David Archuleta in Baltimore, MD. 12/15/09. Credit to Lydia.

On the radio…whoooa ooo oo ooooo…on the radio…

KOST-FM in Los Angeles not only interviewed David Archuleta on the radio this morning, they also played Pat-a-Pan (WOOOOOT) and another tune from Christmas from the Heart!!

LA and Southern California fans were MORE than happy.  Elated might be a good SAT word to describe it.

Click in the graphic below to listen to the podcast of David’s interview from this morning.  It’s in two parts! Because two is better than one!

Donation form for Westbury Fans…

Fans who are going to the final stop of the Christmas from the Heart Tour in Westbury, NY on Sunday, December 20 have been asked by tour manager Ray Amico and the staff at I Love All Access to not bring gifts to David.  There isn’t room on the bus because there will be no bus.  It will be excused at that show.

Some of you have asked for a form to record donations that you make in David’s name in lieu of a physical gift.  According to Ray, David would be pleased and honored if you were to donate to a charity and this form is a way to share that gift with David.  It was created some time ago and has been uploaded and shared before.

Click on the picture to go to the link to download the PDF file.  You can print and fill out the message for David.

Here’s a great example of giving and how even the littlest thing can help someone in need.  Thanks to Holly for spearheading the buttons and using them for good.

Hi!
This past weekend in Waukegan I gave David a certificate stating that a $150 donation was made in his name to Make-a-Wish Foundation.  I explained that the money came from fans who had bought fansofdavid.com buttons.  When fans became aware that any left over money from the sale of the buttons would be donated, they began sending me extra money with their orders.  DAVID’S FANS ARE THE BEST.
Thanks.
Holly

More interviews!

They Will Rock You interviewed David and it’s really great.  A lot of the same questions, but it’s obvious the interviewer did her homework and read previous interviews.  Good work!

Ave Maria Cover

This song is fast becoming my “song of the album.”  I think I turned a corner when I saw it live.   That paired with it being the Gounod version and I’m a goner.

Jerry gives Ave Maria an acoustic soul.  Check it out!

    Love that donation form — such a good idea. I gave David one of those in SLC along with my letter. Maybe one day when the guy gets a chance to take a breath he’ll get to see it. I honestly don’t know how he keeps up with all he does!

    That *IS* very cool, Holly!

    You’re awesome!

    Tina she had a short little write up on the post above ^ below the donation form :D

  30. Tina says:

    Pam/27: Do you know where those numbers come from? Billboard, maybe? Interesting that they are a little different from the HDD numbers. Higher though, so I’m not gonna argue with that!

  31. Tina says:

    Thanks Pam :D

    Like I said before — I can be a little slow sometimes. I’m scrolling all up and down thinking I missed someone that came in amidst all my posting there. :lol:

  32. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    I think they get them form soundscene maybe? Isn’t that where idol chatter get’s there’s from?

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

    The MAN is AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, MAGNIFICENT, BEYOND DESCRIPTION, NOT OF THIS EARTH! I thought NJ was good… in Baltimore he blow us right out of our front row seats!! How does he keep upping his performances..POTC was the best yet! It was so quiet I could hear the ventilation system running. AND meeting everyone…the icing on our already sweet David cake!

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

    OHhh the tweet from David regarding “an interesting Vip, had nothing to do with any of us. During Feliz Navidad, David jumped right over the blocked staircase and took off running down the aisle, security had to go rescue him from an overzealous teen girl. Everyone was stunned when he went flying down the aisle. No one expected it!

  35. Tina says:

    CANDY!!!

    I’m so excited for you! From the vids I’ve seen, last night was AMAZING :D So glad that you had a good time and got to meet other FODers! Some for the first time and some old friends!!

    Hmmm, so the “interesting VIP” had nothing to do with you huh? Guess you’ll have to try harder next time! :lol:

  36. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Thanks Candy we wondered what had happened, I wonder if anyone got it on film?

  37. Tina says:

    And jumping over a blocked staircase! Sheesh David!! Give us all a heart attack. From the video I saw it wasn’t very clear how he got down the stairs but he sure looked to be moving fast :D

  38. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Was Feliz Navidad, just for the VIP?

  39. JoyF says:

    #34 Candy: Glad to hear it was an overzealous teen girl this time instead of a middle-aged cougar! :lol:

    I saw you in the ZG video! Gosh..looked like you were having so much fun jumping with David! :D

  40. Tina says:

    Pam: Yeah, it looks like those numbers are maybe from Nielsen SoundScan. Which is where Billboard gets their album ranking information from. Google is my friend, lol. I couldn’t access the SoundScan numbers myself though. Looks like you need a paid acct for that. Or maybe you can get to them for free elsewhere, I’m not sure.

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

    36/Pam05-I dont think anyone got the crowd surfing on film as the stairs were roped off, so he jumped over them and went flying…that had nothing to do with the VIP tweet. There was a rather rude, boisterous, disgruntled gentlemen that let a few choice words fly!! He let them fly from his mouth to Rays ears and right in front of David! Yikes!

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

    OH, NO -the teen had nothing to do with his tweet. it was a different man, a dad, that sparked the comment. The girl was fine.

  43. JoyF says:

    #41 Candy: Crowd surfing??? You don’t mean where he just falls into the crowd and they pass him around, do you?

    Details please1 Why was the gentleman angry and what did he say..in un-vulgar language, of course. ;)

  44. Tina says:

    Candy/41: Oh my goodness! Disgruntled or not, a person never has a right to act inappropriately. I’m sure there were quite a few young children within hearing distance as well. I hope that Ray took care of that “gentleman”.

  45. JoyF says:

    Candy: Someone’s Dad was mad at David during the VIP? :shock:

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

    the disgruntled gentlemen had two young boys with him, his sons! Sad example for his children.

  47. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Thanks Candy, my brain is fried lol, I have hardly had any sleep.

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

    NO Not mad at David…

  49. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Why was he mad at David?

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

    well, Im hungry and need to unpack. Be back after din-din

  51. JoyF says:

    #48 Candy: Waiting…hardly breathing here… :lol:

  52. JoyF says:

    #50 Candy: Such a tease. Post such intriguing information, then keep us hanging. Have you been taking lessons from David? :lol:

  53. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    I could just see David jumping over the rope like running track over hurdles lol. Good thing he didn’t get hurt :shock:

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

    it really wasnt as big a deal as the tweet made it seem. The man wasnt happy, let loose, it was handled. David was not involved.

  55. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Candy???

  56. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Maybe he was upset because the VIP is costly and we don’t get much time with David…

  57. Nemo says:

    Hey all request David’s christmas music here for your area….I ve been requesting daily and have heard David on the radio this season…SWEET, if he is not on the mediabase list write him in at the bottom…..thanks FOD

    http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=633817

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

    VIP’s are HUGE at the shows now, and well not everyone is happy about that…we heard 160 in Balt. Some people are expecting something different, they are not people who are familiar with how it works. I can understand their confusion but not the mans mouth! Thats all it was about. A dad that wanted MUCH private time with David for his kids. Didnt happen, he wasnt a happy camper.

  59. JoyF says:

    #53 pam05: Especially jumping over hurdles onto a set of stairs. That’s could be downright dangerous. But you know young folks. They believe they’re unbreakable. I know my boys sure thought they were…until they got hurt. ;)

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

    Candy lol hey I saw you, GG, and Angel just now in Zero Gravity!!

    Oh Zero Gravity was such fun!!!
    I think we may have all had the best FOS partay EVER!!!!
    looking for Feliz Navidad….
    the crowd was squeeing as he flew down the stairs in the end!! was crazy!
    also what was crazy was the encore applause!! never heard such thunderous cheering for anyone!

    off to check around! dang I did NOT expect to have such a wonderful time and David?????!!!
    All I have to say he is NOT the same young lad I saw in Greensboro!! heck no!
    he is freakin amazing!!!

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

    Pam, exactly, he had paid $600 for him and his two sons and I guess he thought that meant private time with David…end of story.

  62. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Wow! 160 is alot of people :shock:

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

    Candy here it is!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBgVGUkcWgA

  64. HiJoyf again, (answering question from last thread, had to go to work) Yes I had the time of my life at the Idaho concert. the temperatures were freezing but once we got into the venue the whole place was on fire. So much cheering from the crowds in anticipation of David coming out. His voice was spot on and my reluctant daughter turned to me and said “mom I have never heard anything like that before, she was in awe” So now I can give her the Christmas CD in her stocking and she’ll really appreciate it! I didn’t want it to end, I could have sat and listened to him all night.

  65. JoyF says:

    #60 kimk: Sounds like you had a very dull time in Baltimore. :lol:

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

    KIMK!!! So glad you made it home safe! It was AMAZING, I am still in awe…loved meeting you, felt like we waited forever for that moment…and Meeting GG-she is one very, very special woman! Nice, Nice, genuine group of people!

