WOW! Everything sounds so exciting! Thanks for the live reports and for your very palpable enthusiasm! We can all feel it!

Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisa .... tell us!!!!!

Here I was just about to log off and Lisa's holding out on us! Come on girl!

Lisa -the suspense is killing us.

Nope, need s'more enthusiasm . . . .

Saucy's video played TWICE. The second time to a nice crowd, peeps had tears! GO, STEPH! Congratulations! So proud of you!

And Alhillia's daughter won the iPod!!! (Ummm . . . so NOT PG. Gotta get with alhillia on that!)

********** drum roll***********

$25, ............... (there's more)

WOW ... looks like we're gonna need a new goal amount soon!!!

YAY!!!

the suspense - please give us the $amount - WE ARE AT THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS!!!!!!

you are the biggest tease ever

Dammit.......

Is that enough enthusiasm????

OMG! How close are we to the total goal??

COME ON LISA.......

I'm hitting F5 like I'm waiting for a MAVID clip!

WE MUST BE JUST SHORT OF GOAL - HAVE FAR ARE WE FROM THE GOAL LISA.

$25,212.08

What'd we think? Are we gonna hit goal before we leave David's home market?! Hmmmmmmmmm..........

The triple-dog-dare ya Charity Challenge *might* help, but I don't think it's gonna get us quite there. . . .so close. Maybe some of the media coverage'll help! We did get some online donations during the event. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO ENTHUSIASTICALLY participated and donated today.

Sorry we couldn't open up the game of chance/prizes to everyone! Silly state laws in Missouri - like, seriously funky.

That's OUTSTANDING!!!!

GREAT work guys!!!!

WOW - WE ARE SO CLOSE. THAT IS SO AWESOME

Lisa - that's the total of all the initiatives together?

That is seriously a FANTASTIC total so far. Looks like the bar is gonna be raised again before his birthday.

I am in awe of DC fans... seriously!

The triple-dog-dare-ya charity challenge stuff won't come in until very late tonight. VERY late. But I hope to have pix before we leave KC so that we can call in the pledges for it.

LOL - you guys aren't gonna believe this when you see it! Thanks to our generous benefactors for backing the triple-dog-dare-ya challenge.

Alright, guys, it's time for the girls of the bird's nest to shut down, log off, eat dinner, go back to hotel, SHOWER, HYDRATE, and get to the show hopefully by intermission. The things we sacrifice (like the whole first half of the show -- and our sleep and our sanity) for David Cook.

Any last questions/requests before we shut down?

So are you saying you want 788.00 by tomorrow?

Well, I'm just sharin' info.

And I'll just leave you with this li'l bit of information: we already have a press release drafted for all media in David's home market so that this moment would become part of his homecoming weekend.

Guys, he was so apologetic that he couldn't be here today, and he really wanted to be. His schedule is just crazy, because he's the hometown Idol. I feel badly that he kept apologizing for not being able to make it. He tried, guys. He tried so hard. And we all dearly appreciate that.


Oh, and apparently we are NOW OFFICIALLY the Charity Chix. Tommy introduced us that way at least a dozen times last night & today.

Lisa, thank you so, so much for updating on this. I've been thinking about it ALL DAY as I'm sure you figured. I can't believe it played TWICE, wow. And people cried?? Omg LoL I will not cry, I will not cry, I will not cry Thank you again SO much for getting me involved in this and for thinking of me, it means so much, as you know. By doing this video I felt like I had a small part in something really important to me, and it also made me feel like I got to be in KC this weekend, in a way, since I couldn't physically be there. Thank you so, so much.

Also, thanks for the Nick video!! It was great see him perform!

AND THAT NUMBER!! OMG, so close!! I got so excited when I saw it!!

~Steph

I have just reached out to my NJ/NY/LI Team with the dollars raised to date based on today's events.

If each team raises a little bit each over the next few days we can reach the $26K Goal.

I think we should reach out to our teams.

...Annette

Great idea! Our team just picked up an additional $25 team donation from someone who shall remain anonymous (thank you, M!)

So for all of you who have enjoyed Jess' videos, recaps and want to thank her for staying up late to post everything ... click the banner on her page (or the one below) and donate to ACS Team Virginias/DC!

I just went into my ACS Personal page and sent an email to my team address book. We can do this over the next few days.

David dash Cook dot Org - WE ARE A FABULOUS BUNCH.


GO TEAM!!!!

I'm going to do the same. If anyone here wants to donate to my team, click the ACS link. My personal page is under my name, Scott Gutman... or you can donate to the David Cook team directly on the ACS site by clicking the thermometer link at the top left of all d-c.org pages. Or Annette's page. It all goes to the same place and counts toward our goal!

I just made an $800.00 donation - we made our goal and more I am sure. Way to go everyone. Love is awesome and giving feels so good.

Kathy

Kathy FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding!!!!!

KATHY FTW

OUTSTANDING

OMG, guys! I won tickets and passes! YAY! Team Atlanta was first, but I got second. I didn't see that mentioned, so I thought I'd squee really quick before I head over to the show!

Congratulations Stacey - tickets and passes to tonight's show???

Stupid question but what does FTW mean??

FTW= For the win

And yes, congrats Stacey!!! Enjoy, girl!

Ok its done....I'm in.

Kathy, you ROCK! I'm glad you spent your money on this, rather than prying that guitar out of Dyann's hands!!! LOL!
I sent a couple of solicitations out to some work colleagues whom I've mentioned this to but had gotten around to contacting. Maybe we'll get 1 or 2 hundred bucks more!

Who won the guitar??? I still want it. I guess if all else fails, I can buy one since right now I am just borrowing one, take it to Tulsa and try to get his signature.

Kathy, your donotion is already reflected in link from the thermoter tote board. YEA! Now we just have to update that thermometer (that's done manually, right?)

AWEsome - thanks so much for making us all feel a part of this. Nick rocks!
