- Consolation: Kristen’s Mavid 11.o compilation, including Oklahoma HERE
- Cookie: Hello, banter, more banter, Billie Jean, My Hero
- Archie and the Magic Rainbow!
The Idols arrive in Kansas City MO to play two shows tonight and tomorrow. It’s David Cook’s homecoming and he had a day full of events today. David reunited with his family in his hometown, Blue Springs, MO where a a large mural painted by local high school students was unveiled. David was visibly moved. The local folk were very excited to have their hometown boy back. As a sidenote, a print of the mural will be auctioned off on Ebay in the near future, with all proceeds going to cancer charites.
So that’s the deal! This is the Cookie Hometown Concert thread. And I’m going to be pretty disappointed if there aren’t a pile of re-caps posted here or sent to my email address at mjsbigblog at gmail.com. So there! Hopefully there will be pictures and videos as well…

I was remembering before about how how he once said while ago, I think on the AI site early on, his dream venue to play was the new Sprint Center in KC..then during his hometown visit top 3 week when he played his acoustic concert outside he pointed towards it and said he hoped that when the tour came there he could hopefully play last if everyone kept voting. Dang. Lump in my throat.
Thanks to everyone who said nice things about my recap. Jolene, thank you so much for the clip of the banter before My Hero and the song. It was so great to see again. To the person who asked where I sat, it was in section 5 on the floor, row 2, and the acoustics were great. I couldn’t see as well as I would like to have, but it was so enjoyable anyway. I tried to walk up closer to get a picture and the security people were very stern about not going closer. One guy told me to go back to my seat immediately or he would escort me out. I snapped the picture and retreated to my seat. LOL The crowd was really awesome. KC did themselves proud in support of their guy who has now become America’s guy. Just wanted to mention one thing. While I didn’t get David Cook’s autograph in person until the third try, my friend Cricket saw him in Cincinatti and got an autograph for me. Now that is a true friend! Trina, I remembered that too and it was the reason I really wanted to see him perform at the Sprint Center. Now I want to go to Tulsa for the last performance of the group and to see him play in his second home town. I want to check out the Blank Slate where he tended bar and lift a drink in his honor and in honor of the outstanding career I believe he has ahead of him with all of us along for the ride.