  67. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    Oh my gosh…

  68. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    That’s awesome Kathy :D

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

    Pam the front row was mostly FODers and wowza it was like your own private concert!!
    he was ablaze that young man and oh the sound in the hall was exquisite!! ooooh his voice and lol we were so close I sat there watching his eyebrows go up and down…. dang dang dang! really we all supported David to the extreme I think we may not talk for weeks!!
    gosh also being with all these wonderful folks I think was really such a wonderful experience!
    so much fun and ha no problems at all!!

    hey Candy looking for the ILAA pics have you seen them!?
    we just got back a few minutes ago!

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

    When David sang Fields of Gold he sat on the stool less then five feet in front of me…I melted again and again, “Barley” is my new favorite word!
    How all of FOD ended up in the front row we will never understand, when we opened our envelopes and saw AA on everyones tickets we did some major squeeingggggg. We did thank the ticket fair Godmother! What a special treat that was…all of us together!!

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

    69/kimk-no havent seen the pics, all I saw was a note saying they would be up within two weeks???

  72. JoyF says:

    #64 Kathy: Awwww. Another David fan! So glad you got to experience the awesomeness that is David with your daughter.

    I know what you mean about not wanting the concert to end. I went to 2 in a row and it still wasn’t enough. I think there’s something very special about this tour. Not only is David making new fans with his awesome voice and sweet personality, but there’s a spiritual aspect about these concerts that are touching people’s souls as well. David and hymns are just meant for each other.

  73. Nemo says:

    candy and kimk , i think its soo great that all you rock solid David fans got to meet each other, that makes me so happy. sounds like another great show last night!!!

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

    73/Hi Nemo-For me, meeting everyone and cementing bonds that were formed on FOD was truly the best!! People that you have shared daily life events with, along with a love and admiration for David, was a gift! One I will treasure forever!

  75. JoyF says:

    #62 pam05: I heard one of the ILAA people say there were 196 of us at the 2nd VIP in SLC… a few more the day before. I hope for a smaller one next time. Ya know..like maybe just 1. :lol:

  76. Tina says:

    Speaking of the VIP pics, is anyone else having trouble accessing the more recent ones? I can’t get anything more recent than KC to come up. I can see that there are supposed to be pics there for the ones since then, but I just get a red X. I’ve tried in Explorer and Firefox and I tried it on a different computer.

    Weird.

  77. JoyF says:

    #74 Candy: It really is the best fringe benefit of being David’s fans, isn’t it? That special bond we all share. I met so many people from FOD in SLC. I hope that one day ALL of us can meet somewhere and go to a concert together.

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

    Joyf-we said the same thing about the spiritual connection with this tour. If you dont feel something listening to those songs, your heart is a closed door. Those songs not only knock, they beg to be let into every heart! Looking at his face alone tells a story of what he feels, then when he sings, you just feel it, straight from his heart to yours!

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

    Tina- same here, cant access the pictures, just blank squares come up. I too have tried every program but nada!

  80. Tina says:

    JoyF/75: I believe it! That was a BIG bunch of people for VIP in Salt Lake. Had fun though :D

  81. JoyF says:

    #78 Candy: I felt that spiritual connection the strongest when David sang O Holy Night. He pulls you with him right to the throne of God when he sings that one. (sigh)

  82. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    JoyF
    In your dreams maybe Joy :wink:

    Hi kimk
    Glad you had a good time and arrived home safely, you too Candy :D

  83. Nemo says:

    75, haha joy….dream on, and yes candy its got to be nice to put a face to the names you chat w/ daily, lol. bbl but i’ll leave you w/ this :)

    http://fansofdavid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-32.png

  84. Tina says:

    Candy: Well, I guess it’s good to know it’s not just me! Must be a server problem for ILAA. Hopefully they’ll have it fixed soon…

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

    Believe it or not, we missed our friends from FOD that werent with us. We need to plan a universal FOD get-together…how epic would that be!!

    Well, gotta go do that din-din thing. Be back later,

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

    Candy just talked to GG and she is about two hours from home but happy!! She will be on around 9 pm she said!
    Yes darn it girl we all had a blast didn’t we! yes there were a ton of folks but it was like more the merrier it seems! loved our time with David at VIP and can’t wait to see the pics!

    Joyf we stood most of the time and danced ourselves silly, ha kept gesturing to him and singing and well general mayhem amongst the not too young I would say! :) )))

    FOG was really utterly outstanding and just a few feet from him?!
    well what a wonderful and extremely fortunate experience we shared… oh CCF was great as well! Stephanie is amazing and I guess you heard David was there the night before and knew we were coming? I think it might be posted on the CCF website as well!

    Joanie Hi! oh dang sorry you couldn’t come!!
    ha well there is three of the ladies in link #63… we were dancing and jumping fools… I was to the left of them but :) can’t see me….
    I was between the lovely Rohdegirl and Karen and ha we had a blast! he knocked us out cold with his
    spicy nachos ole self!! wowza!! oh man Riu Riu Chiu….. die dead done!!! need to see that again on video!
    every song was a killer!!

    Patti’s daughter got the Setlist and David’s water bottle… we were basically right center in front of him…
    ha all we could think of was that we were very good gals this year!!
    oh Santa Baby came early this year!

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

    During FN we didn’t think he was going down the stairs because the speaker stacks were right up to the end of the stage kind of but he flew thru the air and raced down the stairs… ha the crowd went nuts and I NEED to see that on vid!!

  97. Kimk…you have NO idea how sorry I am I didn’t get to go!! If I had a crystal ball and knew how everything would work out, I would have saved my money and come to Baltimore with all of you! The best would have been to do both, however! And I DID have a great time in AC, but still….. I can hardly wait to hear everything and see all the photographic evidence of your good time! Aww, sounds like you guys had the BEST time ever!!

  98. Oh kimk….tell me there IS video of David fying through the air!!! :shock:

  99. grannycrush says:

    Hi everyone…It is such fun to read how much fun you all had together in Baltimore. He is just getting more amazing with each tour. I would have loved to see the leap down the steps during Feliz Navidad. So glad he didn’t fall. He would have had lots of help getting up, though.

    I have been trying to register for the Billboard concert for days now, and I can not figure out how to do it. I slide the button to yes and then I see name, email, and cell#, but it will only let me enter my cell#. I do not have text on my phone, but that shouldn’t matter. It will not let me enter my name or email. It doesn’t tell me that I need to download anything either. Did anyone else have issues like this?

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

    The amazing Mrs. MaryNC made these for quite e few FOD fans! She is wonderful and so dang talented!!!

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

    Joanie think of gazelle….
    have no idea but hope there is! …so fast almost missed it! he is hard to keep up with!

  102. JoyF says:

    #99 grannycrush: You won’t be able to download the Silverlight software until the pre-show tomorrow which should be 4:30 PM Pacific time if we are to go by their clock.

    Not sure why it’s not letting you register for the event. I just did.

  103. JoyF says:

    grannycrush: I didn’t slide the bar..I just clicked on Yes.

  104. JoyF says:

    David Tweets: :lol:

    DavidArchie

    Wow.. Eating dinner. Pretty sure I’m sitting next to the definition of gossip girls just the next table over lol

  105. Kimk…a gazelle!! :grin: Whoa, Dvid keeps on surprising us all the time!

  106. MrsMaryfromNC says:

    Hi everyone! Awwwwww kimke! Thanks, you are so sweet! I think everyone on FOD is wonderful! I had SO much fun planning and making them! What was the reaction?

  107. JoyF says:

    #101 kimk: Especially with a camera when he’s singing ZG! I gave up during the 2nd concert! I was too close to the stage and had to look up..couldn’t keep my focus on him with all his high-stepped prancing back and forth. Reminded me of a young frisky colt. :D

  108. TrudyFOD says:

    Hi everyone…I see some of the Baltimore crowd made it back…so glad you girls had a great time! Well then again…this was David Archuleta — and everyone has a blast at one of David’s concerts.

  109. TrudyFOD says:

    guess no one is here…sorry to just drop in…guess I’ll check back later

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

    Hi Trudy-missed you in Balt…cant wait for Friday. The venue was a huge step-up from NJ, and the man just keeps out doing himself. He goes from spicy hot nacho to reverent spiritualist. And everything in between.

  111. grannycrush says:

    JoyF… I am such a literal person. It tells me to slide the thing so I slid it, but when I clicked on Yes it worked. Thanks for the hint. I am registered. Can’t wait!

  112. MrsMaryfromNC says:

    Hi Candy! Sounds like you had an AMAZING time in Baltimore! The videos I’ve seen are awesome!

  113. JoyF says:

    #111 grannycrush: I’m a “rules” kind of gal too. I tend to follow instructions to the letter which can cause all kinds of problems since not all instructions are written correctly. I would have made a good soldier. :lol:

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

    MrsMary- I LOVE my FOD pin, we all wore them proudly. That was so sweet of you, David looked at them with a puzzled look on his face. It was too cute. Thank you such much for sharing your time and creativity with all of us. It is on my dresser next to my picture of David.

