2011 MKOC Tour: Ventura!
How could a whole year have flown by since this epic concert! It was one of my favorite concerts EVER! David was on FIRE that night and the audience was singing along and dancing throughout the show (except the reverent songs of course!) David feeds off the energy of the audience, and he had plenty of that in Ventura!
Thanks to Shelley for sharing her amazing photos taken from the front row!

So that’s where the messy hair pics come from! I always wondered.lol…..kind of love it that he just had fun with it that night.
Kalei, thank you. (have I ever mentioned I love your name and the way it’s spelled?)
Have a lovely, peaceful Sunday, everyone…….love singing Christmas carols at church, imagine that’s what David’s doing about now.
Hi, By chance!
Going to church too in about half an hour.
sarahhazel lol hope so too!
Bychance love the messy hair pics! love the messy hair!
Guessing he’s not gonna get a haircut for a while after he comes back.
Haircut vlog….(Duke’s so cute!)

Good morning Pastel and kimk! Sounds likeChristmas FUN!
Checking in before work…..LONG day today! Hate these extended hours! ENJOY your time in Davidland and your day!
Good Morning everyone… great post Kalei! Such FUN TIMES at Thaifoon ~picture taken on the night before David’s dress rehearsal performance on Thursday (if memory serves). HollyreFOD gathered us all together and it was just wonderful seeing all those smiling faces in one place! *not sure who to credit for this fabulous picture*
…and, as an afterthought….. messy hair FTW! lololol
Hello Bychance! LOVE the messy hair pics too!
Good morning Marylee!
Good Morning Judy! Hope you’re doing well my friend…busy time of year for all of us and especially for you at your job! Bet it’s been crazy in the retail world!
getting late…time to back away from my computer and get some stuff done… have a great day you guys however you spend it. ☺
Today’s video pick of the day Angels From the Realms of Glory, MOTABS, Dec 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpXFx-RpMCM
The unthinkable tradegy in CT has gotten me really upset the last few days.
I use to substitute at schools for many years and it breaks my heart to hear something like this happen at an elementary school. I really hate guns and wish there was something we could do as Americans to stop this violence from happening over and over again. Does that mother really need 6 guns in her household? Sorry to be a downer guys.
Thanks Pickles for that video in the last thread. It was really moving. POTC would also be really fitting. David’s voice does heal me when I feel down.
As for the “JustAfan” person in the last thread, we have beaten that horse too many times already. You do what you think is best for you and we will do what is best for us. Thank you and have a fabulous Sunday! That is all I am going to say about that.
Well better get some more shopping done. Life is short, we need to cherish our love ones and let them know how much we love them. Happy Holidays everyone!
sarahhazel the haircut vlog is one of my favs.. for so many reasons. thanks for posting it!
Thank you so much for the awesome post Kalei.
sarahhazel if I think about it.. that vlog kind of reason I like him so much. adorbs, the way his mind works.. very unique and love his sunny nature. pure gold all of it!
lol and YES LISTEN TO YOUR MOMMA come 2014 let the hair GROW!! she rocks just like you David!!
My word, that is some glorious head of hair! Wild hair day FTW!
I wonder if we will know when David receives the Book of Birthday Wishes, my granddaughter Christiana will be one on Davids Birthday.
kimk-I was just going to say the same thing, Momma Lupe knows best, grow it longggg!
I find his mind amazing, when you look at vlogs like the Haircut one, it amazes me how easily distracted he is, yet when singing he is totally absorbed in the music. I remember the vlog he did outside in the snow and how he was distracted by an icicle, worrying it was going to hurt the cat. Very unique young man!
Candy momma Lupe has quite the eye for what is stylish. just looking at her you can tell that. her sweet personality.. think D got that too.
hope she and the fam are doing well.
hmm is that her and the fam? not sure but miss his silly sisters too.
give anything for a couple of crazy tweets from them.
light went poof when David went away.
Candy he really is quite unique.. and special.
ha that vlog.. even the pup ain’t gonna kiss him.
well time to go wrap myself in wrapping. Something tells me the elves are on vacation! BBL
Good morning everyone.
Kalei–Thank you for a wonderful post. I love POTC and what a fitting song to listen to on these tragic days.David singing it makes it more beautiful.
I love coming here everyday when i can, i haven’t met any of you personally, or David.
but since following David from AI and bieng on FOD for the last 3 yrs, i feel like i know all of you. You are all my extended family.
My biggest wish is still to see David in concert. I have to leave for church. will be back later. Have a nice day.
kimk–I agree….”Listen to Momma Lupe!”
Patty-Ann @pabuckie
Thank God for @DavidArchie’s music. It can pretty much get me through anything.
Hi, NCG, daily lurker, Candy, Linda!
Linda oh my you need to meet David!!!
))))
I wonder if David (missionaries) are not allowed to know what is going on in the world, being their focus is only on trying to convert people to Mormonism….sorry I’m just generally angry and I find it so hard to keep some feels to myself.
Sorry that’s “feelings”
good afternoon-David made it into the top 12 on Musiqtone poll voting starts at 2 pm ET today. Love POTC hard to decide which one to vote for. Going to do some Christmas wrapping, before voting.
http://musiqtone.com/music/thecount/pop.php
Love your post today Kalei!!! Shelley’s pictures are so fantastic!!
David placed 2nd in the Pop Bracket on Musiqtone. Voting starts again at 2 pm ET for all the brackets, so get those index fingers in gear. LOL!!

