Just found out that David Cook will be the "special guest" at this acoustic show in December. He will be there with another of my faves, Gavin Degraw.... Colbie Caillat, Natasha Bedingfield & Flyleaf will be there as well.

Hubby surprised me with tickets this morning..... I am sooooo freekin' excited!

Anyone else going?

I will probably go. I'm trying to convince my husband to drive 4 hours, but we need to be sure DC is going to be there before buying tickets. I called the venue and they said is not confirmed, but one radio station is even promoting his show...I don't know what to do...

Yeah, I know.... It has to be him though... I mean, just all the little tips the radio channels have been hinting at... Then David being here right around that time for the AI Experience opening... I'm pretty confident, right? LOL!

Ah, even if not... I still get to see Gavin which will still be cool!

Yay, more Christmas Cookies! Of course, none close enough for me to attend, so thank goodness for YouTube.

Don't expect video from this show or pictures. No cameras or anything what so ever is allowed in the HOB. They will search everyone like crazy.

Awww no fair.

You've restored my faith in men. If I could find one as nice as yours I just MIGHT consider getting married again, LOL!!!!!

Oh, I know... It stinks! I about had to lose my place in line at my INXS concert because of my camera. Blah! Not even attempting this time... Just have to rely on my crazy camera phone

At the INXS concert my husband managed to go inside with his small video camera, but when he was filming parts of the concert (as a favor to me), some security guy took the camera away and he had to go outside and pay a penalty...Here is the link of the short video:

Well they search you like crazy. Metal detectors and all. So no way sneaking it in. It sucks I know. They do have camera check at the door.

Oh YOU'RE the one with that video! OMG, you dont' even know how many times I've watched that! Such memories You must have been right down from me.

I tell ya, I'm a wee bit spoiled... 2nd row for INXS & 1st row for Daughtry... I don't think I could handle anything less. LOL!

Is that AI Disney thing happening in December? I though it was like the first of the year, and then they delayed that.

(Posted November 24, 2008) For 25 years, children of all ages have unwrapped the magic of Disney on Christmas day on ABC. This year the Emmy Award-winning "Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade" celebrates its silver anniversary with a two-hour television extravaganza. The special, hosted by Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa (co-hosts of "Live with Regis & Kelly") and Ryan Seacrest ("Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2009 with Ryan Seacrest"), will air Thursday, December 25 (10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., ET and 9:00-11:00 a.m., CT, MT, PT; check local listings) on the ABC Television Network. Hollywood's biggest names and Disney's most beloved characters will bring the holiday magic home in song and style as they light up the holiday from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California.

Superstar sensation Miley Cyrus ("Hannah Montana") will kick off the show at Walt Disney World with a blockbuster performance of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus ("Hannah Montana"), will also rock and roll with his Christmas single, "Run Rudolph Run." The hottest teen band in the country, the Jonas Brothers ("Camp Rock"), will perform their Christmas tune, "Joyful Kings," and Corbin Bleu, star of Disney's blockbuster "High School Musical" films, heads to the front of the class for an A+ act, singing a Disney Parks original song, "Celebrate You." "American Idol" winner David Cook will put his rocker spin on a holiday classic, and musical legend Jose Feliciano performs his holiday hit, "Feliz Navidad." The song, beloved around the world, has been honored as one of the "25 Greatest Holiday Songs of the Century." Broadway comes to Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom as cast members from Broadway's "Mary Poppins" are joined by hundreds of dancers performing choreography from the smash hit, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." The stars of Playhouse Disney's "Imagination Movers" series sing an original holiday song, "Give a Gift," and world-class soprano Sarah Brightman will perform an inspirational holiday song from her new Christmas album, "A Winter Symphony."

At the heart of the show is the parade itself, where favorite Disney and Pixar characters take center-stage for television's happiest parade as it makes its way down Main Street, U.S.A. at Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California. Also, show-stopping musical numbers such as "Festival of the Lion King," featuring favorite Disney songs, will create memorable musical moments the entire family will enjoy.

This year's show will be broadcast in HD, and it will also be broadcast in English and Spanish (SAP).

OMG!! Cool! Now I need to know what Christmas song he is going to put a spin on!

Is this actually taped earlier than Dec 25th? Because David said he was taking the last two weeks of Dec off? Anybody know? Maybe he is taping this while he is in Orlando in Dec.

Just noticed this over at DCO.... It doesn't say "to be confirmed"... So maybe it's true?

Thanks travis! Cool, it's televised...though this looks like another case of wading through two hours of muck to see David. Oh well...you know I'll be sitting there watching it anyway.

I was kinda hoping that he'd get to go home for the holidays, but maybe he'll get Dec. 26th to New Years off or something...

just a heads up, this isn't live. i heard it was already filmed on Saturday November 8th.

Thats great to hear - I know David has said he trying his hardest to have the two weeks off for the Holiday.