  115. TrudyFOD says:

    Hi Candy – glad everyone had a blast in Balt — yes I can’t wait for Shrougsburg…but I’ll also be at MGM show tomorrow — I’m shaking just thinking about it.

    Are you going to the lunch place that Tom booked in Shroudsburg? I know Russ is going and I should be there..not sure who else. Tom is going to try & make it…but he wasn’t sure if he would be out of work on time or not. Have you checked your emails?

    I know you’ve been busy and probably just got back today…a couple emails flying back & forth.

  116. MrsMaryfromNC says:

    Candy – you are SO welcome! I love that you loved it! I put one in David’s gift bag, so maybe he will have time to figure it out! haha! It was such a fun thing to do, and it made me feel like I would “sort of” be at the concert too! I’m so determined to get to a concert next year and meet all of you!

  117. TrudyFOD says:

    Candy – how was the VIP in Balt? the picture part — better than NJ I hope…

    David had tweeted the VIP was different…do you know why?

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

    112/MrsMary-I dont know what was his his water in Balt but he was on fire but in a different way, so self-assured, so confident on stage, SO SO SO playful, such a tease, flew right over the barrier and the steps into the audience. The security guard about had a heart attack. And the crowd went berserk!
    Oh the gift bag you made was beyond cute, loved it! Matched out FOD buttons. :)

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

    117/Trudy-well it was better I guess, more people not so sure that part was better but set up sort of the same. No room big enough to hold everyone so they did it on the 2nd floor lobby area. Very distracting for David, he is trying to listen to what people are saying and people walking by wave or call his name…you know how he is…easily distracted. Five of us did a group picture.

  120. MrsMaryfromNC says:

    Candy – that is so awesome! I can’t wait till someone gets a video up of FN so I can see him go into the crowd! I can definitely see what you’re talkig about in the videos, and I know they probably don’t even do him justice! Hands down, there is NOBODY that connects like our David! It’s just incredible!

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

    117/Trudy-yes Ray told us what happened, will fill you in on Friday. While what happened wasnt funny, we were all betting that everyone back here was thinking it was us…or me, Ha and we were right! They did!

  122. Sweetcrush says:

    Hi all, Just coming out to show the FN video of him jumpin’ down……it’s the only one I found so far…I’ll keep looking.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAak0vN1yZc

  123. TrudyFOD says:

    Candy — now you have me wondering. Ray explained Montclair? Can’t wait for the story on Friday.

    Are you making the lunch in Shroudsburg? Tom had made a reservation at a restaurant for 1-1:30

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

    122/thanks sweetcrush-it happened so fast…

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

    123/Trudy-no Ray explained to a few of us what Davids “Interesting VIP” tweet was about in Balt..

  126. MrsMaryfromNC says:

    Thanks Sweetcrush! I was just wishing for a FN video! And there it is!!! :)

  127. MrsMaryfromNC says:

    Going to get something to eat – BBL!!!

  128. TrudyFOD says:

    Candy — oh — he had me wondering what he meant…looking forward to another great time in PA – I had so much fun with you & Mary.

    I wonder if David is in a daze right now…he has so much going on for the next 5 days!

  129. TrudyFOD says:

    Benton Paul just tweeted:

    @BentonPaul
    HUGE supportive cheer goes out to David (@davidarchie) for regis & kelly and billboard live tomorrow. Kill it bro!

    I really enjoyed Benton’s music.

  130. JoyF says:

    #125 Candy: No fair! I can’t be there on Friday! (says she with arms crossed and pout on her lips) :lol:

  131. angelbymyside says:

    Hi everyone!

    WOW!!!! The concert in Baltimore was out of this world! It was almost like an out of body experience! lol. David is beyond amazing. One song seemed better than the next. During several of the Christmas songs you could have heard a pin drop in the theater. It was just incredible. I honestly wish that everyone could experince David singing these Christmas songs live. I don’t think I will ever hear anyone sing them more beautifuly than David sings them. During VIP he dang Touch My Hands and Mary Did You Know. I have heard dozens of artists sing MDYK over the years but NO ONE even comes close to David’s hauntingly beautiful version in my opinion. It was stunning! It was so wonderful getting to meet so many FOD friends for the first time like Kimk, GG, Marylee, Patti and her daughter Kristin, David from Texas, and so many other wonderful people. It adds so much to the entire experience. David is really blessed to have such warm and loving fans.

    A special thank you to Mrs. Mary for making the adorable David Christmas badges for us to wear. We wore them proudly. You are a sweetheart!

    Our lovely Stephanie arranged a great after party for 40 of us at the Cheesecake Factory. She is just a doll! She and Danielle are two of the most dedicated fans I have ever met. She got a lovely surprise from the management of the CCF that involved David. I will let her tell the story! It was such a surprise and so sweet.

    Well I have one more concert to come on Friday in Stroudsburg. This Christmad tour has been a beautiful gift from David to his fans and I could never thank him enough for this amazing gift. I will cherish these special memories forever!!

  132. TrudyFOD says:

    Hi angel – and you are so right..there is no one that sings with so much heart as David. I just him in Montclair…and was just blown away by the concert. Prayer of the Children gave me such chills…

    Glad you had such a great time and thanks for sharing your experience. There are a lot of FODers including me going to Shroudsburg — WOOT!

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

    I would like to second what ABMS said abut Stephanie, she went far above and beyond for all of us, from suggesting a great hotel with an AMAZING view of the harbor, to the after party at the CCF. The CCF rolled out the red carpet for us, well the surprised from David…she can tell you about that! Stephanie and Danielle are two of the most dedicated fans, they put so much love and hard work into supporting David. It is a true labor of love for them!

  134. Russ says:

    Hello everyone. Sounds like everyone attending the Baltimore show had an amazing time. I’m really enjoying all of the stories. Looking forward to Friday in Stroudsburg.

  135. Nancy says:

    WHen is the Regis and Kelly thing…does anyone know? What day and time?

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

    134/Hi Russ-me too, cant wait to see everyone…you are in for such a magnificent treat! I have never seen David as happy as he has been on this tour, HIS tour. He has been able to let his fans see his inner heart, and share his love and reverence for these songs.

  137. JoyF says:

    How far is it from Seattle to the East coast? Thinkin’ I’m going to have to take in a couple of concerts there next time.

  138. JoyF says:

    #135 Nancy: Dec. 22 – 9:00 AM – ABC

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

    Mrs. Mary!!! hello!!! we had such fun and had a bunch more just for you and because of you! major hugs there miss!!!!

    Angel hey you got back home ok! I am so glad to have met you and Candy and all the other wonderful folks!! funny how it almost seems we all know each other even though we haven’t met and are old friends! hmm guess we are!!
    ugh man not off the high yet! what a wonderful time!

  140. NA/northerangel says:

    I like the VIP pics from Baltimore. So many kids at that one! Great group of FODers with festive buttons standing next to David. ;)

    Stephanie & Danielle ~ What a special picture you took with David and the signed pillow from Heart&Hands!

    THANK YOU Becky, Jenny and Fran for keeping up with FOD during this busy season. I don’t know how you do it, but it’s always appreciated!

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

    JoyF-there was a fan from Seattle in Baltimore! Would love to see you, gonna hold you to that!

  142. angelbymyside says:

    Russ: Hello! All I can say is be prepared to be blown away on Friday! The concert is beyond words! Can’t wait to see you there!

    Trudy: I am looking forward to meeting you!

    JeffR: Jeff if you drop in to FOD when I am not on, I just wanted to say thanks for your sweet Christmas gift. I have it hanging on my tree. You are a sweetheart to go to all that work. I love it!

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

    140/NA-where did you see th pics, I havent been able to see them.

  144. pattiNC (Baltimore VIP baby!) says:

    Hi everyone…just got in a little while ago. All I can say is WOW…this was our 4th time seeing David (inc. AI tour), and our first time doing VIP…it was the most incredible experience! When he sang MDYK, it was THE MOST incredible thing I have ever heard coming out of someone’s mouth! STUNNING!! Then the concert…omg, it was by a “comfortable mile” (as Simon would say) the best concert I have ever seen…and not just David’s. The Christmas songs were absolutely beautiful…it was truly a religious experience. He gave me chills! Didn’t know which songs would reduce me to tears…but last night it was FIelds of Gold…tears rolled down my cheeks on that one. OHN night was another memorable moment, as I held hands with GG. This was my daughter’s 19th bday present, and it was one we will both never forget!

  145. TrudyFOD says:

    Russ – did you ever hear back from that person about the vip ticket?

  146. Nancy says:

    thanks Joy….

  147. TrudyFOD says:

    angel – looking forward to meeting you too! Think it’s going to be quite a night!

