Chicago! Chicago!
Sorry, I’m running a little late on everything today, but I spent the day yesterday traveling. I’m in Chicago, IL where I plan to attend the American Idols Live show tonight.
Not that I have a ticket, or anything yet. But, uhm, I’m sure things will work out.
Speaking of traveling, it took me 5 extra hours to arrive at my destination yesterday. The plane took off right on time, but 20 minutes into the flight, a man sitting directly across the aisle from me got sick. And when I say sick, that’s an understatement. I heard a noise, looked to my right, and suddenly I was transported into a scene from The Exorcist. We are talking major projectile vomiting–all over himself, and everyone sitting around him. Not me, thankfully, but a slight turn of his head to the right, and I would have been toast.
The flight attendants tried to clean up the mess with borrowed baby wipes and blankets. All I could do was look on in horror–a pretty seriously gross scene. The man in question was fine. The folks sitting around him? Not so much. The pilot had no choice but to turn the plane around. After we landed, a couple of big burly medics came on board to whisk the man away. It turns out he’d taken some medication before the flight that didn’t agree with him. Afterward, I sat in the Boston airport for 4 hours while the plane was cleaned and another flight crew was found. The folks in the path of the deadly projectile got upgrades to 1st class! At least that’s something. The rest of us left to witness the horror–nada. I might have nightmares about that.
Anyway, here I am. Still looking for tickets. For fun, I’ll be stalking the buses today. Hopefully I’ll get a few words and a couple of pictures from the Idols that I can bring back to the blog. We’ll see. More later!
Headlines will be up in a few…

Carly IS amazing. :smoke_tb:
Ya……..for Carly and Michael (in all his Hawtness)
The Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRB….I’d just as soon have QTips shoved in my ears and my eyes removed with a spork, then watch or listen to Snarly. I am planning my beerrun during her set.
But to each their own……
Awesome awesome awsesome concert! I was also at the season 5 show, but really only liked Elliott & Chris D then, so this one was soooooooo much better.
David Cook was of course awesome–he was the reason I was there, and the man definitely did not disappoint, but honestly, I loved MJ, Carly, Brooke & Jason too–5 out of 10 ain’t bad at all for an idol show. MJ & Carly were especially fantastic, and everyone else was good too, just not my cup of tea.
Oh, and my ears are bleeding from the Archie fan who sat next to me–oh to be young again and be able to screech that high….
“Slap Jasonnnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s cute little butt for me while youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re at it. Jk lol.”
Did you get to? I am sure you will have NO problem recognizing it thanks to many lovely pics posted recently from Purple.
Oh, I would sure like to meet a lot of you someday somehow at a tour!
That sounds really cool, how about you get the beer first and then do that little parlor trick as sort of a night cap. :dunce_tb: In fact, if I recall correctly, that may have been among the deleted scenes of the Hostel 2 Director’s Cut DVD.
I had four young Archie fans sitting directly behind me in San Jose who sang (if I may be so generous as to gild their caterwauling as such) along :surrender_tb: with David, thankfully they only knew the words to half the songs in the set.
KrazeeK, I see why you thought you were responding to me… I didn’t realize there was a Sparkles and a sparklesgirl2!
