Thanks for all the welcomes! It's great to see KC folks here too! I think that's one thing that has really impressed me about the whole David Cook phenomenon; how just about everyone in the KC area was rooting for him and supporting him from the start. It's really something to see a hometown guy hit it big like he has!
I agree - it is just fantastic! I was in Blue Springs last week and it just made my day to still see so many "Congrats David Cook" signs/billboards.

It can be a danger, though. Last weekend, I was driving on 470 and there was one of the lighted, animated billboards with a giant DC picture and a congrats message. I almost ran off the road I was so excited.

Has anyone else seen that one?