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

    Joyf oh goodness Joy he was beyond words. beautiful in so many ways.

    hmm funny why would Benton tweet about Regis and Kelly and not Today show? is David taping his appearance
    on Regis today?

  149. TrudyFOD says:

    pattiNC – aww that’s awesome — what wonderful birthday present — it’s one she will never forget!

  150. pattiNC (Baltimore VIP baby!) says:

    Besides having front row seats with David and his mic stand in front of us, meeting new fans, and seeing old ones, made for a really fun time. The get together at the CCF was so much fun, and S&D did a great job with that. I really need to say that David has some pretty amazing fans, with big hearts. I could’ve never taken my daughter to this concert if it wasn’t for the generosity of Kimk, to offer to drive us, and graciously let us stay in her room. We’ll never be able to do VIP again, but I am fortunate I made the decision to do it for this one. :)

  151. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Hello Everyone! Help, Stupid Stella here,lol. I’m at the Billboard site & it says it needs Adobe flash player 10. Is that a big deal to have installed. If I say yes & its installed will it be easy to figure out after that? Sorry for being so inept,lol.

  152. angelbymyside says:

    Kimk: We had a great trip home. I was back to my house in exactly two hours. I was so glad that we finally met after our AC plans got cancelled in the summer. You are right, it felt like we were all old friends. You are a sweetheart!

  153. OK, dinner and dishes are done and I am here ready to hear EVERYTHING about Baltimore!! I am so happy for all of you who got to go, and so sad that I could not be there!!

  154. Thanks FOD for making Baltimore unforgetable!!!! So glad to have met all of you. David was out of this world, and I must admit to shedding a few tears. Wishing all a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

  155. JoyF says:

    #141 Candy: Got the gears in my brain spinnin’ just thinking about it. :lol:

    Alaska has nonstop flights to New York but boy the price is really steep! No way would I try to fly that distance by myself. Would have to take Kristyl with me for sure.

    Never been any further East than Chicago and that was when I was a youngster. Would love to see your part of the country.

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

    Thanks NA-for some reason the last couple of times I havent been able to open the ILAA no matter what server I use. Will have to drop ILAA an email.

  157. pattiNC (Baltimore VIP baby!) says:

    Oh and my daughter got David’s water bottle and the set list…her boyfriend and her brother don’t quite “get” the water bottle thing! haha They want to switch it out with another one!! haha

    Candy I couldn’t view pics either..just shows little red x

  158. ☮peacesign ♥~ ( Ann Arbor symphony & Cleveland..blessed beyond words ♥)Pam says:

    “Merry Christmas Everyone”

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

    Hi VaBeachArchie -How great to meet fellow FOD who truly get David, in the purest sense of the word. Cant wait to do it all over again!

  160. JoyF says:

    #152 Beth: I have Flash Player..no big deal. After that, “click” on the Yes then register. You won’t be able to download the software to watch the concert until pre-show tomorrow.

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

    pattiNC-your duaghter is STUNNING…Oh and she is Davids age and is a brunette…she sure would be one to get an ARCHUGAZE from the man!

  162. TrudyFOD says:

    Hi peace

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

    pattiNC-thats all I am seeing too is boxes with little red x’s. Boo-hiss Oh frame that water bottle and setlist!

  164. angelbymyside says:

    PattiNC: glad you arrived home safely. All of you had such long drives. It was a pleasure meeting you and your daughter and being able to share this amazing experience. Maybe we will see one another again along the concert road in the future. :D

  165. Hey Russ, abms, Candy, JoyF

  166. Russ says:

    Trudy, The person that has the VIP ticket sent me an email and said someone contacted her before I did but wants 2 tickets but will settle for 1. She is going to wait to see what he wants to do and if he does not take it I can have it. I told her I will pay her for it. I would not accept a free VIP, they are too hard to come by and costly.

    Hi Joanie. I wish you were going to be in Stroudsburg.

    Candy, can’t wait to see you again and to meet some new FOD’ers.

    ABMS, can’t wait to see you again too.

  167. ☮peacesign ♥~ ( Ann Arbor symphony & Cleveland..blessed beyond words ♥)Pam says:

    Hey Trudy~ heard you had fun with my friend Astrid..she spoke very highly of you!
    Just wanted to drop in and say hello….

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

    does anyone have the link to billboardlive?

  169. Hi PattiNC, Trudy, Beth, Nancy, NA, Kimk!

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

    Joanie-there was one element missing on Baltimore…YOU!! Everyone was asking about you!!

  171. pattiNC (Baltimore VIP baby!) says:

    Candy…thanks so much for the compliment…she is truly a joy too (for the most part!) Yeah she’s gonna hide that water bottle from the guys..gotta protect the DNA…lol It was nice meeting you and ABMS…and I too hope that we can meet up again! :)

  172. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Thanks JoyF!

    Hey Joanie!

  173. Russ, I wish I was going to be there, too! *sigh* Well, if I win the lottery tonight I will be there! LOL :grin:

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

    Thanks JoyF :)

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

    BethyWethy-didnt see you pop in here, how are you my friend? Had any BBQ chicken lately?

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

    Beth urgh I have still not been able to figure how to install the Billboard live program and get it working!
    if you find out let me know! thanks!

    NA I see ? in the boxes…. :( (((
    want to see the pics! oh dear!

    Joanie hmm well let’s see…
    Syesha was in the audience and when David announced her she got mobbed with folks wanting to say hi!
    oh dear Riu Riu Chiu was smokin hot. that boy was meant to sing in foreign languages!!!
    all the folks are so right about him singing Ave Maria, Silent Night, First Noel, and O Holy Night….so spiritual and so amazing…. hmm even his hands seemed to express how he feels about these songs…they were
    clinched and speaking their own language….

  177. JoyF says:

    Joanie: Ya know.. if all FODers pitched in 5 bucks and bought lottery tickets, we just might have a chance. ;)

  178. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Hey JoyF! It asks if you want updates or be alerted by text. If I say no thanks then it goes back to asking that. Is that it?

  179. Yo Beth! How are you this evening??

    I hope GG will be here tonight to tell us stories from Baltimore!

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

    kimk-”Riu Riu Chiu was well smoking hot”…hmmm was that what we called him??? something else seems to come to mind…LOL where is GG when I need her!!

    His hands when he sings this songs are so in tune with his heart, they too express what he is feeling! Clenched, open, they tell a story!

  181. TrudyFOD says:

    Russ — I have my fingers crossed for you!

    Hi Peace – met some wonderful people at the the VIP & show — I had so much fun chatting with everyone!

    Hi Joanie!

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

    181/Joanie- I hope she is too, she is an AMAZING person, and a total hoot! So vivacious and full of life.

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

    Hello Trudy and Peace!!!

    Candy want to see the pics!!!!! how can we get to see them… must be a way!

    Ha another thing GG comes late to VIP because of here ding dong train issue and the crowd on line erupts into a roar and I hear David peeked behind the curtain to see who is causing such a rucus! :) ))

  184. RJ says:

    Hey all.

    Candy…Did GG make it for the VIP? Someone tweeted they were going into the venue but GG was nowhere to be seen.

  185. angelbymyside says:

    Joanie: You were missed in Baltimore my friend. We all wish that you could have been with us to share such a wonderful experience. Next time for sure :D

    It is impossible for me to ever pick a favorite song from David but during this concert I have to say I was absolutely blown away by Ave Maria and OHN. It is incredible to watch David sing these two reverent songs. It is almost like he is in some other world when he sings these songs. I have never witnessed anything like this! He was absolutely stunning last night!! Truly beyond words!!

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

    Candy yes yes sexy beast…..

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

    186/ Hi RJ-she missed David performing at sound check with her train delay, but make it in time to met David and be in our group photo. Although she wouldnt stand next to him. I tried to get her to stand next to him but she said No wayyyy this is as close as Im getting!!

  188. JoyF says:

    #180 Beth: Click on “yes”. Kind of confusing cause it asks if you want to contacted by text so you think you should answer no if you don’t, but you have to answer yes or it won’t say your registered for the event.

  189. Oh Candy! I wish I had been in Baltimore with all of you! I can hardly wait to hear from everyone who was there. Such a great group!! The CCF sounds like it was amazing!

    JoyF…that may just be the ticket, Joy! We’d have a much better chance. We don’t have a lottey here in Utah, but thy have one in Idaho, just over the border….a ticket is good for 10 draws. Hope springs eternal! LOL

    Oh kimk…when David sings in Spanish it is SO amazing! :shock: OOoh, yes, I have watched his hands while he sings…they are very eloquent!

