is there still going to be a Q&A session?
I think so. I think that everybody really liked it.
So overall would you say that these VIP’s will be similar to summer tour?
There will definitely be some similarities but I think there will be some differences logistically due to the fact that we’ll be in smaller venues.
Is it normal for other artists to have performances at the events?
We really gear every party toward what the artist wants and I feel like David does a lot and he does spend a lot of time and I think that’s the really fun thing about his parties.
So now I thought it would be good to just talk about any kind of do’s and don’ts that might be helpful to share – like for people who’ve never been to a VIP maybe and don’t know what to expect.
I think the one thing that kind of concerned me over the summer and the one thing that makes me nervous for the winter is that people line up so early. While I appreciate that people are very excited and enthusiastic, I get worried about people standing outside in either the scorching heat or the bitter cold. I would really like people to be cautious, please don’t stand out in subzero weather. I worry that people are going to get hypothermia (or in the summer heat stroke). I actually had an incident where a woman collapsed of heat stroke because she was outside waiting in the heat without shelter for too long. I do try to start early every day but can’t do much more than 10 or 15 minutes so please keep that in mind when you get your itineraries. If you get there and it’s really cold, please take shelter, go to a café, whatever and then come out like 10 or 15 minutes ahead of time at most. We try to make sure that everyone that comes to an I Love All Access has a great experience - you don’t need to line up hours ahead of time.
Anything else?
Well definitely with the gifts, I mean it’s wonderful that people are so thoughtful and there are so many wonderful gifts that they’ve been giving David. But definitely keep the size manageable. There is a finite amount of space so please keep that in mind.
One other thing is to bring in a valid photo ID. Some people are not sure exactly what that is – it’s a State ID, a State Driver’s License or a Passport.
Also the I Love All Access packages are non-transferable. Please beware of people trying to sell their packages to you on the internet. The policy is meant to protect the fans and the consumer from buying our packages at three times the price.
There will be no cameras or recording devices allowed at the events.
During the event, please stay with the group and do not wander around the house when we’re all inside.
I would love to hear ideas on pictures I can take for ILAA twitter 
Any final message for the fans?
I’m really looking forward to the Christmas tour, really excited. I’ll be seeing a lot of new faces but also a lot of people I’ve kind of gotten to know over the last few months - I think that’s going to be really fun. I’m happy that I get to work with David and his crew again – it’s going to be a really fun tour. I’m looking forward to seeing everybody!

=============================================
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!”

18/ hi candyyy
GG yes me trying to do something like that as well…
great ideas all the fans have!
14/GG-IN AC Kristin told the VIP that they could record and take pictures, Ray quickly rescinded that with a “not happening.”
Candy a small venue? and might still be ok not like AC? hope so for you!
So while Kristin is saying yes to small gifts, Ray may override the gift giving.
21/ hi kimk – there are three agencies i have picked – 2 in the city, and a national one… and we have an angel tree at work, so i most definitely will be participating and contributing… if it helps brighten some child’s christmas, my heart is happy
yikes don’t want Ray mad at me…
actually he seemed very nice in Greensboro.
kimk-how it worked in AC was, we met in the room, got gift bags, cookies, they brought David into the exact spot were photos were being taken, you had maybe 10 seconds to say hello, picture was snapped and he left immediately after photos were done. We were escorted to the soundcheck and back.
24/ hi candy…. that’s why i’m sticking to the charitable donation…
no muss, no fuss, and someone in need will be served

Hello
That was a great interview with Kristin from ILAA!
GG oh that is wonderful. yes I have a thing going as well. I did for the summer and before as well. did give a gift at Greensboro but didn’t do a return card or anything. he is such a nice young man.
ha hope he knows we aren’t supposed to bring gifts and think we don’t care….
Hey Candy! It just came in the mail five minutes ago!
Yo GG and Kimk!
What a day…my first day out and about since I got sick….and I made the most of it!
29/ you are brilliant rj, hahahahha [hugs] this is awesomely hilarious
ROTF-RJ that is EPIC. I am dying laughing!! Please sign me up for the SuperStar package. Oh my aching sides!!
Hey abms!
RJ, you crack me up! You are truly an entrepeneur!!
What a great interview with IAA’s Krisitn!
RJ!!!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Joanie-Glad it got there ok. How was your first day outside of the four walls?
1-800-OMY-HECK………
RJ ~ I better book my package stat! lol What a riot!
Finished reading interview! Wow! Awesome job!
haha, RJ! hehe! lol
RJ-I have to print that out, way too funny and creative to be lost in a thread later.
frogcooke RT @Mix1049: Listen MONDAY Morning @ 11:40 Stacey Kay will be chatting w/David Archuleta & shell have a chance win tix http://is.gd/500du
I am dialing 1-800-OMY-HECK now! hehe
34/ hi joanie – it’s good to hear you’re feeling much better today
33/ hi kimk – i think ray pretty much explained that david knows how deeply
the fans care for him, and that less gift giving in no way indicates lack of care or concern…
it’s a practical matter more than anything… because david feels obligated to go through them,
spending time that may be better used to rest, to sleep, so he can give us his best…
Hi everyone! How are you doing?
That is just too wonderful, RJ!
RJ, if a recap by you doesn’t come with the basic package, forget it! I’ll supersize my order! LOL
45/ hi abms
ADDENDUM: Cost of each package is negotiable depending on what is left in your bank account after concert ticket, VIP, hotel, airfare, and car rental expenses.
Joanie ~ Glad to hear you are feeling better. Are you going to the CD signing tomorrow?
Thanks, GG, I bought a pair of shoes….a sure sign I have almost recovered!!
Hey DFT! Did you finish everything for your class?
Hey GG!
hi everyone!
the latest itunes real time feed…………. the cd’s on the climb, woo hoo!!

good evening team – we have some christmas music requesting action to do on radio disney
========================================================
please go to radio disney at this link….
http://radio.disney.go.com/speak/request.html
1. click on the ‘new song’ tab in the ”request a song” pop up box

3. fill out the boxes that populate at the bottom of the request textbox with the required info…, and submit…
==========================================================
if i recall correctly, jive submitted 3 songs for radio play to the stations — ”joy to the world”,
the charice duet ”have yourself a merry little christmas”, and ”melodies of christmas”…. let’s
request these three first, see how that goes – start requesting these three team on disney!
good evening team – here is a link to the complete listing of all xm / sirius channels… please bookmark or save it to use in researching which stations are going to be playing christmas music – thanks team
http://www.xmradio.com/onxm/full-channel-listing.xmc?tier=XME
abms: Thanks so much! ♥ I am considering it….it should be wild there! I phoned them to ask if each person could have more than one cd signed….the poor thing said, “it depends on if we get a crowd”. Ha!! I told her they did not have any idea what they were in for. She said they were already getting that idea based on the number of phone calls they had received!! She also said David has a limited amount of time he can stay based on hs schedule, and so if there is too large a crowd he may not be able to get to everyone in line. There is a snowstorm blowing in for tomorrow, so that may keep people from lining up too early, so I’ll go and see what the lay of the land is….then decide whether to brave the crowds!!
a sirius radio checkpoint!
hello team!

