Idol Reunion in Dallas

I have such a blessed life. Last night I went to see all my old friends again in Dallas. MJ was gracious enough to get me a ticket and backstage pass to the show. (Thank you again MJ) I haven't seen these guys since the finale and even then, the chaos that ensued after the show was so great, I barely got a chance to talk to any of them. After I got inside I saw Stacy, MJ's wife, and we said hello. She gave me a pass and took me to see Michael. Dave came out as well and we all chatted for a bit. Dave even gave me a sneak peak at some demos he's working on for the new album! I was so glad to see my boys again. Missed Luke being there, it wasn't quite the same. Carly came out and gave me a big hug, I was so happy to see "Tater". Everyone was still the same as before. Michael had a grin on his face and said "We've got something special for you tonight Yeager.." And Dave started laughing and then Carly.

So I go take my seat and people start whispering and pointing. I still can't get used to that. Both Chikezie and Carly gave a shout out to me during the show! But then the highlight was during the finale group number. Michael kept looking at me saying "just keep watching" and then at the very end of the song everyone did my little move I did on my last night! OMG I about peed my pants watching everyone bow their heads and pound their arms out to the side. That was the most hilarious thing and even though they were obviously making fun, it was so sweet of them to do that for me cuz they love me. And I just was so thankful at that moment to know each and everyone of them. We had the best time after the show joking about it all. I hung out with them as they did meet and greet with the fans. I felt like I should go but Carly insisted I stay. I didn't want to take away from them and the fans. But Carly kept saying "come on!...come outside, its insane out there, its so much fun!" I didn't think people would even care or remember me but the second her and I walked out the doors the fans went nuts! And she gave me a sharpie and there I was walking down a line of people wrapped halfway around the building with screaming fans. People were calling my name and asking about my son Nathan and about what I'm doing....I was speechless. It felt so good! People were like do you do pictures? Do you have time? I was like "of course!" I kept looking over at Carly and she was just signing and looking over at me and smiling...wow! She kept making me do "The move" for the fans so they could take pictures...ugh....lol. But I had a blast and then we went back inside and I walked with everyone to the bus as they loaded up and Carly gave me a slice of cold pizza that was so yummy! Carly, you really did make my night, and MJ, you are still the same great friend you've always been, and Dave, I am so proud of you for staying true to who you are and staying grounded through all of this. This was one of the most memorable nights of my life guys!!! I love you all...thank you so much for making me feel so special last night! What a blessed life I have....

OMG! This is AWESOME!! I would not have known about this if not for David DASH Cook.org! Luke is GREAT! Luvs him! I like when he says he about peed his pants...LOL! Funny stuff!!!!!

THAT IS ONE SWEET BLOG.
Thanks for posting!
Go Jason Y!
ETA: do you have a link ?

Great blog - Pam posted this on the board as well. I read through it - but my eyes went to the part where David had Jason listen to some of the demos from the new album - so excited.

This AI7 class is really a great group of people.

Boricua, thanks for posting this! It's so easy to miss something like this surfing the web, and that's what d-c.org is for!!! JY's blog entry is a gem.

So, three of the Four Horsemen ride again! Jason is very talented and seems like a genuinely great guy (his son is adorable-remember the cutaways of him in the audience?) I suppose his style was a little too old fashioned for AI and today's pop music scene, but the man can SING. Also, he reinforces what I've noticed about the group: while DC is clearly the leader, as both the winner and due to his outgoing personality, Carly is right there behind him. She's really the second anchor of this group. I love all of them and wish the greatest success for them. There just cannot, in my mind, be a better season of AI. And here's hoping for a fast and thorough recovery for Luke.

So you don't have to surf through to other forums, here's a clip of last night's Mavid... it's a little shakey but you can kind of see what Jason was talking about with the hands out move at the end:

anybody know what Jason is doin these days?

Is it very wrong that reading that made me shout 'Details man, we need details' at my computer

I am so happy for Jason. You can just tell that he was so thrilled to be so recognized and the fans were wonderful to him.

I wonder what website/forum (ahem d-c.org) they were looking at on David's laptop as the pic was taken?

Those boys will be friends for life!

What a great blog! I'm so happy for Jason and glad he had a great night with his old buddies.

Glad to hear Jason had a great time together with good ol' pals.

And true, the Four Horsemen wasn't complete without Luke.

That's awesome.

I'm so happy for him that he got to spend time with great friends and was treated so well by the fans, as he should have been. I hope he's doing well and is accomplishing what he wants out of life. He seems like yet ANOTHER wonderful person to have come from this AMAZING season on AI. There will never be another group like this.

I hope that next time they are all able to get together like this, that Luke will be recovered and able to join them.

Sending positive vibes to Jason and Luke....

and yes, Scott, Carly DOES appear to be the mother hen of the group. Archie has stated several times on how she is his Mom away from Mom. She's awesome.

Don't y'all just wish some of us d-c.org concert goers would get a chance to pull all - or as many of the top 10 together at a meet & greet and just say to them, "you are the best AI cast ever, and will never be topped. Although we're with d-c.org we love you ALL." Or something like that! In the the spirit of our members mobilizing and doing great things, should we organize some sort of message from d-c.org to all of the top 10?

And I don't know why this NYC born, NJ raised, transported to CA boy just used y'all. But I love it.

yeahhh, 3 horsemans
oh, where is Miss Cook-the horse-lover?

Great blog! Glad he had so much fun.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK for jason's blog?


THANKS!!!

Thank you for sharing that! That's a great account of the night from Jason. Very sweet, and glad he had a good time.

They are so cute together! Love them all!

Jason Yeager posted over at IDF to tell folks about his new CD!



Here is a link to that thread, which also contains replies from him as to where he performs in Branson:
http://idolforums.com/index.php?showtopic=575335

AND, to whoever it was that asked for the blog link, it is from his personal MySpace
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endid=183339356
However, it is set to "private", so you'll have to be friended first.

I was sorta hoping maybe David was making another vlog.
