Misty FTW! One of the best moments of the event was when Misty magically appeared next to me with a cup of ice water. Seriously, saved me!

AWWWWW Shucks... that's the Missouri roots coming out in me.... It's the least I could do!!!! So where are all the pics??? Just curious... it was such a whirlwind... I kinda need the pics to put faces with names... hee hee... I am horrible with names....

Misty! Hey, hey! I'm one of the ones who was up in the bird's nest all day, writing press releases, talking points for Tommy/Nick, and updating the peeps.

Anyhow, I think almost all of our videographers/photographers said they'd be in touch with Deana to get us ALL of the many, many, many pix/vids they took for us. We have only a handful from queen of pop culture, Jess and me (and most of mine are of Nick). We'll have them shortly. Right, Deana?

Hey!!!... yeah dummy me left my camera at home... and if the lovely lady that was with me @ the Sprint Center handing out the benefit fliers Saturday visits here... I am forever in your debt for getting David to sign one of the fliers, as he was out when we were over there. What a day to forget my camera right?

Yep, I have heard from 2 of our photographers so far and we are working out how to get the multitude of pics over to me. I'll update everyone on that as soon as I can.

I was interested in seeing the video, but I didn't catch if a link was posted to it as of yet. Sounds like it was a great one.

I actually have the video in my apartment. Our wonderful videographer gave me the actual tape. As soon as I am able to get it up online I will do so.

It's okay.....I've read through the threads and wondered about it. If I catch Steph, I'll ask her.

I have the actual DVD of Steph's video that played Saturday and the soft copy. As the artist who created the video, Steph needs to decide if she is OK with putting up this verison, knowing that it needs just a tweak or two. I know that she also needed to get it to a few people 'officially' before it was released to the public.

Steph's back in school now, so we might need to be just a bit patient. Hope you all understand that we need to respect the artist's creative vibe & wishes.

Are there pics or videos from the event at the Power & Light District? I keep checking but haven't found any so I must be looking in the wrong place. Was wondering who all won the prizes and didn't see a post on that.

2 of our 3 photographers have been in touch regarding the multitude of photos they took (too much to send electronically probably). And the video from the videographer is with yiddidea.

We ask for your patience. The benefit and the few days leading up to it were so manic that they took a lot out of all of us, and we are slowly coming back to life complete with illnesses and injuries from the weekend.

Regarding winners, alhillia & stacey81 each won 2 tix and 2 after-show party passes that were donated by David. alhillia's daughter won the autographed iPod. Others have already posted about who won the guitar.

I heard from the 3rd photographer today and pics are on the way to me.

I hope to have some stuff uploaded soon. Thanks for your patience everyone!

Yay! Lots of great shots of the crowd, the activities & Nick. (Already made sure Nick got them, too! yay.)

Thank you, maryanns & Deana. Question: Who had the GREAT pix of Archie holding up the Conquer Cancer shirt? I wanna see that one, too!

He was such a good sport and Kudos to Cindy for getting the shot!

I'd just like to say that I cried like a baby watching that video, Steph. You are incredible. And what a GREAT choice of song. It fit perfectly. I will never listen to that song the same way again.

Stacey, thank you SO much for saying that! Thank you to EVERYONE for their kind words on the video. I'm glad you thought the song choice was a good one, I was SO worried about it, as Lisa knows LoL *hugs to everyone*

QUOTE (BLake @ Sep 1 2008, 11:04 AM)

LOL - that was an easy bribe! That's what I was trying to yell to you from the bird's nest when I saw that Lauren won -- "OH NO! NOT PG!" Glad it all worked out!

I'm leaving that up to Saucy. She has a few tweaks that we've asked her to make -- and we've certainly already put her through the ringer on the video edits! (SORRY, Steph, but it came out so beautifully!) If she wishes to post the version that played at the event, that's all cool. But I know that our Steph is a true artist, and I wouldn't want to push that out if she didn't want us to. Plus, I know she was hoping to get the vid to someone perhaps first (?).

Steph? What'd ya say?

Ok, ok...well, since everyone is asking to see it, I will upload the version as it is right now, to my YouTube account. It'll probably take a few hours since it's a big file, but once it's uploaded and everything, I will come back here and post the link for you guys, as nervous as I am about it being released

I HAVE sent it to the person that I "officially" wanted to send it to, but I didn't get any kind of response, sadly I just hope it was enjoyed.

So yeah, I'll be back with the link once it's done Thank you guys for all the support.

Steph, lemme see what I can find out for ya on that; got a few different angles I can work for ya there.

And thank you for uploading it so that everyone can see it.

Totally your decision - as long as your comfortable, your adoring public waits.

It's uploading now, so it should be done in a couple of hours, if YouTube cooperates.

Thanks for posting that, Steph, it was just beautiful.
Perfect song choice, too. I'm sure Andy feels honored that you chose it.
Also, thank you for including my Dad.

I wish I could have been there to witness it's debut on the big screen,
but this was just as good (and no-one saw me cry)