Hey, Hey, Hey Jana, Whats Happening?, lol. I loved that show, What Happening! How are you?
RJ~You have outdone yourself! Kudos!
69/Yay Joanie- glad you are going to the cd signing! Oh they are in for a big ole shockeroo, “If the crowd doesnt get too big” are they serious, is there a person left in Utah that doesnt now about his popularity. Ha, well evidently one!
72 candy yeah sorry to disappear my computer wouldn’t load the new thread
JoyF: Just got email from someone who wants to join get together! Will email in a few! Wooot Wooot!
DFT, Thanks!! Oh, how much more til you’re finished?
GG, well, it’s just a basic black pump….nothing too wild! But…I tried on several pair of really adorable ones I would hve loved!
OH my heck, FAT ALBERT! Hey Hey Hey…one of my favs. How are ya doing Bethy?
Hi Jana- packed yet?
Hi GG! I’ve been wondering.. why did they decide to do the 76 piece orchestra thing at Ann Arbor. It just seems to me that if they’re going go to all that expense, Jive or David’s management team would record it for DVD. I mean..this is something VERY special..not your ordinary concert. Just something that’s been buggin’ me.
Beh!Just trying to get ready for my trip to Utah> So thrilled to see David again and meet the Utah peeps and all the fod PEOPLE FROM Around the world!! England GERMANY, Nova Scotia, Mexico!
Joanie???Snow???? NOOOOOO!!!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Deseret-Book/82837442532?ref=mf
90/JoyF-I hear ya Joy, I too would like to know the answer to that.
91/ hi j-j-j-j-j- jana!!
Candy!! HI!! I have been working all week trying to get stuff in order cause I’m taking a week off. I am in the process of packing now! Should be done by tomorrow evening. Will rest Sunday. Manicure Monday..hahah..then driving to Portland to Julies and we are flying to Utah early Tuesday morn,..and I do mean early..will definitely need a nap Tuesday early afternoon!
DFT and JoyF , just a LITTLE one tomorrow…next week still looks clear and sunny!! Fifty degrees for Wednesday…46 for Tuesday. And sunny! When are you flying in?
BETH!! I’ll come knock you out and drag you, kicking and screaming to Utah!
Hey Hey Jana! Wait, isn’t that a song??
Candy…the poor thing…she was getting the idea of what they are in for…her voice was starting to shake! LOL
Joanie: A few more research papers before SLC, but I know I can do them. Just need to push myself. If I disappear, that is where I will be.
Just sent it, JoyF! Thanks! You are awesomeage!
Woot Woot, Joanie! Thanks! I am flying in on Tuesday!
Hey Candy! Fat Albert, hah. I was thinking Whats Happening! Dwayne always said Hello by saying Hey, Hey, Hey,lol. I loved fat albert too!ha,ha. I’m doing ok. My back is much better. whooops, forgot I’m going to go do a little exercising with my mom. I havent done any in a week, been pretty stationary, so I gotta go get the blood moving. I hope you are doing well. I’ll check back in a little while. Sorry to post & run, didnt notice what time it was.
Jana, Tell everyone in Utah that the Minnesota FOD’rs say hello, sorry I cant be there. Gotta go for just a bit, see ya shortly.
GG~ I was thinking about you today. I need some advice on how to get better radio play for David in the Eugene Portland area..He has plenty of fans here, that’s not the issue. I live in a college town and really haven’t had a lot of luck, except for a month or two of Crush. There is a station that plays a lot of Christmas music I want to get to them soon..but I want to be smart about it!! Huge audience over the holidays. This area just isn’t into pop that much.. Suggestions??
Joanie, Ok, sounds good. Freud offered to, but he isnt tall enough,lol. Ok really gotta go, be back soon.
90/ hi joy f – you know, the more i kinda think about it, the concert seems like it’s more a symphony concert, with the added treat of david as ‘’special guest”… symphonies have these kind of special shows all the time… from the way the v i p thing was originally handled through their org, etc, it just feels like that… which works for us, because it presents david to us and others in a setting that will be fabulous, with the backing of a full orchestra… so there may be a whole lotta details about putting the show on, promoting it, etc that are more in keeping with their policies… just my thoughts…
Hey Hey Joanie!!! How are ya?? I am so excited, tho kind of in a daze w/everything I have to do. It’s almost here!!!!!!
DFT okay good luck getting everything done!
squeeee, orchestra! THUD!!!
Yeah…I will keep you guys updated on the weather forecast. We can have snow in the moring and sun in the afternoon! I should be (relatively)warm and melt it all soon after it falls.
Oh, Beth… I SO wish you could come join us for the concert! See you later!!
Joanie Snowstorm….
hmm well then maybe there won’t be too many!
Thanks Archieluver! Good luck on all of your HW also!
LOVE KRISTIN!!! SHE DOES A GREAT JOB!!..
101/ hi there beth
100/ hi jana – try contacting the station to make an inquiry regarding when they will begin playing christmas music… inquire politely if they have received the full cd, or the songs jive sent for play consideration… ask them what their policies are regarding requesting christmas music… that i think is a good approach… let them guide you in the best way to go about requesting the songs, and take it from there….
Beth Will do!!! Will represent for the Minnesota fans..I’ll say..”BETH made me!!” haha
109/ party in the house – hi hector/spector/dexter!!!
110~GG Thanks. Points taken. Should I offer to provide a CD>>?
Hector! Are you going to make it to a concert??
JoyF: Another email going your way!
113/ hi jana – wait to see what their response is to having it, or the 3 songs jive sent for consideration… if they’ve received it – cool. if not, then make the offer to provide them a copy
Hey Hector!! Nice to see you here!
Jana,I am doing so much better, thanks!! My first day out of the house today and I did lots of errands, went to an appointment, bought a pair of shoes… I think I am almos completely well!!
We are currently experiencing EXPECTED high volume of calls. Please stay on the line as your call is important to us. To facilitate your order, please have your current bank account statement ready. Gah, I’m a goner! Inc. Appreciates your patience and understanding.
