D.C. looks so pale in that Mavid photo. He actually is a vampire, right? Hey, that’s okay with this Buffy/Spike/Angel fan.
And fruit loops are awesome! Haha, another magic rainbow reference there…? With all the cool vintage-ish Kelloggs T’s out there, I wonder why they couldn’t have given the top 10 cute graphic T’s instead of the boring Pop-Tarts shirt? At least it looks like they had fun cutting them up. Though KLC’s choice of fringe-ing the bottom on hers is… um questionable.
I actually will love to listen to the conversations that Jason and Archie have… those have to be hillararious… If they both do an Interiew together the poor reporter won ´t even know what they are talking about…

From Grand Rapids, Archie hears the news that his fans made a team and have raised $14k(at the time, its now 19k) for Stand Up To Cancer. He looks like he may have gotten a little misty-eyed
I’m a little out of the loop since I haven’t seen the show but I’ve watched that Billie Jean video several times… what backbend? I dont get it.
Kristin and EmmaJK, thank you so much for the vid links!!! He. Is. So. Cute.!!
“Speaking of embarressments I think this is at the top of the list. ” LOL!!!
Lu, if you click on Kristen’s vid for BJ and go to the ‘Related Videos’ to the right and click on jbjdiva’s vid of BJ in Grand Rapids it should show the back bend better. I think Kristen turned on her vid while he was coming up from it.
Kristen, you’re awesome! I can’t wait to see your updated Mavid vid!!!:)
I’m slowly but surely getting my videos posted to YouTube. I took over 50 videos. I actually didn’t even think that was possible since there aren’t 50 songs but I had to stop and start some of the videos to take pictures. So I’m joining a few of them back together. I have 5 videos simultaneously uploading right now.
I’ll eventually get all my pictures and video up. I also need to start working on a recap. Thank goodness I’m home and have the day off work tomorrow.
Here’s more Cook banter.
Part 3: David throwing guitar pics, interacting with the drummer, doing math (lol), and filming the crowd.