breanne a tad confused with the pop poll.. voting nonetheless
Pastel @pastelpastel
CANNOT BELIEVE MY EARS!! Entering #TorontoAirport & I hear @DavidArchie ‘s music. So I joined in singing Ave Maria while on the people mover
is anybody having a problem voting on the Pop chart on musiqtone, it comes up an when I vote for David, another poll comes up for alt rock, it won’t let me cast all my votes for David. I am totally confused.
Kimk, yes does the same thing to me. But i will keep trying to vote till it gets straightened out. Anything just to keep Davids name out there.
cq, I would guess that David would know about the crisis. Didn’t he (through Kari) tweet about something catastrophic a while ago. I can’t even remember what it was.
Sorry meant Nora.
Breanna, do we have to vote on both pop & Country to get back to pop?
Linda-I just got my 100 votes in, maybe they fixed it, when I voted for David the same alt rock names came up so I arrowed it back to previous and Pop came up and let me vote 100 times, don’t know if I explained it right, I’m not computer savoy.
I, too, am having the same problems voting on Musiqtone. It never comes up the same way twice. Hope this gets figured out. Breanne usually knows the score!
pop bracket seems to work for me.
http://musiqtone.com/music/thecount/pop.php#popbracket
Nora—Thanks, i just got my 100 votes in too.
Woot! David placed 2nd!!! I’m ready for the next round!!! VOTE, ARCHIES!!!