Hi Hector-How’s things in your part of the world?
PARTAY!! hey GG!! ((hugs))
Jana- unfortanetly no.. I wont be attending..
oh well though.. im good… I bet there will be a next time!!
Joanie!! hey you!!.. nice to see ya too!
JoyF..The name tags are beautiful..you are going all out girl! Good grief!
119/RJ-How are you coming up with this stuff, its hilarious!
Beth…to tell you the truth, Freud is a little taller than I am!
this is why i respect ray, his policies for maintaining order, and for being as vigilant as he is in protecting david… this could very well have ended in a worse tragedy…

Girls Gone Wild at Justin Bieber Mall Signing
Posted Nov 20th 2009 5:28PM by TMZ Staff
Cops tell TMZ a young girl was hospitalized this afternoon after fans went crazy … anticipating the arrival of 15-year-old music star Justin Bieber at a Long Island mall.
Cops said the girl was taken out of the Roosevelt Field mall on a stretcher just moments ago.
Bieber never showed, because over 1,000 screaming girls showed up and mall security lost control of the crowd. One person was arrested.
Bieber posted the following message on his Twitter account, pleading with his fans to leave the mall:
“The event at roosevelt mall is cancelled. please go home. the police have already arrested one person from my camp. I dont want anyone hurt.”
The injured girl should be okay.
UPDATE: Employees at Abercrombie Kids tell TMZ someone in the mall falsely screamed out that Justin was inside their store, so a ton of kids rushed the place. The workers said a fight broke out in front of the store — and that it wasn’t the only fight that occurred.

.
119/ keep ‘em coming rj, keep em coming!!
RJ you are going to a show correct?
haha, RJ!
Oh, that is so sad, GG! Thanks Ray for a job well done!
Joanie! Look at this sunset Kurt Bestor just twitpic’d http://twitpic.com/qaicd SLC..
I just wanted to say that if there was any doubt as to my dislike for DingDong Demi, the fact I missed out on an acoustic two song VIP this summer will cement the deal. Yep, Im really disliking her!
CANDY! hey!! ive been good lately! my side of the world here always does fine with some David Archie music on all the time of course..
how have you been!?
119~RJ~ What is your policy on formaldehyde VS Cremation??
129/Jana-wow thats gorgeous!
okay I’m gonna go my computer is being
RJ…you’re gonna hit it big with this!
Joy, BTW…someone mentioned to me today that he had ordered 4 dozen Lion House rolls for his Thanksgiving dinner, and it reminded me to tell you they have the BEST rolls you’ve ever tasted!! I mean….they are G.O.O.D.!!
Hector, you’d better come next time!!
Jana…where are you seeing these name tags?
131/Hector-Im doing good, back is holding its own, Im looking forward to the Christmas tour and spending time with Fod buds and family during the holidays.
Jana, I saw that! Actually, I saw the real thing,too! LOL
Candy!! I will always have Crazy, Heaven and Mary Did You Know…Seattle VIP
Sorry don’t mean to rub it in.. I haven’t seen as many concerts as many so I hold this VIP very close to my heart. That and the Reno Works for me/My Hands..my favorite moments so far. I suspect I will be adding to those favorite moments, soon. If I can hear WYSYLM…that will be the end all!
128/ hi david from texas… just shows how quickly things can spiral out of control,
and how crowd control is so important for folks like bieber and david… young teenage
girls in an excited state can be hard to handle, and i must admit there have been
times i’ve feared for david in similar situations… ray’s a big dude, but a determined,
excited fan can take ya out, haha….
okay I’m gonna go my computer is being really difficult and I can barely post! I’ll come back 2morow if I can get it to work
formaldehyde
do they do that to fans….er folks…
Joanie, I suspected you did..lucky girl. All I see is a grey sky and rain…
140/ i hate to hear that archieluver – i hope you’re able to find and resolve
what’s causing the problem… we hope to see you – and daf4ever tomorrow – [hugs]
woops computer somehow managed to change the name by itself no DAF4E and I am out it is just causing to much trouble 2nite
I swear sometimes computers have a mind of their own
Joanie..JoyF is doing them.
141/ kimk – you so crazy, hee hee
125/ OMYGOSH.. that is crazy news!.. haha.. all for that little kid..please.. id probably go to that mall, wear my David Tshirt, and add to it.. “Cant top this.. EVER” .. hahaha..
GG idk what’s causing it seems to be getting a little better though it works fine then suddenly it freezes then fine again…. I just switched computers so maybe this one will work better
Jana…maybe you’d better come to Utah with a U Haul…full of all your possesions. Just in case you decide to stay! LOL
Evening everyone!I have a question about this set list that was mentioned. Is this the set list for all the concerts or just the Ann Arbor show?
Jana..good thing! It’s so hard to remember who is who…who is not who they’ve been posting as, and of course…once in a while we need to check our own name tag…just to make sure
yummy, Joanie! Lion House Rolls! mmmmm!
Hi GG! lol, true! I do think that most of David fans are respectful though and understand/follow what Ray asks of us. Wouldn’t want anything like that to happen to anyone. It is sad.
OMG I just read that account of what happened at that mall signing, no wonder we worry, especially when David travels alone. If anyone had any doubts as to why Ray is needed, that will answer their questions! I really, really wish David had a bodyguard and security when he travels.
Joanie!! haha.. I sure want to so bad!!.. Utah is on my list of travel!.. and I was hoping to go to this concert, but no luck…. had to help out parents financially.. and had to save up for school upcoming quarter..
BUT for sure am hoping next time around.. we shall all meet!!.. haha..
Candy! aww thats nice! I love the holidays.. family time is the best! hope you have a great holiday season!
Joanie~hahaha, I suspect this won’t be my only trip to Utah:) I would love to travel a bit this summer and you know who gives me the excuse..to sight see and attend a killer concert. This is so fun! I sent you a DM btw..
Hi Anne-Marie!
150-Hi Anne-Marie- so far it is just for AA, we will know a little more after SLC next week.
hello Ann-Marie!
Hector..You are a fine young man with you priorities where they should be. You parents must be very proud!!
Anne-Marie: I think it is part of the setlist for Ann Arbor only.
147/ that is scary crazy hector… cause think about the absolute frenzy david
has been known to evoke in these same type of teens… i don’t get the deal about bieber,
but i’m not a teen, hahahah… not trying to start nuthin, but he has nuthin on david – nuthin
148/ that’s progress archieluver
have you been wearing your pc out doing schoolwork, hahah 
150/ hi anne-marie… not sure… good question though
Hector…you will come to Utah for a concert one day! I just know you will!
