Yep I'll be there as close to 10 as humanly possible

Yeah, we'll probably just wear one shirt twice if our shirt for Chicago doesn't come..which I'm going to call about today.

If you have the blue/white ones, I don't see why you couldn't upgrade..they'd never know the difference? It's worth a shot, even if you got em from Ticketmaster. The worst they can say is no!

My printer is acting up, so I don't know how good quality my pics would be if I tried printing them out. I may go to one of the Kodak machines in Target and print some out.

Just so this doesn't get lost on the 2nd page..

Oh, and Nicole called Allstate and they don't do any kind of upgrading.

I don't have anything for the whole group to sign. Let me know if anyone has a link to a hi-res scan of the top 10 that I can download and print as an 8 x 10.

I'm glad to see that there are others out there starting to freak out like me!!! After watching all the past concert videos I can't wait. I won't be there early as I've said before, but everyone enjoy, and I can't wait to see all your pics, etc.. I'm in 101 EE. Good luck!!!!!!!

Sounds like you are all going to have lots of fun during the day. I cannot get there early otherwise I would have loved to have stopped over and met you all and said hi. Stay cool and hydrated. I will be at the show Saturday night - 15th row on the floor.

Represent us good in Chicago and I hope you all get pictures and autographs (maybe a few hugs too!)

We've probably already discussed this, but I think you're right in front of us! We're in row A!

Yes, we have! I'll look for you. What do you look like?

Nic and I will have on red shirts that have a pic of DC on it with WORD NERD in crossword clues around the edges..

Jul, we're in row C. Sorry to break your heart!

Blahhhhhh i have horrible seats.... but there is STILL time

OK! We'll look for you.

Where you sitting? Also, you better be prepared to pay a price.. it doesn't look like the broker sites are going down. Unless TM opens some up last minute..

Section 204..... at least i'll get to see him at least once when he visits the sides of the stage! *laughs*

I'm in section 104 (Row D), so I'll be right below you! Are these seats really that bad?

Your seats, Stacey? Not at all. You'll have a side view, but think about how close you'll get to them when they come to the wings!

I know someone who sat in the 200s..I think it was on the side too, and she still enjoyed herself. The one time I sat up there, I was WAY in the back...so that sucked.. but you guys are at least close to the stage, even if you're up high.

Okay, I'm finally posting a picture of myself so you know what I look like!

I just took this today because I got my hair cut.

Would anyone be kind enough to print out a 8x11 top 10 pic for me? o:)

Jul - I'm printing one for me for the idols to sign, i'll print one for you as well!!!!!!!

I'm going to get some stuff printed out at Kinko's. I wonder how much it will cost.... last time I went I dropped over $100! Joe was there. I almost died.

Can someone print me a top 10 HQ picture as well? This is the one I was planning on using:

Oooh. I want one!!

I'm excited I found my shirt today for $4 and I figured out my Mikey ideas..now I'm down to Dave ideas

Sammi i'll print that one as well - just yell out in the crowd "Who printed out the pics" LOL or call me by name - Penny - i'll make sure to bring a bunch of copies I'm going to print out this pic for me :

http://davidcooksfan.com/print03.jpg ooooh that pic was too big to be displaying here LOL

Thanks so much, Penny! Can you print off the one I posted, please? The one where they're wearing white?

Will do Nicole!

Thank you SO SO SO much. I really appreciate it! My color ink is very low and the printer has been acting very strangely. Can you print one off for Jul as well?

Penny!! You're so awesome. Could you possibly print off the one that Nicole posted for me? I really love it. Thanks soo much!

Hey guys! I'd love to still join you...if that's ok!

Is there anything I can bring to help out?

I know what you mean Stacey, I get a nervous stomach too before an event or when I am rushed.

Some donuts would be good tho I think. I can get some when I pick up Joy in Highland, but it will be
an hour drive to Allstate so they might not be all nice and warm when we get there...

I am bringing some snack stuff too.





Awww...you're a cutie



Hey Penny,
can you make sure you have a few for me? I can pay you back at the show for photo paper cost.
How is your site?...havent checked it in a couple of days. Cant wait to meet you in person!!