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

    188/HAHAH- OH yeah he was one SEXY BEAST during that song!! Melted the chairs right out from under us on RRC!! And he knew it! :)

  191. TrudyFOD says:

    kimk – the show is amazing …David can sing the pop songs and everyone is hopping, then hits in the more meaningful songs like “the Riddle” & “POTC”….so heartfelt…then goes into our hearts & souls with the Christmas music — along with the “hotness” of songs in other languages & up tempo like Pat a Pan. David is so good at just putting the right songs together in a way that has us waiting with baited breath to see what the next song is. Like you said…and all that emtion thrown in *sigh*

  192. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Hey CandyWandy! Doing ok, I understand you went to some thing last night, some holiday occaision. I think a very nice man was going to sing & leap over stairs & such. I hope you liked it,lol. Actually, I had chicken yesterday. We had our company party yesterday at a local hotel. The chicken was very good. Odd though, I found a few multi-colored threads with it, reminded me of plaid. At first I though, OH MY HECK! But then I remembered Freud is in Florida for a mini vacation, thankgoodness,lol.

    Hey Joanie! I fell here at home yesterday,lol. Carrying somethings, dropped a pillow & tripped over it,ha,ha. Fell on my left hand, bent the fingers on my right hand a little & landed on my knees too. My knees arent to happy with me right now. It was funny yesterday, at the company party I reached for something & noticed the inside of my left hand was really swollen, so I took my water glass(had ice in it), put it on my hand & it took the swelling way down. Of course, while the president of our company was drawing names for prizes, I let out one of my big sneezes & I could hear it echo throughout the dining room & he said “be sure to wash your hands”,lol. I was so embarrassed. Didnt win a prize either,lol.

  193. RJ says:

    Candy….Aaw, our FOD cheerleader was shy? :lol: I’m glad she got her photo taken. I hope she got to say a few words to him. Did she get a hug? Did she ask for one?

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

    RJ-GG had a 5 hour train delay due to a different train derailing and blocking all train traffic. :(

  195. RJ says:

    Beth…Are you self-destructing? HAHA Hope your hands and knees feel better soon.

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

    RJ the poor girl went to the station for the 2 am train and it didn’t show up until 7 am! some kind of derailment I think? URGH! they let her in late but missed the soundcheck!!!! we did get a group pic with David though! ha may have overwhelmed him! was so much fun! she may be here later. she was still on the train a while ago.

    Angel yes I think I may have not even breathed thru those… the ending of OHN is more then I can handle sometimes
    kind of sad…I guess I want to go again….
    just got back

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

    RJ-I’ll let her explain.

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

    oh and by the way David dint find his tie, he had on a different one…we were like why is he tweeting instead of looking! LOL

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

    RJ GG? hmm I wouldn’t say shy as much as perhaps just tying to appear sane…
    kind of hard when close to the Archuleta….

  200. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    Candy! So..spill..Why was Baltimore VIP “interesting”? Huh? Huh?

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

    Beth Dear-falling is not good for ones health, esepcially with back problems. Where was Freud when you need him to cushion your fall??

  202. Trudy,how are you tonight? Will you be at the Stroudsberg concert?

    Hey RJ!

    abms: Next time for sure….you can bet on it! Sounds like you guys had the most amazing time! The mental image of David jumping over the barrier and running into the audience has my heart all aflutter!!

    185 Kimk…haha, that cracks me up…David peeked out to see GG causing a stir!! LOL

  203. JoyF says:

    #198 kimk: “may have overwhelmed him.” :lol: Think Jana, Julie & I did the same thing in Seattle. Poor David! :D

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

    HAHAH kimk=Love the way you put that…trying to “appear” sane…unlike the rest of us that were Archufied!

  205. JoyF says:

    #202 Jana: She ain’t talkin! :x

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

    204/Joanie-he did, everyone was so excited to see GG when she arrived, David peeked out from the curtian to see what all the excitement was about.

  207. TrudyFOD says:

    joanie – yes going to the last 4 shows…shroudsburg is one of them!

  208. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    JoyF I don’t think he was overwhelmed in Seattle..I just think he was wondering what was going on…the confusion over the group thing…

  209. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    I am looking at the Baltimore pics..and there is a darling one of David w/ a mom and 3 kids..so cute..

  210. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    RJ,lol. I think you may be onto something there,ha,ha. I just cant stop sneezing either. I’m going to call my dr’s office tommorrow & ask if I can get a allergy spray for my nose. A friend at work said if I ever get lost, all I have to do is sneeze & I’ll be found,lol.

    Candy, Oh, now you tell me,lol. I thought it was good for ya. Well, that settles it, I’m not going to fall anymore. Oddly enough, its the longest trip I’ve been on in about 12 or 13 years,lol. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone though. Oh yeah, my back is bothering me a bit, but I’m just glad my wrist didnt snap falling forward like that. I mean, how can I type with a bum wing?

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

    wawaw why cant I see those danged pics! I just see little boxes with a red x

  212. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    Candy~ I saw them! Very cute!

  213. Oh my gosh, Beth!! That sounds like a bad fall :shock: I hope you are doing ok now. Yikes! One of your…”BIG” sneezes?? LOL Now, you’re sure that chicken is on vacation, right? :roll:

    Hey Jana!

  214. Tina says:

    Good evening, all! :D

    Candy – you might try clearing your cache to see those pics. There were issues with them earlier but I can get to them now. Perhaps your cookies are still keeping you from seeing them. If you can’t get it, I can DL your VIP pic for you and email it or post it somewhere that you will be able to see it :D

  215. RJ says:

    GG causing a ruckus coming in? HAHA I thought maybe she was wearing a cheerleader’s outfit.

    Beth…Be careful about those nasal sprays. They can be addictive and then it’ll ruin the lining of your nasal passages.

    Hey Joanie!!!

  216. JoyF says:

    #210 Jana: That was confusing..wasn’t it?

    The only thing I remember about the picture in SLC is that I was talking during it and then David rambling about his friend in Seattle. Shoot..I don’t even remember his touch and that was so important to me. :(

  217. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    Hey there Joanie. how’s life in SLC??

  218. Tina says:

    Stop the presses, ya’ll! I am about to enter the kitchen to…. (gasp) BAKE!!!!

    LOL. Got a Christmas party at work tomorrow and I’m making cookies. I’ll let you know how many batches I have to throw out…

    :lol:

  219. Trudy!! FOUR more shows for you!!! You are the luckiest woman alive!!

    Candy, how great is that! So…did he see it was for GG?

    Beth, how can you type with a bum wing? Why, I’ll just send Freud over to do a duet with you, that’s how! :roll:

  220. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Joanie, Yes, Freud will be in Florida until Friday. I think Freud has the right idea about being in Florida. The cold is starting to get to me at my old, but not really old, sort of young, well not really young, but on the younger side of not to old, but…..age….Gosh, how do I get myself out of this one,lol. I’m doing ok, just kinda sore & feeling so stupid,lol.

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

    217/RJ-Cheerleader outfit…oh heavens no she was one classy woman. Looked beautiful in a pants suit, boots and that was after a 14 hour train ordeal!

  222. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    Candy is ignoring my question!

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

    221/Joanie-indeed he did…GG caused a lot of excitement when she arrived! The whole place was waiting to welcome her!

  224. Yo Tina!! Shall I alert the media? LOL

    Jana…life is good in SLC! The sun has been shining, it is a little warmer…40 something today…it’s pretty nice. How about you? How have you been?

  225. RJ says:

    Jana…see Candy’s post #58 for info on VIP.

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

    Jana and Joyf ha nothing that I know of was done by any FODer is justify that tweet…
    yep nothing I know of and sticking to that story….

  227. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    RJ, Thanks for the info. I’m actually hoping for something that, hope this isnt in the realm of to much info,lol, I have polyps from my allergies & I think that is a big part of why I’m sneezing so much. So I’m hoping for something that will shrink them. I’ll see what my Dr’s office says & maybe I’ll look on the computer too & do a little research. I know they recalled a Vick’s one recently. Thanks so much for reminding me to be cautious, sometimes when you’re looking for relief from something, you forget some important details to check out.

    Joanie, I dont know about a duet with Freud, he’s kind of, well, a show-off,lol.

  228. TrudyFOD says:

    joanie – so excited — and I’m going to David’s charIty event in NYC too — the Build a Bear thing. The woman on the phone asked what were the name of the “girls” attending. I just told her we are big girls attending…and there will probably be a lot more because is David is doing a concert that night.

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

    Jana-not ignoring you, am fighting with the danged ILAA site trying to figure out why I cant see the pictures, frustrating! I cleared every cookie I had on all three servers, still doesnt work!

  230. Candy….I was overwhelmed by my Baltimore experience….and meeting sooooooooo many of you here on FOD. David can be so proud of the type of people who are his fans because they mirror the man himself.

  231. Tina says:

    Joanie: No need. I’m sure the results of my efforts will make the 10 o’clock news. Filed under “Unnatural disasters”.