Unlike other companies, Gah, I’m a goner! Inc. does not record your calls for quality purposes. Screams of OMGs, stuttering, and flailing WILL NOT help us improve our services.
Thanks Candy. I don’t understand that though. Why wouldn’t the set list be the same for each concert? I don’t want to be negative but I really hope that this concert isn’t going to have a longer set list than all the others. That just doesn’t seem right.
152/ i think so too – we are more respectful than most fans in our position…
RJ….oh man! You have been on one or two of “those” calls, I see !!
164/Anne-Marie-The AA show is scheduled to have a shorter set list then the rest of the solo tour as David is a guest of the Symphony.
BBS!
Candy- Oh ok! I didn’t realize. Thanks for clarifying that!
164/ i’m thinking the aa concert would perhaps have a different set list, and maybe be a little longer… it just feels like the concert is set up like one of those ‘’symphony performances, with special guest” deals, like orchestras do from time to time… those type of shows are unique in a lot of ways that a regular show aren’t… there is a full 76 piece orchestra backing him up there… from what i’ve gathered, the other shows will have maybe ‘’stripped down” orchestras or accompaniments… what is sung with a full orchestra in aa may not translate well with a stripped down one in another venue… the aa concert feels like a unique show, in the midst of the tour as a whole, so i’d kinda prepare for it to be different from the others…
167/ oh – the setlist is shorter in aa – thanks for that info candy
Oh thanks JANA that was very sweet of you… thanks..
GG- true.. bieber….dont get the kid either.. lol..but so true what your saying!..
Joanie… sure will! im confident in that happening too!
Hi GG! Thanks. I guess when I heard that the set list might include WYSYLM I got excited but then disappointed to find out that it may not be included at the other concerts.
163/ rotflmbo!
i’m dying here rj – you are hysterical!
173/ i know the feeling anne-marie… it would be a treat to hear wysylm again…..
lol RJ!
Anne-Marie: I am sure all the concerts will be super awesomeage!
Wonder what David will sing at VIP’s. hmmm
GG I read that earlier…
goodness and I think that is why David er Ray does a lot of things he does…
remember the stampede at Columbus and the craziness that ensued?
ha can’t even post the other video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VvtvgXQSl4
#124 Joanie, That would explain the 10 inch stiletto’s you’re always wearing,lol.
Hello Again Everyone!
RJ You’re just to much, just to much, ROTFLMBO!
GG beiber is like a young Justin Timberlake
yes for teen girls
he dances and all the stuff the youngens like…
DFT- Hi! I know! But what I wouldn’t give to hear WYSYLM again! That was my favorite song from the AI tour! I’m really looking forward to next week when get to hear about the first 2 concerts and the Kaleidescope show!
Joanie if you are going tomorrow hope you are feeling wonderful!!
Good Evening! (In my best Alfred Hitchcock impersonation!)
You here, Joanie?
Is Justin Beiber a Disney artist?
KIMK— omygosh that is ridiculous… Crazy indeed.. never seen that video….
kimk, I was just going to bring that Columbus episode up. That could’ve been a really bad situation. I hope people realize that Ray has a huge job, making sure that David, the band, the crew & the fans are all safe. Like its been said here a few times, it only takes one to cause minor to major trouble. So, we the fans, can help too by minding our p’s & q’s when at the VIP & concert.
Hi Pamtimmie! You must be getting excited about next week!
176/DFT-David wont be singing at the VIP’s, will be watching the soundcheck instead.
Anne-Marie: I haven’t heard it live yet! Can’t wait!
hmm he did not mention guitar….
Going through lyrics to the songs to
make sure I have them all memeorized…
Lol. Still have some work to do..
oh goodness only a few more days!!!
Oh DAVID!? guitar???
thanks!
OIC, Candy. hmmm.
oops
memorized not whatever the heck I posted…
Hi Anne-Marie! Oh, just a little bit!
186/One side note to only having Ray, it would take more then one person to handle an out of control crowd. i.e. the Columbus video posted above.
Ann-Marie— nope, just a 15 yr old singing/autotuned bout how he LOVES woman and his LOVE stories…. XD haha..
Thanks Becky, Jenny, and Fran for posting this reminder all day today! I really appreciate it! (((((hugs)))))
David from Texas has a message for Salt Lake City concert-goers!
Hello everyone!
The Christmas From The Heart Salt Lake City Get Together is almost here! Joy F will be sending out a list of confirmed attendees for the Brunch soon. If you are not on the list and will be attending, it is important to contact us right away! If you have not contacted us but will love to join us, contact us also. You can contact me at foddavidg@gmail.com . Joy F will be sending in the headcount to The Lion House on Saturday morning. This is the last chance to be added to the list! I can’t wait to meet you all! Thanks for everything!
Hector there is another one even crazier that happened posted on the side just couldn’t post it
because folks were swearing as they surrounded David’s limo. he was ok though.
the end of that video still scares the stuffins out of me! Wonder if Ray has seen it. A good situation gone bad!
Hector- Ha ha! Okay, thanks! I heard him being promoted on my radio station yesterday and was wondering who he was and where he came from.
the limo part was even worse, they were opening the doors, grabbing at David. it was frightening!
Hector that is about it really.
autotune or something similar is used now as an effect (needed or not ie Kelly Clarkson her latest) on top 40 and well he sings to the girls I guess what they think they want to hear….
ha sweet nothins….
Candy crazy wasn’t it.

203-HAHAHAHAHAHA. RJ, you’re killing me!! And not softly!
KimK….its just crazy the way some people tend to react….I can understand if your at a concert…other then that..there should be no reason for all out of control hoopla..imo
Not to be a jerk or anything, but one of the main reasons I purchased VIP tickets was because they advertised there would be 2 acoustic songs sung by David. Wouldnt they have checked this info before they listed what would be included in the VIP? I understand if its too much for Davids voice, especially being the headliner, singing more songs & thats fine, but they shouldnt’ve advertised it for the VIP’s for this tour. I’ve heard all the stories from people about the VIP’s & the acoustic songs & thats why I decided I just had to do it this time. Now, thats not going to happen. If I knew that going into it thats one thing, but I wish ILLAA would’ve checked on this or if they new, been honest with us. I’m not mad, just really frustrated. At the VIP, I would like to hear something I’m not going to hear at the concert. I’m sorry, I’m still excited to go to the VIP, its just not what I was expecting based on what they advertised. Let me be clear, if David isnt able to do it, that it’s too hard on his voice, I dont want him to sing extra for us, I want him to protect his voice first & foremost, just wish ILLAA verified this info. Sorry, I know Kristin is a sweetheart, not upset with her. Again, just frustrated. Maybe instead, we could just talk to him longer,lol. I think between all of the fans there we could think of something to talk about with him,lol. Protecting his voice is obviously the number 1 priority!!!!!!
