    Oh, my sister Donna is going to be there tonight! She won tickets at work just today - I cannot wait to hear about it and see her pics when she returns. I told her to post her recap here, she is a longtime lurker and sometime poster under Idolnerd or something like that.

    WOOHOO!!! I love seeing St. Louis because it means I will see them tomorrow :) I so can’t wait!

    I’m sitting here thinking, I could be there right now. I hope someone has a good recap because I’m sulking.

    I just saw this fan tidbit of Cook answering some questions.. *quirks eye*

    Some questions, not from me, “What cologne do you wear?” “I don’t, just… shampoo.” “When will have a full length of Hello?” “I don’t know, but someone, not me, got the rights for Always Be My Baby, so maybe that will be coming up…how was that for not answering the question?” “Very diplomatic,” I said to him.

    Wasn’t that song just registered like Archie’s Crush?

    I listened to a cell cert and both David’s had big responses tonight… shockingly.

    “I don’t know, but someone, not me, got the rights for Always Be My Baby, so maybe that will be coming up…how was that for not answering the question?”

    Is this quote from the last few days or is it older? because there was some fan encounter with similar info about a week ago, only he didn’t say “so maybe that will be coming up” then.
    I’m trying to figure out if this is additional new info or just fans retelling and embellishing the same story.

    There are some Cookie pics from St. Louis posted here (credited to PrissycookieBR of d-c.org).

    We just got back home a little while ago. It was definitely the best Idol concert. I had the “time of my life”. Now, I’m very tired and I must go to bed. I’ll probably recap in the chat room, tomorrow night.

    A video clip from Fox St. Louis: American Idol Tour Stops In St. Louis.

    Also, appearantly Cookie had Andrew and his mom, plus some of his old bandmates there tonight.
    Can’t wait for the videos!

    Jolene, that Cook conversation appears to be a rehash. It was a brand new recap but the lady was in Sacraemento. I didn’t figure it meant anything anyway, at this stage of the game, it’s just fun to speculate and see if we can pick up any clues.

    ROTFL though guys, you should check out TWOP because there is a hilarious picture posted of Cook holding someones half done knitting. The expression on his face just kills me!

    You are absolutely right, just goes to show how anxious I am for some single release info, I’m looking for news in fan encounters!
    Hopefully something a little more official will come out soon.

    Dang it I can’t find ANYTHING on TWoP! Maybe I’m navigationally challenged on that site, I dunno. I can’t even figger out how to search. But anyway, thanks for the link to those GREAT photos, purplesmile! Fabulous. I am so excited to see this show. I went to the S2 show but was not really impressed. I am totally going to see David Cook since he’s not touring solo yet! I’m going to the Dallas show and the 2nd show at the Sprint Center in KC! Considering the Tulsa show as well. AND just waiting patiently HAHAHAHAHA! for David’s album. In the meantime, I sustain myself with mjs, some myspace, iPod, whatever I can get to keep from entering withdrawal. :tongue_wink_ee:

    kathrynTX, Try this:
    Go to the site.
    Up at the top, find, “Forums,” and click.
    When you get to “Forums,” find “American Idol.”
    When you get there, click on “The Performers.”
    When you get there, click on, “David Cook–You Had Me at Hello.”
    When you get there, you’ll see the page numbers. Click on the largest number, which is the most recent page today.
    Hope this helps. If you get the urge to comment, BE SURE to read the sticky note at the top of each page, as well as the FAQ, and the Do’s and Don’ts. I’m not kidding. They are VERY strict. (I’m giving you the whole set of instructions so you’ll be able to do it on your own.)

    I hope it’s okay to do this here.

    Well thank you so much for the detailed instructions! Found it. Yes, pretty silly. And now I have another place to read about DC! You guys are great.

  20. 20 Pam Jul 19th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    hahaha Sparkles that expression on Cookie’s face is priceless! Thanks for the awesome find.

  21. 21 aly Jul 19th, 2008 at 3:16 pm

    Thanks Sparkles for the laugh!!!!
    loved it.

    Those pics credited to Prissy are actually my pics. I posted them when I came home between the busses and the concert. I also was one of the cellcasters for Rickey. He was standing a few feet down from him when he took the pic with the half knitted sock. I actually met that person and she’s taking it with her everywhere and having its pic taken with all sorts of people and things. She’s planning of finishing it up in Tulsa and getting the final pic there. It was a great show and St. Louis showed the Idols much love. They were all kinds of awesome too. Especially my man David Cook.

    I’m sorry if I credited the wrong person, cinel, and thank you for your pics.

    We attended the concert last night and it was fabulous! Cook’s mother and brother was in the audience. Cook teared up a few times as he looked at his family. His brother was also crying. They flashed him up on the screen. Awwww Cook and Archuleta were fantastic! David A mentioned that the “Arch” must be named after him, ha!Loud crowd, lots of energy!

    Thank you, cinel22. :) I just found out my sock pics made it over here, and I appreciate you coming to the defense of Sock. She’s a lot more than just half finished knitting to me. Feel free to use any of my pre-show pics from my Flickr photostream. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mamatofive/ Please do credit them back to celticfish, however. The full story of the sock is about to go up on the David Cook LJ community, and is also posted on Ravelry in the AI forum, if you’re a knitter and really want to know.

  28. 28 spritely Jul 19th, 2008 at 11:35 pm

    celticfish, I don’t post on TWOP, but I lurk like crazy, and I have been following your adventures with such pleasure. I’ll go over to LJ community to see what else you’re reporting! Thanks for sharing.

  29. 29 celticfish Jul 20th, 2008 at 12:00 am

    Spritely, I’m having some issues with LJ, but they’ll be up soon. :)

    Thanks for the pics, celticfish. The socks pics are funny. I also love the one with Jason and Natalie. :)

    David Cook runs and hugs Jason

    That is SO cute! LOL, I love these guys.

  33. 33 awilliams Jul 20th, 2008 at 1:17 am

    I also love the one with Jason and Natalie. :)

    What a great picture! Jason seems very natural with children. Working with kids through his church must contribute to that.

    Betcha he could do a CD of goofy kid songs….RAFFI style… and sell them out.

  34. 34 celticfish Jul 20th, 2008 at 1:48 am

    Jason is amazing with kids. I had all five of my kiddos down there yesterday, and he was super-sweet to all of them. Archie was very nice to my four year old, as well. The best moment has no pictures, but David Cook took about five minutes to chat with Natalie and made her feel like she was the only person there during their conversation. He got right on her eye level, and asked her about her David Cook shirt, and where she got it, and if it would be cool if he wrote his name on there with his marker. Ramiele was awesome with the kids, too, and Brooke talked with my oldest daughter for a while about some of the fun stuff they got to do on their day off. It was absolutely worth every second.