  232. Beth…Hmmm, you must be a spring chicken. No pun intended! LOL I do hope you didn’t hurt yourself too badly though!

  233. Tina says:

    Candy- Here, try this:

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/fjwn2kmylz3/3_DA Baltimore 12_15_09 056.JPG

    Once you DL it, I’ll delete it. :D

  234. Tina says:

    Oh pooh — let me try that link again — just a sec!!

  235. TrudyFOD says:

    Tina – what kind of cookies?

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

    232/VaBeachArchie- I agree. it is so nice to see the people that David brings together, draws close to his heart through his music. I think David is proud of ALL of his fans, regardless of age, gender, race, creed, religious affiliation, he loves everyone for who they are. He doesnt try to mold them into something or someone they are not. He is the most accepting person on the planet.

  237. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    RJ~Thanks for the direction!!

    CANDY… the picture of the group is nice, and yes GG looks very sharp :) Did you happenh to notice that Davis is taller? I did, cause I had flats on last time I met him and boots this time and it was very obvious to me..

  238. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Joanie, LOL. I’ll go with spring chicken. No, I dont think I broke anything, just some sore & swollen spots. I got myself a Mint Hot Chocolate from Caribu, oh boy, was that yummmmmo!!!!!!! It made me feel better. I think I’m going to stop by Caribu & get another one tommorrow after work, so I’ll feel even better. Yeah, thats it. Strictly for medicinal purposes only.

  239. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    good evening everyone!!! am home, tired but on cloud 99 – baltimore was amazing!!! i missed the 1st half of the vip due to amtrak being horrendously off schedule, but made it in time for the picture taking, which we did in a group – i was so glad to see so many fans of david from all over, and many who post here- you are all amazing folks, and there are no better fans anywhere :D

  240. Tina says:

    Candy:

    Here, try this one:

  241. pattiNC (Baltimore VIP baby!) says:

    On the Billboard live site…when am I gonna be asked about the downloading Silverlight thing??

  242. Tina says:

    GG!!! Hey :D

    Heard a good time was had by all in Baltimore. :) :) :) Glad to have you back!!

  243. RJ says:

    Jana…I noticed that too, David’s getting taller. Some photos of him with the same people show the difference compared to Demi/ David VIP photos. No surprise there, he’s a growing young man.

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

    GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-woot so glad to see you home safe and sound. Lovely Amtrak! Did they make nicey this time?

  245. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    sheesh typos.. I see Freud is alive and well.

  246. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    hi candyyyyyyy :D

    hi kimkkkkkkkkkk :D

    hi beth, jana, trudy, and tina – you ladies are awesome :D thanks for holding down the fort for the cp, and for being amazing supporters of david :D

    hi joanieeeeeee, vabeacharchie, beth, rj, joy4archie, and all the loving fans and lurkers :D

  247. RJ says:

    GG…Did you get a hug? Did you ask for one?

  248. Tina says:

    Trudy: I was thinking that maybe Candy’s browser cookies might be keeping her from seeing those pics. I was having the same problem last night and earlier today but I can get to them now. So I though the problem might be the browser holding onto the memory of that site not connecting. Didn’t seem to help Candy though. IDK, mine just picked it back up…

  249. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Hey Candy, I saw a video of POTC from last night which included the speech he gave before singing it. I know he always means every word of what he says regarding that song & his charities, but he seemed really intence about it all. It about knocked me out of my chair(good thing I was wearing a seatbelt, thought it was prudent to install one given all of these incredible performances,lol). OHN too, Its just, I’m so glad for the Billboard concert tommorrow night, especially since our concert was cancelled.

    HEY EVERYONE, DONT FORGET DAVIDS ON THAT UNIVISION SPECIAL TOMMORROW NIGHT TOO!

  250. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    RJ, Yep. It was really obvious to me.

  251. pattiNC (Baltimore was AMAZING!) says:

    GG!!!!!!!!!!!

  252. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    246/ amtrak is cursed, hehehe… we had a 30 min delay on the way back… had to stop in quantico va because a lady had a heart attack on the train – i kid you not…. this is one of the more memorable trips i’ve taken, for sure :D

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

    242-hugs Tina- got it. Considering we were trying not to smush David, it isnt too bad! I did have the FOD button on that MrsMary made, I think GG’s jacket is covering it.

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

    Only we have the exclusive on the
    Sun Bowl/David Archuleta’s visit to El Paso! Stay connected for updates soon!
    http://twitter.com/ElPaso411

    oh please let it be televised on National TV!!!!

  255. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    Hey GG>> You caught yourself one heck of a concert didn’t ya!!!!!!! ;)

  256. Russ says:

    Hi GG. I love the group picture of you girls with David. It is a great picture. Goes on my Itouch. Sorry you missed some of the VIP GG. I have had issues with Amtrak a few times in the past.

  257. Beth, oh I hear ya! Sometimes he just takes over my keyboard and types everything all by himself! :wink:

    Trudy: Oh man! You are going to have the best Christmas season ever!! Even BAB. Ahhh!

    Hey VABeach!

    Tina: LOL… you know that insurance commercial for deep fried turkeys and their consequences?? Well…….

  258. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    253/ whassup pattinc :D how are you and kristin – still on that cloud :D i am, but i tell ya, i’d do it all again to be among you guys and to hear david as he was last night… christmas tour all year round, hahahah

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

    Tina THANKS!!!! oh the pic ha looks like we had to squish the Archuleta to get us all in! love the pic!
    so many great folks in that one!!!

  260. Tina says:

    Candy/255: I love that pic!! :D I’ll delete it off my site now…wouldn’t want something that hot getting out to the unprepared!! :P

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

    GG -a heart attack and a derailment…Oh Lordy girl what a trip…one for the history books!

  262. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    I hope I don’t sound like a broken record, but Feliz Navidad is 2 1/2 minutes of pure joy!!!!! I never liked that song, they played it into the ground every Christmas, growing up in San Diego!! Now I can’t stop listening to it. (the David version of course!)

  263. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    257/oh jana, jana, jana…. i have to wait till i’ve had a good night’s sleep to be coherent enough to describe how wonderful baltimore was… does anyone have the ilaa link – wanna see our group shot – i’m glad i had the fod peeps with me, becuase it was nerve wracking being that close to david, hahahahhaha

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

    Tian ha you sure are a pistol and by the way we sang and lived it up last night during his set & you
    would have been very proud!!! ha all we need now is someone to have recorded it!! we weren’t videoing!

  265. Tina says:

    kimk: That pic is AWESOMAGE! lol

    OK, deleting it now…of course, it’s still on the ILAA site – just deleting it from mine.

  266. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Hey GG! Or is it Gone GaGa(over David,lol). From what I hear, you saw an incredible show last night. Tina & pam05 were great posting the David Duties. I think a couple other people did too, I just cant remember right now.

  267. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    263/ gonna give amtrak a rest candy, hahahha…. it really was one heck of an adventure :P

  268. Tina says:

    LOL — what’s this about Feliz Navidad?? You all sang for it, right?????

  269. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    268/ big hug and thanks to them, and everyone who held it down for the site, and ultimately for our david… after seeing him live, there is no way not to give that young man 100 percent…

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

    GG #235!
    hello there!! :) )))
    ha forget sleep it will take a long time to figure some of it out!

  271. TrudyFOD says:

    I sat next to a woman and her young daughter at the Montclair concert. She had talked to her husband on her cell phone to see if he would take her to another concert (and this was before the concert even started). Then she said…I don’t know why but I just love going to David’s concerts. And I said…”so what’s wrong with that? David’s concerts are the most FUN ever!” She said “I know” and then I said, “and there’s nothing wrong with wanting to go to more than one of David’s concerts!” Then we proceeded to scream, jump, and sigh and just look at each other every time David sang a song. David’s fan just immediately bond with each other — we were like oh my gosh…that was amazing…just oh oh oh….I’m shaking!

  272. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Gosh GG, what a trip. I hope that lady will be ok.

    Joanie, Yeah, Freud sure enjoys the limelight,lol.

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

    Tina ha not only that we were pointing at him in unison wishing HIM a Merry Merry Christmas!! we were fools! happy ole darn fools!!

  274. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    249/ no – i shook his hand, and thanked him for a great year, and told him that i was looking forward to hearing him sing… he has a very firm handshake, and his smile was to die for… gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :P

  275. Tina says:

    Did you guys get to meet DFT??

  276. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    277/ yes – met him at the ccf – hugged him a lot, and am so glad to finally have met him…. :P

  277. RJ says:

    GG…Did you get to say a few words to the Crown Prince?

  278. Tina says:

    kimk: Happy fools are the best kind! :P Some of my favorite people are happy fools…myself included when you get me around David Archuleta! lol

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

    GG goodness no!! gosh might need to fly next time!!
    hope she was ok!!

  280. Tina says:

    Ohhhhh, the Cheesecake Factory! I hope someone got a picture of the cheesecake for me. So that I can drool over it…

    They have no CCF where I’m from. Such a travesty!