Hi All -A bit of a change of subject… Has anyone tried searching “David Archuleta” on YouTube lately and then sorting (most recent, “today”, etc)? All I get is a few of David’s vids and then a slew of David COOK vids! This is really bothering me. We all spend tons of time voting/requesting/etc for David and then YT makes it look like David has fallen off the face of the planet. I’ve searched for a way to contact YT but can’t find anything useful. You guys are such amazing internet detectives I was wondering if anyone here can figure out what to do? Or am I over-reacting? (old X-files conspiracy theorist fan here thinking bad thoughts re: 19e and Cook…)
RJ— hahaha.. LMBO.. too funny..
GUYS!
@Mix1049
Listen MONDY Morning @ 11:40
Stacey Kay will be chatting with David Archuleta and
she’ll have a chance to win tickets….
http://twitter.com/Mix1049
Beth- Hi! Yes, I was under that impression too about the accoustic set. (that it was going to include the accoustic set.) I was very fortunate to have been able to go to the VIP’s this summer and the accoustic set was amazing.
RJ, You are on a roll tonight!
So any possibility of a cell cast for next week, in Utah or Ann Arbor???????
cadt I have been wondering about that and have no idea why either! urgh I couldn’t stand it this morning!
if you find out why let us know?
hmm…has someone put David’s name in all of them?
Beth- im pretty sure David will sing something else rather then just let you all hear the soundcheck….
Beth Jenny sent a tweet I think this morning asking for cellcasters for the tour!!!
)))))
RJ – thanks for all the fun and laughs tonight – you are so amazingly creative and hysterical and So True – I am feeling like I might need to make a call so I put the number on my cell
Hey Cadt, I saw that too. The last week or week & 1/2. I wonder why its happening. I type in David Archuleta NOT David. I wondered how to contact You Tube. Something goofy is going on here(nice way of saying something suspicious,lol). I’m going to keep trying to find out how to contact them.
Hey Anne-Marie! I’m glad you got to go, thats great.
206/Beth- You dont have to apologize to me, I feel the same. I have three VIP’s for the Christmas Tour and was thinking they would be in the M&G room as they had previously been. I understand completely what you are saying and feeling. Wonder why they changed it…I was told for the 3 rescheduled shows it was a time factor caused by Miss you know who…this is a solo tour, or maybe it changed to give Benton time to soundcheck. Im disappointed too but will live.
haha, RJ!
206 – Hi Beth! What? He’s not doing an acoustic set?
Hey Hector Spector Dexter! How the heck are ya? Dont get to talk to you very often! I hope you’re right, but I’ll be happy with whatever happens.
kimk, Thanks, hope it works out for some cell casts, especially Ann Arbor!
#212KIMK I was wondering about that, too but it seems to be across the board Cook vids not just certain users. I think there’s something way off with their search engine because the “related” vids for David don’t make any sense either. My big motive here is that I want to be able to find the posted YT vids for the xmas tour. Right now, it doesn’t even show the Kaleidescope vids when I search for David…
Oh, forgot to ask if these are non-denominational services – that may be another level package
Hello everyone. Happy Friday evening to you all.
Candy, I just dont like the fact that ILLAA advertised acoustic 2 song set. But like Hector said, maybe we will still hear something different, we just dont quite know yet. I guess we’ll get an idea next week.
Pt4d, Well, judging by what Kristin from ILLAA said in the interview at the top of the thread, we will be hearing something in soundcheck or right after it. Not sure what to expect, really.

Would this be of any use contacting, Cadt?
#206 Beth: I’m disappointed too, but when I read the package details on ILAA, it said “a private mini performance inside the theater” I suspected that it would be a sound check kind of thing.
During the summer tour, ILAA specifically said “acoustic.”
I guess one could also interpret what Kristin said as “He will do two different songs after soundcheck in the arena. Guess we’ll know soon.
Beth- hey you!! Im doing good! just waiting for the clock to strike 6:00 Pm to get off of work.. haha.. lol.. how have you been!? yeah David is awesomeMAN!.. lol.. i bet hell definitely sing to you guys a little acoustic.. he is the BOSS.. LOL..
Candy hmm not sure what was suggested in the VIP package as I don’t remember but just had a thought.
I remember David mentioning something about his voice holding out for the winter tour with all these
hard songs to sing maybe that is the reason they want to save his voice? just guessing though
maybe we can chose what we want to hear
like the one where he is playing the guitar
or
WYSYLM
I would rather skip having the picture with David and just have a minute to speak with him.
Candy- What shows are you going? Will you be in Cleveland?
How do we know it’s not an accoustic set?
Oh wait.. on the ILAA site it says, “private mini performance with David inside the theater.”
Hi FOD!
Thanks MONICA and KRISTIN for this great interview! KRISTIN, WE just LOVE YOU TO PIECES! YOU Are most definitely PERFECT FOR THIS JOB WITH DAVID AND ALL OF US!!! Thank you so much for all of your patience, effort, and Kindness!! Can’t wait to see you again in ST. Paul and Waukegan!!
And Thank you Monica for conducting a lovely interview with Kristin Thanks for your great questions and for bringing all of our questions to her as well!! YOU ROCK!!!
Cadt: How about in this thread leave a message about not getting only David Archuleta videos here?
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/label?lid=685878cd44b81c60&hl=en
Anne-Marie-it is posted in the interview above that it is not an acoustic set like he did this summer. Im hoping it will be two different songs from what he is doing during the show.
cadt hmm I thought it was crazy with nothing making sense either. I read other folks noticed it too. hope they fix it before Tuesday!!!!
hey we could get a video tomorrow if someone tapes the book signing?
Hector ha 15 year old… just read not sure if true he asked out Rhianna….
hi russ, marciami, cadt, pamtimmie!
221/ hi cadt… just a suggestion… forward what you’ve found to our mods here, jenny or becky… maybe there is a way to make an official inquiry into this problem… a large fansite may get a quicker response from the yt admins… dunno what to make of that, but it’s time it was brought officially to their attention…. it’s not even a matter of stirring up old fanwar feelings – right is just right, you know?