If you can, check your email...I sent you one.

Good morning my lovely ladies! We're only 4 days away!!!!

Did any of you see the latest weather update? There's a 40% chance of rain. I hope it changes and doesn't end up raining.

Penny...can you print out a Top 10 pic for me, too? I just got a new computer and haven't set up my printer yet, and I don't know if I'll get to it by Saturday. Thanks!

I'm getting excited for Saturday! I got my gift for David and some little things for the rest of the group

I think I'm going to try to go to Kinko's to print out some of these top 10 photos. I'll try my best to bring a few extras for those that don't have one (I think Penny has everyone in this thread covered, though).

Four days and I am FREAKING OUT!!! Sort of not in a good way, either!

Can someone print this one out for me too?

I have my MJ and DC prints already, I did them in B&W, which is what i wanted, but if someone's doing these in color, I would so appreciate it and will pay for my copy.

I'll go thru thread and make sure everyone has the pic requested for the big day I'll also bring a few extras!!!

*taps foot*

You know what.... my big boss has one of those extra fancy jumbo color printers....

wonder if it works for pics???

I'll have to test it today!

Good luck with that!! We have a giant color printer at work (huge Toshiba copier) and the quality is horrible. I wanted to print some stuff here, but it's all coming out like crap. GRRR!

I think I'll try to get to Kinko's at lunch time tomorrow or after work.

Thanks again for doing this, Penny! I'll definitely give you something for it.

Yeah..you're awesome, Penny!! We definitely owe ya!

Gahhh I'm so excited now!!! Thank you Penny!

Is anyone else planning to run back to their car after meeting the Idols? I think I'm going to bring my sneakers to change into before the actual show and I'll wanna drop off anything I get signed..was anybody else thinking along these lines?!

Jul and I were just talking about this on AIM. We are planning on taking things back to the car around 5-5:30. The Idols won't come out after that because that's when they do meet & greet inside and soundcheck and whatnot.

Nicole and I were thinking along those lines. I think I'd feel better if my signed stuff was in the car, then I wouldn't have to worry about anything getting crushed or lost. Also..I don't think they'd allow my big bag in.

I will be going back to my car with you guys. I have to bring my DSLR (because it's not allowed in the venue). And also the stuff I'm getting signed!

I'm getting so worried about David spraining his knee. I really hope he takes care of it while they're off for a few days after tonight so he's okay by Saturday.

Yeah, we'll need to ditch the cooler, etc. for sure. So thinking yep.




Oh no, how did he do that? Ive been so busy with the charity stuff, I havent had time to
scan the fansites for updates.

From what I gather, he sprained it while doing another back bend on stage.

I hope he's better by then too!

I hope he's alright by saturday also. I'll be sad if he can't come out to play before the show. They've got a couple days off after tonight, so hopefully he'll take care of himself. I'm sure he doesn't like miss greeting the fans.

And I finally decided what gift I am getting David besides the photoalbum idea...I feel much better now.

I read the Rosemont topic on David Archuleta's forum and someone said that there is an "official" meet and greet at 4 pm where you need to have tickets to attend it (but as for the 1 o' clock one, you don't need a ticket). Is this true and does anyone have information on this? Thanks in advance

I believe he hurt himself jumping down off the railing last night, not during the backbend. He did go to the AP and he signed for about an hour..refusing to sit down. I think after that he went to ice it.

No fear guys..he'll be out there for us, even if he has to sit down on a stool.

I think all of the shows have meet & greets around this time. You need passes to get in and I have NO IDEA how to get them! I've exhausted all of my connections.



Oy! I didn't hear about that! I need to read that thread again!



I'm glad to see that someone here is optimistic! I'm getting an ulcer, I swear!

I feel like I'm the only optimistic one, for once. Also, I'm just judging on past experience. I mean he fainted right before he did Little Sparrow and that didn't stop him from going on.

I don't think the M&Gs before the show are really worth it, because you only get a few seconds with each of them.

True, maybe I'll just spend that time eating some good ol' waffles!

Thanks Stacey. I hope you get to see them earlier then