  281. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    does anyone have the link to view the ilaa pics :P

  282. Tina says:

    Hahahaha — good timing there, Jana :P

  283. TrudyFOD says:

    Hi GG – so glad you finally made it back..you must be exhausted

    Tina: when I’ve had a problem with that site…I usually just try at another time and have gotten in. But then I see my pic and think why did I put so time into that. ILAA needs a camera that makes us look just as good as David – ha ha

    joanie – yes…I wasn’t going to do BAB…until a girl I met this past summer at a David concert called me and asked if I wanted to go…well that was all I needed! Of course I couldn’t let her walk around NYC by herself. I’ll go to some pretty crazy limits to see David and it’s for his charity so wanted to do it. And yes, this tour is definitely a treat for me.

  284. TrudyFOD says:

    GG – a heart attack! Oh my gosh!

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

    Davids handshake is so warm and friendly and so his is hug. Ha, happy fools we were, he got the biggest kick out of all us pointing back at him during Feliz Navidad and wishing HIM a Merry Christmas!

  286. CM(Yakima) says:

    Hi Patti, Just the sharing by you of GG and you holding hands has given me chills!! Just reading all of your stories!! Oh my!! I agree with JoyF. I think to go to a concert in the East Coast would be awesome!!!

  287. pattiNC (Baltimore was AMAZING!) says:

    still can’t see pics on ILAA website! GG, yes Kristin and I are still flying high…although I am exhausted!! But all totally worth it!!

  288. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    283/ thanks jana – i can’t view them for some reason – they won’t open, hahah… let me switch browsers……

  289. Beth, medicinal purposes, of course!! :wink:

    GG!! We’ve heard some great things about you and the vip!! Wow! What an adventure you had traveling!

    Russ…whre can I see the photos?

  290. Russ says:

    Leaving early tonight folks. Goodnight everyone. Have a great night.

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

    Tina Stephanie took us to THE booth David sat in and we all squished in and giggled…. one of the servers who was there with David when he was there got a pic of him doing a peace sign… think Stephanie will post it! hope so!
    ha she is so sweet I can’t tell you how much!
    lol the server goes to David I think something like woah you are not leaving unless I take a pic… to him… :) )
    she reminded me of GG…. CCF was superb in the way they took care of us! A+!!!

  292. Tina says:

    Trudy: LOL, no kidding! I just tell myself — it’s gonna be impossible to look good standing next to David. So I’ll just aim for not scaring small children… :P

    And I don’t know what was up with the ILAA galleries last night and earlier today. None of the galleries from newer than KC were working. I tried it on multiple computers. I’d say it was a server issue on their end but they seem to have fixed it. Thank goodness! I love seeing the VIP pics. Except for mine — I always cringe, lol. But it’s fun to see everyone else’s!

  293. Tina says:

    Good night, Russ! :D

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

    Russ hello and goodnight! hey we kind of were talking about you… nice guy from what I hear!

  295. RJ says:

    There’s a Cheesecake Factory in San Fran and it’s quite large too but it takes 30 minutes to get a table for 2. It’s on Union Square, the tourist mecca of San Fran and atop Macy’s.

  296. Tina says:

    kimk/294: That’s so AWESOME! Man! And I saw a twitpic of a signed menu. Was that from CCF?

    A funny thing at the very end of the concert…David did NOT want to leave the stage, he kept turning around waving and smiling, then he would hesitate and stop again…it was like he didnt want to leave…everyone noticed it! I think He truly felt the love and wanted to savor it for another moment. What a sweetheart!

  298. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    292/ it was nerve wracking all the way up to baltimore, wondering if i’d be there in time for the vip… prayed a whole lot, and hit the ground running when we pulled into penn station, hahaha… so glad i was able to make the last half of the photo session… i hate to think of not being there for any of it… but it was alright after getting there and seeing kimk and candy and abms and marylee and everyone :wink:

  299. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    299/ tina do you still have the link to your pictures from the baltimore vip… no good viewing them on safari or windows or firefox…. :wink:

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

    Good Night Russ-Its almsot friday, yay!

  301. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Goodnight Russ!

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

    Gg-I couldnt view it on any of the 3 servers I have either, dont know whats up with that. Tina posted it for me..

  303. Tina says:

    GG: Sure — give me a sec to upload it again. I had deleted it — didn’t want anyone to get upset with me for putting up a pic that wasn’t mine! :)

  304. RJ says:

    GG…Good thing ILAA still let people who are late into the venue.

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

    Tina David signed it Monday night as he was with Syesha there and they told him a large party was coming to CCF after the concert… they wanted to give Stephanie that as a remembrance with a cute tiger bear beanie baby… they were oh so nice!!!!!

    GG try this. It is all the concerts..I didn’t open Baltimore..maybe it will work..

  307. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

    Maybe it is protected for some reason.. There are children in the photos??

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

    Tina I even hear they are posting that menu signed on their website with a little story soon!!!

  309. Rohdegirl says:

    Hey all! Just dropping by to say what a truely amazing time I had last night. It was so great to see old Fod friends and make so many new ones. David really does attract the nicest and most genuine people. It was so special to hqve everyone i our hometown. David was so stunning last night …from Mary Did You Know to Oh Holy Night and everything in between David put his whole heart and soul into every performance. I truely feel he felt all the love and positive energy coming from

  310. Tina says:

    Jana: I think there’s something funky going on with ILAA’s servers. I couldn’t get in earlier today but now I can. Weird.

  311. Rohdegirl says:

    SORRY I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON lol coming from

  312. 273 Trudy: Awww, I love that story! It’s so true, isn’t it? As Napoleon Dynamite would say…”Luckieeee!”

  313. Lorna says:

    GGGGGGGGG, glad you FINALLY made it home safe and sound. It was just so awesome to chat, even for such a short while.

    Candy, that was just so touching how David didn’t want to leave the stage last night. He certainly was feeling the love.

    Prayer Of The Children blew me away last night. Every time he sings it the intensity gets stronger and stronger. His performance was so moving.

  314. Tina says:

    kimk: WOW! That was so sweet of David to sign and for the staff to let him know. It just seems like awesomeness follows wherever David goes… :D

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

    Rohdegirl WOOT-so good to see you, thank you for the great hospitality you and Baltimore showed all of us!

  316. Rohdegirl says:

    ok SOMETHING IS SCREWY WITH MY COMPUTER BUT YOU GET THE IDEA HAHA

  317. Katheryn says:

    GG: I’m still waiting for details from a fellow fan, but here is a copy of a post I made a couple of evenings ago regarding voting for ALTNOY. I will email David from Texas when I have more info.

    For those of you owning a certain type of cell phone that starts with the letter “B” and ends with the word “berry,” it turns out you can vote using your phone on the M-tone poll (it probably also works on the apple of my eye phone). I’m waiting for more details from someone I’m in email contact with, such as how often you can vote, does it work on other polls, etc. I don’t own either phone myself, so I don’t know the answer to these questions just yet. I’m convinced TH fans are using these devices to vote, first communicating with one another via Twitter and then voting in droves to take the lead so quickly.

    Sorry for being so cryptic, but I’m trying to avoid web searches picking it up!

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

    HI LORNA-WOOT Hail Hail The gangs all here….not quite the same as last night but the best we can do for now :)

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

    RJ oh Kristin is the nicest and it was like no problem!! GG called the number and explained her issue and they were more then happy to help! Not too long ago a young lady who got stuck in horrible traffic going from Conn. to Montclair and missed the whole VIP got invited to the afterparty. got a pic with David too!

  320. Goodnight Russ! Talk to you tomorrow!

    Hey Rohdegirl!!

    Hi Lorna!

  321. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

    307/ i stayed in communication w/kristin all the way up to baltimore, hahahha… she is a fantastic person, really put my mind at ease for sure… she just said to call her whenever i got to the venue, and she’d make sure i got my ticket… i had mentally prepared myself for the worst – missing the whole vip, but god in his mercy allowed the train to make it in in enough time for me to shower and change and hotfoot it on over… whew :D

  322. RJ says:

    Time for dinner. BBL

  323. GG_archudoors (baltimore bound 2morrow baby!) says:

  326. Jana~♫♪ Christmas Tour ♫♪ ♥ ♥ ♥ says:

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

    the lighting on this tour has been exquisite, its more like a light show…each song has its own special touch of color added.

  331. Patty says:

    Goodness precious…..what a busy day …I am very happy that all who went to Baltimore have a Blass lol… Sounds that David as always was fantastic!!!! :) Hello Everyone….
    This morning they mention that in one of the vid they see GG dancing I would like to see that…lol :)

  332. Rohdegirl says:

    Kimk Hey girl you sure were a great jamming partner. So glad we got time to get to know one another…..it was a real pleasure!

  333. Tina says:

    Jana: Can’t get into which one? The ILAA link for Baltimore or my link?