Hey Hector, glad youre doing well. I’m doing ok. Back went out last saturday, but its doing much better now. Nice to be able to bend,lol. I really am excited about the vip & the concert, cant wait. I guess the end of the week, a little tired, so I’m a little cranky,lol. Who knows what will happen at the VIP. Just want David to protect his voice. I hope he remains healthy, happy & in good voice. Sure I want to go to the concert, but I want him well for his sake especially.
K FOD FAM!!.. its time for me to goes.. haha.. much luv to all and a great weekend! nice catchin up!!.. *waves, walks out of the Archuleta Face shaped Door*
Hi Russ-How was you’re day?? Did you get in any leaf raking?
Candy- I went back to read that part of the interview..thanks! I don’t know how I missed that part!
#230 Candy: Me too! I dislike any picture of me, but I loathe the pictures from ILAA. Their lighting is set funny. David looks gorgeous, but if you are of the fairer skin type, like me, I think the light shows all your worst attributes.
I have a great pic of David & me from the KISS M&G in Seattle and am happy with just that one. I’m thinking of asking Kristin not to take a picture of us, but then I may not get that warm hand on the back.. Gotta have feel that touch.
Byeeeeee Hector.
Gah, I’m a Goner! is soooo thrilled and over the moon to announce the appointment of the incredible Dustin who will serve as Media Liaison. In this capacity, Dustin will conduct a cellcast for friends and family members unable to attend your service. Welcome aboard Dustin!
235/ hah!
i read that about him asking rhianna out, lololol… what a playa – at 15 
i think he’s joking, but who knows… he might like those somewhat older young women 
241.JoyF-I hear ya about them supersizing the ILAA photos, I could skip that part too.
Beth- That’s funny because I’m a little cranky tonight too!
Night Hector!
Candy- I’m hoping for that too! I’m bringing my sister and nephew with me and was excited because I wanted for them to experience the acoustic set just as I had. But it will be great either way!
238/ [hugs] hector – hurry back… we miss you when you’re away
Candy~Your photo was lovely>
Hey GG! Yeah, its not about not wanting to see David Cook, its the fact that you type in David Archuleta specifically & they have a bunch of Cooks videos there. The whole point of putting someone’s full name in is so you get their videos, not someone elses. Seems like a very odd thing, like it’s not exactly an accident. I dont mean to sound paranoid, but it doesnt make any sense.
OMG you mean Baby faced Beiber asked Rihianna out?? You have got to be kidding…well he has an overrated opinion of himself.
Hi GG
Hi Candy. No raking leaves today. It’s dark by the time I get home. I think I will have to hire someone to do the raking for me.
249/ i hope we can find an official contact at you tube to rectify this… if it’s happening, then they need to correct it… pronto.
Anne-Marie hmm when I saw AC soundcheck felt David’s star rising… what I mean is I think he is a
star now not just a wannabe? felt that way when I saw him at the Kaleidoscope event as well…
confident, outstanding quality in his vocals and basically a seasoned performer a star!
except he was too stinking adorably shy/awkward when they called him back on stage to dance
blew the rep out the window…
Adios Hector!
Anne-Marie,lol.
RJ,lol, Will there be videos on you tube too?
Candy could be a rumor and supposedly she said no? but just the same a young JT?
203! RJ rotfl!!!!!!!!!!!
GG you can’t find David too much at all in the videos when you search revelance newest.
What does Justin Beiber sing?
RJ man o man!!
cellcast funerals….
what a better thing to leave a fellow fan
In lieu of flowers…
save your money for spring tour!
Anne-Marie top 40 ish stuff…
GG I agree. It just doesnt make any sense. Just did a little experiment. I typed in David Cooks name & all videos were his. Then I chose the most recent, again all his. typed in David Archuleta & at least this time they had all of his except for 1 of David Cooks, Light On, but when I chose most recent, most of it was David Cooks. Something fishy is going on here.
hi cadt, and team!
here is the contact page on you tube…. this may be a good place for us to start trying to get answers for the problem with david’s videos… who wants to take a go at making contact with an admin their to voice these concerns – the sooner we act, the sooner i hope to see this resolved……

257/ please jot that info down kimk, and any other problems you’ve had accessing the videos… i recommend we all document the problems we’ve had on the site accessing david’s videos… makes it easier to relay to them exactly what has been going on… there seems to be a pattern, that different people at different times have reported, so this is a problem… way to fix a problem – we go to the source
250/ hee hee candy – he may like those island ladies
but at 15, i betcha she laughed and him and told him to come back in 10 years or something, hahhaah 
GG-wonder if it has anything to do with what server you are using, Im on FF and it is 99.9% Davids videos. 3 were Cooks.
Goodnight Everyone, Take Care All!!!
Going to go watch one of my alltime favorite shows, Monk. Only 3 original shows left
including this one. I’ll try contacting you tube, probably not till monday during biz
hours.
Nighty Night Bethy-see ya tomorrow.
GG glad David has great fans to keep an eye on things.
Candy, I have Windows Internet Explorer & I’ve never had this problem until the last week or two. Why now? Oh well. See ya tommorrow!
GG lol!
Hey everyone…I’m going back up top to read Kristin’s interview…been waiting for it! Just wanted you guys to know we’ve been trying to trend #Ilovedavidarchuleta over at Twitter for over 3 hours and could use all the help possible! I can’t tweet again for an hour because I got a message I’m over limit…LOL!! Is there anyone around who has a Twitter account who is in the mood to get this to a trending topic? Thanks in advance!
265/ hmmmmm… that adds a new twist…. gonna jot that down… that needs to be asked, or relayed to you tube…. thanks for bringing that one up
nobody messes with our david videos, hahah 
266/ smooches to you beth – thanks for the vigilance, and the follow up… we’ll do this thing right, and make sure they understand we have noticed some issues, and want resolution…

Good Night Anne-Marie
Gah, I’m a goner! Inc. is a corporation who listens to its clients. But we request your patience and understanding as we are a newly-formed entity (just a couple of hours, in fact). Questions have arisen on media coverage for services. As these events are intimate and personal, CAMERAS AND VIDEO RECORDERS ARE PROHIBITED. Anyone who does not comply to this rule will automatically be thrown out of the venue.
But, Gah, I’m a goner! understands our clients needs to have a visual memory to hold on to. Thus, Gah, I’m a goner! will soon be employing an official videographer. We are currently tracking down this person by the name of Gengen who we heard is outstanding in this type of work. Video Discs will be created and handed out to all attendees. These CDs will come in a nice package/box that Gah, I’m a goner! does not intend to make. Hmmm, that sounds familiar.
