SU2C Recap From Earlier Today!

WOW! Just…WOW. Between the amazing leadership of Pecan Pie and a last minute ingenious idea by Dave Filice to promote more donations, the Stand Up 2 Cancer team, Crush Kids’ Cancer is the team with the most donations overall of any team.  As for the latest challenge, we were closing in on the 2nd place team before the contest ended.  We’ll have to tune in next Friday, September 10 at 8pm EST/7pm CST on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Bio, Current TV, Discovery Health, E!, G4, HBO, HBO Latino, MLB Network, mun2, Showtime, Smithsonian Channel, The Style Network, TVOne and VH1 to see who won!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Pecan Pie for her ongoing drive and inspiration.  Thanks to Dave Filice for donating three items that got people donating again, helping us reach our goal.  And thank you to the anonymous donor who is giving up a signed Chords of Strength as well

A message from Pecan:

A message from Stand Up 2 Cancer team captain pecan pie of team – Crush Kids’ Cancer – David Archuleta’s Angels: To my very favorite 1089 people in the world: We did it folks! Number one fundraising team! A huge THANK YOU to Dave Filice who donated some unbelievable items and put us over the top in donations. Not only did we raise the most in donations, but we also raised the most in awareness by promoting cancer prevention and early detection for ourselves and for our friends. Let’s keep up the cancer prevention/early detection. Mammary Mondays and Testicular Tuesdays will continue as a reminder for monthly self exams. Mark my words, more lives will be saved through this effort. Thanks again! Pecan pie out!

IF YOU DONATED THE REQUIRED AMOUNT ($25, $50 or $100 or more) DURING THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE, PLEASE EMAIL PECAN AT SU2CARCHIE@GMAIL.COM so that she can get your name entered for the prizes!

David Archuleta Interview: AAKD 2010

Thanks to A List Promotions for this gem!

follow them on twitter : @alistpromotions

*Includes the J14 “14 sec” interview…but then David (who loves stats and numbers) asks how many seconds he used. The interviewer thought that maybe he had used about 10 of the 14 seconds to David replied “Dang it, I had 4 seconds left to talk!  I love it!! I’m not surprised! He always gives the very most to his fans!! <33 him for it!!

* He also discusses his use of twitter: that “its random”  “You sometimes do it subconsciously or automatically”. <—Oh  but we LOVE those random tweets (nods head yes!!) and along with his awesome words of wisdom , quotes, and FUNNNN twitterfests like the one he gave his fans today (see below)  he does a perfect job of balancing his tweets!  :)

*David Also mentioned those beautiful words “I’m hoping to tour soon, tour always follows after an album…”  YESSSSSS!

Screencaps~ because I must!

David Tweets then Treats Fans to a Twitterfest!

Was that a tongue twister, or just a whole lotta alliteration?

David tweeted 12 lucky people this morning. You can see his tweets on the feed here on the front page to the lower right. Congratulations to all of those he replied to! I’ll share a few highlighted tweets with you!

The above tweets were in respose to the news that David’s fanbase led donations for the SU2C team challenge reached $16,300.00 <—–from @ RJ0717 and @janey79 informed him that @pecanpie ’s SU2C  Angels (Crush Cancer For Kids) team came in 1st place last night!

The above tweet (I loved this one) came from @HollyreFOD who asked David if he would be wearing those festive red pants tonight. <—– Maybe we’ll see the return of the dazzling purple shirt, or something new! :)

Sidenote: (regarding his initial tweets) I don’t know of anyone who treats their fans with more respect, kindness, patience, and grace , or who gives more to his fans than David Archuleta. I’m personally happy that he briefly shared his feelings this morning. It’s good for others to know about something  that just doesn’t sit well with you. Letting fans know is really a good thing, a normal thing, and a human thing; it helps fans to know what not to do if placed in a similar situation.  David teaches us everyday about honesty, kindness, grace, and about moving forward which is what he did in just minuites! You rock David!!!

Adventures of David in Nashville:

Does that sound exciting? interesting? captivating? Well of course it does because we’re always happy to know what David Archuleta is up to…even when the food he tweets about leaves us smacking our lips or scratching our heads! :) Today David told us per tweet that he had a “Vegan Beet Muffin” so of course I had to find one! Better yet, you can click on this cute little muffin (did I really just say that??) and go right to missionvegan.com where you can learn how to make them yourself! These are Cranberry-Apple-Beet Muffins!

ALSO in Nashville Today~

David tweeted that he was at  WRVW 107.5 The River “watching fellow Jive label mates @HotChelleRae perform an acoustic set” 

Hot Chelle Rae has a very nice vibe. Here they are performing  their latest single “Bleed” 

I’m hoping David will also be interviewed and sing a song or two at WRVW while in Nashville!! (hint hint) :)

@Hotchellerae then responded

and…I can’t help myself; I love seeing tweets like this~(Thanks @frogcooke for the RT  )

 

Yep, suddenly her lunch at Bread & Company got a whole better!!! (If  it was possible for her to continue eating~;) )

Reminder: Tomorrow David Archuleta will once again be singing Christmas music  (as NO ONE else can…shhhh) on stage with the talented Orla Fallon and the Celtic Woman Maev for a show which will air on PBS December 20th. Taping will take place at the Polk Theater. To fully appreciate this beautiful venue, click to go to there for a panoramic view (*caution* it may make you a bit dizzy). Many fans will be donning (yes I really said donning) their red fleece David Archuleta 2009 CFTH tour scarves and possibly even Christmas sweaters while they gleefully sway to music of the season!

Many fans will be in Nashville for this unique concert experience, so fans, we’d love to hear from you! Let us know how it ho ho ho goes!

I still LOVE this song , and until I’m able to play and replay the new collaberation  between David and Joy Williams, “Northern Lights” (*PLEASE let it be on the album*),  I’ll keep finding ways to re-celebrate this gem!