  334. Hey, did you guys meet DFT in Baltimore? He’s a doll, isn’t he?

    Well, RJ, when I come to a concert in SF we’ll have to go to that CCF!

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

    Good Night GG-Hugs-get a good nights rest!

  338. Beth(Christmas From the Heart Brings the True meaning of Christmas to my Heart) says:

    Goodnight Everyone! Take Care All!

    (Hope this comment goes through, been trying to
    comment for the last 15 minutes, so I opened
    another window,lol) Ciao

  339. Katheryn says:

    GG: We’re chipping away at TH’s lead. Voting on mobile devices could make the difference! If any of you reading this have a cell with internet capabilities, by all means give it a try.

  340. Oh Rohdegirl! Thank you! I am so sorry to have not been there with you all! I am so happy for all of you, though!

    Candy, oh how fun if you guys could all come to Utah for another concert in August!!

    Goodnight and sweet David dreams GG! Gird up your loins, because you will need all your energy tomorrow to tell us all about it!!

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

    Sweet Dreams Bethy- hope your hand is ok, and your pride! Danged pillow!

  342. Tina says:

    Good night, Beth!

  343. Lorna says:

    Hi Rohdegirl, still on a high from last night.

    Hi Joanie!

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

    Lorna hellllooo!!!! you know what the one thing that sticks out in my head about the concert is the quality of the sound at the venue last night. his voice was so strong and clear! so beautiful!
    was not prepared for how good he was

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

    344/Joanie-thinking they may not be another tour for awhile, he still has a lot of writing to do, then have the songs set to music, mix, submit…David keeps saying in interviews I “HOPE” to have a cd released next year…make you go hmmmmm

  346. Rohdegirl says:

    DFT is one amazing young man……such a sweetheart. Iam so glad Donna opened up her home to him she is a sweetheart also.

  347. Patty says:

    Whoo so tomorrow David will be in regis & kelly!!! Oh my I need to set up my DVR lol…. :)

  348. Lorna says:

    #348 Kim, I just don’t know how he just keeps out-performing himself. He was absolutely stunning last night.

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

    348/kimk-the sound/acoustics were superb! Beat NJ by a zillion miles. I have a whole new apprecaition for Benton after hearing him again in Baltimore. Big difference.

  350. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    hey everyone how you guys doing?????LONG TIME NO TALK….
    there are rumors DAVID will be taping REGIS&KELLY tomorrow…are we sure about that??
    i really wanna go & scream 4 him lol

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

    352/Lorna-I agree- how does he keep upping his performances…he changed up POTC in one part, you really had to listen to catch, where does he draw this from…us mere non musical mortals would like to know!

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

    Candy oh my the one he sang in French? I think it was Paris? wow yes loved him!! and we heard David loud and clear every song. so darn smooth and rich his voice and HYAMLC when his note changed up and well lol everything!!! I would love a CD of the whole thing as it was the PERFECT concert!!!!

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

    When is David on Regis and Kelly?
    thought it was next week?

  354. JoyF says:

    #351 Patty: I think maybe they’re taping the show tomorrow. They still have David scheduled to appear next Tuesday. http://regisandkelly.go.com/guest_guide.html

  355. Patty says:

    Hi Gloria!!! Doing okay just reading all the wonderful histories of the concert in Baltimore yesterday lol :)

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

    Isnt David in NYC tonight???

  357. Patty says:

    Hi JoyF… long time we did talk lol…How are you doing? Thanks for the info of the regis and kelly. :)

  358. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    WHy does david has to be sooo SNEAKY??? haha
    i was planning on going see him DEC 22 sing live on regis & kelly…. & i dont think i can go tomorrow :(

  359. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    Gosh i miss everyone HERE..but the COLLEGE is taking over my life lol…
    DID YOU GUYS know i saw DAVID last SUNDAY DEC 13??? it was amazing <3 <3
    gosh he is too much SOMETIMES…..

  360. Joy says:

    Good evening everyone. So happy! I got mail from David today. I included a SASE in my gift bag to him on Fri. and he signed my CFTH cd booklet and a picture and mailed them back to me. No note tho, but he did personalize them. He’s a doll!

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

    363/Gloria-I got to give you a hug and yes David was amazing!!

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

    364/wow Joy-what a sweetheart an what a nice Christmas present!

  363. JoyF says:

    #361 Patty: Doing well. ;)

    Am about ready to adopt my cat out to the nearest farmer though. He’s been acting funny for the last couple of days..meowing all night long and acting all weird. Well…I found out why today. He finally caught the “huge” mouse he’s been frettin’ about and just dumped him on my kitchen floor today. Thank God for having sons instead of skittish daughters. Corey just grabbed a couple of paper towels, picked it up and deposited it outside. Dang cat just loves to play with birds, mice and snakes. He’s smart enough to stay away from our neighbors roosters, chickens, geese, peacocks and ducks though. And the squirrels just chatter at him taunting him to just try and catch them. :lol:

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

    Joyf if Ray is with him that may mean he is taping or doing something musically I think too… and Benton tweeting that made me think hmm…

    Gloria hev you looked on the Regis site? it is at Tavern on the Green no and if I am not mistaken
    when Miley went to New Orleans she was pre-recorded as well? as I remember it? not sure but good luck to seeing him!!! I don’t think it is sneaky but may be a scheduling issue?

  365. Patty says:

    Gloria…good for you lol …looks like in every concert David since that he is getting more interactive with the audience.. lol

  366. Candy, that’s right I forgot DFT was going to Stroudsberg too!

  367. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    CANDY i miss ya sooo MUCH <3 i met so so many many archangels that day…IT WAS PURE love over there <3
    i couldnt STOP hugging people lol
    P.S thank you 4 taking a pic with me :)

  368. NorthCarolinaGirl♥Marylee (in ♫Ave Maria♫ Heaven) says:

    Hey everyone! just stopping by to say hello and to all my Baltimore buddies…it was a blast, my friends…I may never come down off this archucloud I’m floating on! He really set the place on fire last night!! :wink:

  369. Joy says:

    All you guys have fun on Friday. Wish I could go to one more. Although, that might possibly put me in the category of “need to get a restraining order against”.

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

    Aww Gloria- I love your enthusiasm and love for David.

  371. Ackk, I missed Beth leaving! Night Beth (when you peek in, like you alwys do!) :smile:

    Candy, oh, I know what they say….I just keep thinking August.. :wink:

    Hi Patty and Gloria!

  373. Patty says:

    Hi Kimk ….I am very happy that you have a lots of fun yesterday….you are very pretty lady :)

  374. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    I wish DEC 13 can DEJAVU???? haha that day was super uber awesome… i met almost all the people i talk in twitter haha <3 everyone was soo NICE/SWEET & PRETTY :)

  375. Patty says:

    HI Joanie…how are you doing today?

  376. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    Did i tell you guys that i got spend a little extra time with DAVID on DEC 13???
    haha it was sooo awesome cuz the MEMORY FROM THE CAM was FULL so Kristen had to change it so we got to talk & it was soooo “DREAM-LIKE” & he remember me from the last VIP & the bracelet i gave him <3 it was a "HONDURAN BRACELET"

  377. JoyF says:

    #364 Joy: Awww. David is so good to his fans!

    I was just showing my daughter all my David stuff today. She made me a tote bag with David’s picture on it..that’s where I keep everything. Anyway…I ran across an autograph that I had forgotten I had from David. After the Boise concert, we were able to see David briefly but because I wasn’t expecting it, all I had for him to sign was a crumpled up “will call” ticket voucher that I had used all night to fan a little girl in front of me who was suffering from heat stroke. When I pulled that out of the envelope in the bag, all those wonderful memories of Boise came flooding back. So I now have 4 autographs..2 of them personalized. But my favorite is from the first time I met him in Seattle because it’s his picture and it he wrote my name on it. I think that M&G will always be my favorite because it was the first.

  378. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    ok guys gotta go…need to sleep…i have a class tomorrow at 8:00 AM :/
    NIGHTY NIGHT :)

  379. Joy says:

    Yo Joanie! I got home today without the aid of a GPS. LOL! Had a great lunch with Laurie. She’s so much fun. My “sister of all things David”. We would love to come to SLC for a show some time.

  380. kristinNC says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAak0vN1yZc

  383. Joy says:

    Good night, Gloria.

    JoyF: It was a really good M&G in IL. Plenty of time to mingle, good food, good friends, great sound check. He was chatty and goofy. We weren’t rushed when we got to see him. Not like AC.
    My husband just shook his head and laughed when I showed him the mail I got from David. He said-you’re crazy, you know that right? But he makes me so happy. And I’ve met so many nice people. And the VIP and recent concerts were my Christmas present. I really don’t want anything else.

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

    384/Kristin-it was so great meeting you…what a beautiful young lady you are, inside and out! So glad you got the water bottle and set list. Be sure to frame them for safe keeping, protect that DNA!