268/ we have our ways, hee hee
Marylee hi! I think I am going to pass on this one?
maybe for Thanksgiving? #Kaleidoscope?
277/ rj – you missed your calling – but it’s not too late… you should write for a living – honestly
this has been some great stuff!
RJ~Question~~ Does anyone special ever make guest appearances at these “farewell” events. Perhaps to sing an inspirational song? I would just “die” if that could happen?
Hi Everyone! 3 more days and I will meeting David I am so excited.
#281 Ms. Jana…Thank you for your question. I refer you to the Superstar package either for yourself or for a friend whose service you wish to attend.
282/ hi patty – i’m excited for you
RJ
hmm like this…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjNyr1fZqcs
might not get too many takers
not enough action
Phone-BRB
284# Hi GG how are you today?
283# RJ you are so hilarious lol…
Hey guys!
just thought about it David might be singing a whole song live in Spanish??!!!
RJ, reading back through this thread, and ROTFLing at your imaginative advertisements! LOL
Come meet David Archuleta and get your CD’s signed!!
http://deseretbook.com/stores/index/77
weather… Midvale UT!!!
dress warm 39 degrees
mostly cloudy
Joanie ain’t he a kick!!
Gah, I’m a goner! CANNOT be accused of not having our finger on the pulse of our clients (excuse the pun). Thus, we have created another package called The Taser Package almost identical to the Basic Package. Instead of a taped recording of “Angels”, The Taser Package includes a full, YES! YOU READ THAT RIGHT!, a full concert by Constantine Maroulis. You can now order The Taser Package for your enemies or trolls in your life.
ADDENDUM: The Taser Package is available on a different phone line. Please call 1-800-GET-ALIF. Our representatives are standing by.
Kimk,, he’s hilarious!!
Did I miss Russ tonight?
RJ…Taser package??
RJ…
Come on Candy!! Get off that phone!
RJ ….:) that so funny lol.
wonder that the concerts are different then pop
are we supposed to behave…
what I mean no whoopin and a hollerin…
Hey Patty and Joanie!
feel WYSYLM at least needs a whoop or two after…
oh and an acoustic guitar and David
and Riu Riu Chiu
Pat a Pan
no way….
hey is RJ going to Baltimore…
I think we need metal detectors!
297-Hey Joanie, I have a good excuse, phone, unloading the dishwasher, folding laundry, feeding Jill…
kimk-I think the song will determine how much whooping we do. I cant see whopping during Silent Night!
Hey Patty!
hey Kimk…I have a feeling we will hear women thudding all over the floor after WYSYLM! In fact..during that song! LOL Haha, Rj isn’t going to any this time around, which, under the circumstances…could be a good thing!
Hey Candy! Yeah, i’m one to talk…I steped awa just for a moment…two hours ago!
Hi again! Sorry, had to do the children chauffeur thing and just got back. I think it would be great if we as a fanbase can somehow get YouTube’s attention and get the search working correctly. I tried googling ways to contact YT but it doesn’t seem like there’s an easy way (and I’m pretty challenged when it comes to posting on forums and such -that’s why I love FOD so much, I just follow your links!!). I hope we can figure this one out! I’ll keep checking out options in the meantime. (I want my David videos back!!!)
Candy well the Silent Night I saw at Kaleidoscope was outstanding. we cheered loudly after…
that is after picking our jaws off the floor. soulful…
299- Kim – Like Candy said I think will be depending in that song he will sing.
303/Joanie-Ha I was going to say that..you’re BBS was a two hour break! LOL
cadt me too. maybe when videos start coming in for the tour?
I wonder where Mr Concert Goer is tonight… rehearsing, another concert…
Joanie WYSYLM now….
different
hope he doesn’t run backstage like hoosie whatsie and pull out that sparkly suit…
303# Hi Joanie…are you ready for another snowing weekend?
304# I am totally agree with you lol.
Candy I think Elton John and Billy Joel were supposed to be at the Murray Theater tonight but it was postponed I think?
that would have been a killer one for David to attend… yikes!
Patty and Joanie is it really supposed to snow? the signing is tomorrow morning
will it be snowing?
hope not!
Just dropping by to say thanks, Monica, for the great interview! The questions were excellent ones — I was wondering about the laundry situation myself! LOL Kristin looks so young, I was surprised at how many different places she’s lived, including the U.K.!
And I noticed the YouTube thing too … helps a little if you type in just “Archuleta” (“David” seems to trigger David Cook’s vids).
313# That is what the weather man said, right know is a little bit windy…so how knows.
313.kimk-I heard BJ was in sick, Elton is better and Billy is sick. I was thinking abut going to their concert but tickets were outrageously expensive. Killer concert is right.!
Candy oh gosh seems everyone is sick
and very sick lately. that is one I would LOVE to go see.
Kimk…oh no! Not the bulletproo suit! Although, at this point I might feel sentimental about seeing him in it!
Patty..well…I hope if it does snow it is short and melts fast!
Kimk: Oh…the were upposed to be here tonight, but ot at he Murray Theater… that’s WAY to small for the likes of those two! Yes, it was postpond til February 19th at Energy Solutions Arena (formerly the
Delta Center). Snow? Some reprts say snow, some say no snow.
Hi TOfan… when I search for David’s video I always go to Google and brings me his videos because I always put David Archuleta and get me link to the YouTube videos so I can see then that way …because if I go to YouTube direct it does not take me to his videos.
BRB-Lyla just woke up coughing.
did anyone watch the Daughtry concert on Billboard?
were there really different views?
how did it sound?
cadt,I don’t know anything about youtube and how it works, unfortnately!
Joanie oh thanks. haven’t been to the Murray theater yet….
ok that sounds alright not like a blizzard…
do you think a lot of folks will go tomorrow?
I think lessha said she was going
Candy, oh no I hope Lyla isn’t getting sick!
kimk, who? j/k! LOL not me. He’s not my cup of tea, I’m afraid.
Kimk….no! Not a blizzard!! Do I think a lot of people will be there tomorrow?? Oh yeah!
#303 WYSYLM is not on the setlist. The one posted was incorrect
hello everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how are you guys doign tonight?
Hi Califi-is a new setlist for AA posted somewhere?
324/Joanie-she was coughing when she first got here, it could be a long night. Poor kid.
Hi Karla-How are you?
califi oh no soooooooo sad!!
do you know where I can se the correct list?
thanks!
Joanie thanks…
? David is not you cup of tea…
Hola Karla…doing okay how about you?
Hi Patty- I didnt see you here, sorry about that.
Karla hi!