See ya guys, later!!!
The Pop Bracket on Musiqtone is now working properly! Be sure to get all your votes in everyday. Most of us have been able to vote 2 times a day. David was #2 in the Intial Prelim Round behind Carly Rae Jepsen (Call Me Maybe):
http://bit.ly/tcLzUl
Let’s show everyone how we know how to ROCK the VOTE!!!!!
Actually the video for Carly Rae Jepsen is for This Kiss but she is the one who sang that song Call Me Maybe. David’s Everybody Hurts mv outclasses everyone else’s mv on the list by a million miles!!!
Breanna–Thanks, you are on it.
Thanks, Breanne. You always know the right answer and the right link. One question: Why is it the top 8 out of 12? Shouldn’t it be the top 3 or 6 out of 12? Does this countdown go on for eternity?
Man, these online countdown/poll/survey/contest-makers can smell an Archuleta fan a mile away.
Rapport–Hi! yeah ,your right, they know that Archuleta fans are always good for polling. And if i say so myself, we are pretty darn good at it. We may not win all the time, but we know how to put on a good fight. Ha! Ha!
Linda, I think David’s fandom deservedly gets more brownie points than most. Everyone knows an Archie is undefeated in dedication and over-the-top supportive of the amazing vocal talent, deep-rooted character and exemplary servitude David displays every day of his life.
Like you, I will always put up the “good fight” for my artist-of-choice.
Rapport!! AMEN to that.
right there with you rapport
Where is the wrapping Fairy GodMother when you need her! Ten grandkids equals a lot of wrapping. Time for a break!
Rapport and ray…add me to that AMEN list! When David is involved, it’s always a “good fight.”
the 4.5 earthquake this afternoon in chile was only 50 miles from santiago so i’m sure david felt that one! wonder if he’s getting used to all these earthquakes??
glitter-girl, you usually get use to them, except for the big ones. I don’t like those at all.
I’m having chili on this chilly evening, wishing I was in Chile.
rapport~ oh haha!
i wish i was in chile too (eating chili) 
Rapport, glittergirl, me three. Chili in Chile sounds good to me.
I just voted my second 100 for today.
Hello Kalei wonderful post. So it’s the hair this evening. Yep it is wild and crazy and we love it. I do like his look right now. He looks a little older yet younger at times. He’s ageless. I was listening to David sing Christmas music at Pandora radio. Aww lovely. I see our votes have made a dent on Musiqtone. Better than Q102. That was futile!!
Candy- I have 10 grandchildren and 3 greatgranchildren. I’m so wrapped up today, it isn’t funny.
Rapport, I sure could go for some Chili in Chile. Sounds good to me.
Sgj–OMG!!! You are wrapped up. Bless all of you that have such beautiful treasures.
I have my treasures too, just not as big as you, but treasures never the less.
They say that God never gives us more then we can handle, well i guess he thought you could handle these gifts with love.
I think i need to go hear David sing a song, because i’m getting emotional, i’m listening to the presidents speech. So sad. BB
Linda- Me,too. The President said lovely things. Mr. SGJ and I have definetly been blessed. Thank the good Lord. They are all sweet dear children.Four are adults now but to me they are still children. My one grandchild just called me that David’s Christmas music is on Pandora. They are starting to get him. Let’s face it, how can they not. I’ve told them and showed them all the music and sweet things David has done in the last 4 years.
Sgj!–Know what you mean. My family is the same way. I already told my daughter she will go with me for Davids first concert in 2014. She just says ( YES MOTHER ) ha,ha.
GOD willing,
I’m sitting in front of the fireplace right now, nice & cozy.
Goodnight Everyone, Take Care All!
Watched the service tonight, comforting &
heartbreaking all at once. The quote from one
of the little boys who said I know karate, dont
worry I’ll lead us out. Those sweet little ones,
those lost & those left behind & of course the
teachers, who gave their lives for the children.
Thoughts & prayers to all, you’re strength, grace
& compassion are an inspiration. May the love &
prayers from the nation, the world. bring them
warmth & comfort.
Linda, You daughter sounds like a sweetie. You sound like you’re having a relaxing evening. Rest and take care. We are all depressed from this evil act. I cry everytime I hear or see the news. The President sounded comforting and was very kind and heartwarming. He is a good man.
Goodnight sweet Beth. Take care.
Goodnight BETH– Hope you have a good evening. Rest well.
Linda,Goodnight friend. See you tomorrow.
Dang it!!! Everybody Hurts is no longer on the TOP 10 for MYXPH!
In addition to voting on Musiqtone be sure to vote 1 song hourly for Everybody Hurts & Broken on Chart Central:
http://chartcentral.frihost.net/cc/
Rapport at 4:21, don’t know the answer to your question. Does seem like this poll will go on forever!! Maybe they want to make sure they get lots of hits on their site. As long as David is on their poll, they know they are going to get lots of hits from his fans!
Sgj, goodnight. Sweet dreams.
Breanna, Dangit!! Is right. Wonder if they will ever release RAINBOW to MYX.
As long as Davids name is out there i’m in for any poll. PROMO! PROMO! PROMO!
EH is still on MYX MIT 20 so we can keep voting for that.
Breanne, time to bring in Rainbow remix video to Chart Central. I bet it will have more success because of it’s upbeat feel. Love EH, but I do feel that David’s glorious voice does not match the videos subject. Omo, the video is kinda to sweet. The only story that had real guts was the one about the soldier. I’m hoping that when David returns he puts out stuff with depth and great production to match his phenomenal voice.
cq# I agree with Rainbow bieng on Chart Central, would like to see it on MYX too. But it hasn’t been released yet. I wonder why???
what i wanna know is why can’t we see the ALTNOY video?????! does anyone know?
Tami-lyn you can see it, i have it on my favorites.
tami-lyn you can find it on youtube.
Linda – the official Vevo version of ALTNOY is no longer available to be viewed in the United States. It hasn’t been for a couple years. Are you able to see it??
Look at what I made today. It’s my daughter Amanda’s fault. She was craving them, so it made me crave them, so I made them. I make my own dough so it requires many hours of rising the dough, letting it rest, etc. Started them at 12:30, finished at 6. http://twitpic.com/bmocwu
Ali, Yes. Don’t know how i got it but its in my favorites under youtube, It still plays, i just checked it.
It says Official Music video. On You tube
Hm, can you post the link to it Linda? I’d like to see if it plays for me
Janel, now my mouth is watering… looks YUMMY!!!
Ali,
Just go to david’s website, then select Media then Videos. You can play it there. Here’s a link… http://davidarchuleta.com/home/?page_id=638

Ali- good you have it now. Thanks Wil & Martha.
Thanks for the links, Wil & Martha!! I still don’t understand why they could never fix it on YT/Vevo but it’s nice to know people can get to it other places. I like that video.
LOL I wasn’t really looking for it in the first place. I have a copy of it downloaded. I was just talking about the official Vevo version not being available for the U.S.
I actually emailed Vevo about it over a year ago but they never got back me. They must not be able to figure it out either lol.
I have officially wrapped myself into exhaustion! Going to end the night by enjoying Kaleis terrific post. Good Night All
Martha!!….waving hello! Janel….can I come for breakfast? G’night all.
Goodnight Candy…wrapping….feels good when it’s done!…looks pretty, too, if you can still see straight.
Goodnight everyone. I bet your presents look beautiful after they are all wrapped. I miss wrapping presents. Sweet Dreams everyone. See you tomorrow
Janel i saw your cinnamon rolls on facebook. They look delicious.
Mango and Linda, they are Yummy!!! I don’t use premade dough either like Rhodes. Don’t like the taste. Mine are yummier anyways. Only Cinnabon can compare. (yes, tooting my own horn on my baking abilities). And yes, my frosting is cream cheese frosting. I use powdered sugar, cream cheese, vanilla and milk. Bychance, we had them for dinner! LOL….but there will be some for breakfast tomorrow. What I’m surprised is my 19 year old son Caleb has only had one.
They are good to eat while listening to David music. Then again, anything goes good with David music.
Good morning FOD! HAPPY Monday!
Catching up on comments and VOTING…then off to Nana patrol! Under the weather….think a visit to th doctor is in the cards for me today! ENJOY YOUR DAY guys!