Candy my son is in HS and says everyone sick
rough year for the young ones
Just wanted 2 say the interview with Kristin was fun to read–luv hearing that others say he REALLY is sooo genuine and nice
Not the complete list, but the ones that aren’t Christmas songs are posted on front page of Snarky’s. Annie from Germany called and spoke to someone at the venue about it. Also, Ann Arbor symphony twittered that OHN would sound beautiful with the french horns…goosebump time I think they said.
333/kimk-Lyla had both flu shots I hope they do their job! She goes to pre-school and that is like germ heaven!
Haha! Kimk…Daughtry is not my cup of tea, silly!!
HiKarla!
Candy, oh that’s too bad! I hope it won’t be too severe!
Candy don’t worries….you were in the phone when I get back lol
Hi everyone. I’m going to the signing tomorrow. I really hope it’s note snowing!!
Joanie that’s better. oh folks were going to watch to see how the concerts go I think.
I couldn’t get the darn thing to load.
califi I will go look.
would really like WYSYLM….
Hi leesha-oh lucky you! If you could get say about 100 cd’s signed for your Fod buddies that would be great. LOL
Hi lessha! Me too!
Kimk…haha, you’r kiddin, right? LOL
Gah, I’m a goner! Inc. sincerely apologizes for the long wait you’ve been experiencing. In truth, we were overwhelmed by the demand. But, we have rectified the problem. We have hired new customer service representatives to help you and we now offer assistance in English, Spanish, French, and Latin.
hi joanie how are ya?
Candy: i`m good a little tired
hey kimk how are you?
hi, patti, lessha, califi, bridget
califi I called the Ann Arbor venue the other day and I felt the folks there well weren’t very
up on things I guess I would say? even tried to call today in the time frame it says on the site
and a recorded message said to call Monday.
perhaps they are mistaken?
I may be a tad excited to hear WYSYLM again…
Joanie-is Midvale very far from you?? I remember seeing a sign for it but dont remember distance, was sort of in an Archuhaze!
well
Ave Maria is on the list…
goodness that live…
just wow!
joanie, how early do you think you should be there?
Candy, I’m taking a ton of CD’s. I’ve never been to a cd signing, do they sign more than one thing per person? Do they let you take pictures or video?
dang-I was hoping for WYSYLM, a definite tear-jerker! As are many other David songs!
haha i hear ranchera music!!
“me gustas mucho me gustas mucho tu, tarde o temprano sere tuya mio tu seras” hehehe lol
RJ: Vous ecrire mon hommage en francais, s’il vous plait?
Hi lessha…You will have fun tomorrow. I love to go to but I have to take some think to my aunt in Provo.So I will not able to go
lessha hey well I think Joanie said maybe maybe not and on weather online it
said partly cloudy? so not too bad but chilly!
Oh by the way David has gotten better at singing French….
Karla, doing much better, thanks How are you?
Candy…it’s just about a mile from me. Very close!! It’s just west a few blocks from the Target we went to.
lessha Not sure but I think Joanie said if it wasn’t too busy he can sign more then one?
not positive though but good luck and not sure on the pics. my guess yes?
RJ: Put me down as the new Spanish Service Representative lol
#345 She talked to the executive director, but who knows, lol.
This up coming week is going to be the best David filled week of my life. Tomorrow the cd signing, Monday David live on radio, Tuesday concert, FOD brunch and VIP, Thursday David on TV. Squeeeeeee!!!!!!! Can’t believe how excited I am!!!!!!!!!!!!
lessha-I havent been to one either. The closest Ive been to a signing was at the Jingle Ball last year, David did a signing there but it was along with a concert so it would be hard to compare.
joanie: i`m good i think im sick but good lol
i`m happy that ur doing better now
351/ joanie: what that means?
RJ?? es-tu la?
lessha- I know you will have the time of your life, we will be waiting to hear details, allllll of them!
350# Karla What ranchera you are listen lol
Madamme Joanie…Bien sur!
is it me or the words are very very tiny
califi lol well then that sounds pretty certain… it was a gentleman I talked to. wanted to gift tickets and he
didn’t know how even though it was the ticket number. maybe he was just filling in or folks don’t ever buy
tickets for other folks…
thanks!
sad…….
ha don’t shoot the messenger.
359: lessha which concert are you going?
Ha, the only language I speak is David!
lessha….Hmmm, maybe 9? There won’t be much sun hitting the outside of the store at that time of day, so it could be c-c-cold out there. I wondr what time they open?
Karla, I am asking RJ to write my tribute in French! LOL…hoever, he seems to be ignoring me. He mst haveto ask his French-speaking rep what I said! LOL Sorry you’re sick!
Karla yes they are tiny. I had to supersize.
Joanie it is from 10 am to 11:30 am?
Patty, I’m going to David’s regular concert Tues, and VIP WED. Which one are you going to?
lessha yep too much David.
Joanie: hahahahaha lol is okay im sure that is just a flu
Kimk: they are so tiny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have to use my glasses
joanie they probably open at 10 am. I don’t know if they would open at 9 am and let everyone in. That would be geat if they did that. I’ll hurry and call Deseret Book and see if they have a machine that lets us know what time.
365 RJ: tres bon, monsieur!
369 Candy…haha! That’s the only language I speak fluently! LOL

RJ!!~Have enjoyed lurking here off and on. Trying to get stuff done, but had to peek in on occasion to get your latest updates!
The night belonged to you young man! Thanks for the entertainment!
Night all!
kimk are you still around? – I saw your question about the Billboard concert above and I did watch some of it last night. – It was just okay – not sure if it had more to do with the feed or whatever but I wasn’t too impressed anyway – I do like Daughtry but a lot of the songs were very screamy and it just wasn’t that tight – the views were pretty much a close-up of the instruments being played – the audience – and then just a regular stage view – I didn’t really mess around with that feature much – It was a little choppy at times and the feed cut out and froze a couple of times, but that probably has to do with your internet connection – sometimes mine is better than others – hope that helps
Looks like everyone has gone to bed. Night everyone.
I went to a cd signing in Scranton in February. It was limited to 500 people. The mall got filled from one end to the other with people waiting. He was on voice rest (this was the night after the Sayreville concert on the solo tour and he was still recovering from being sick and a lot of rehearsing and had some voice problems). He got through signing all 500 of them pretty quickly. We got only seconds in front of him, and only 1 cd signed. At two cd signings I was at during jingle balls, it was also very very quick. These were right at the concert venues in the lobby/concession areas and it was very loud and chaotic but exciting, too. I have no idea how this one will go, but hopefully you will get more time. It might depend on how many people.
