Remember those canceled dates from the David Archuleta/Demi Lovato tour? David is in New Hampshire today, getting ready to perform the first of those three dates tonight.
He describes the gloomy weather (it’s freezing and gross here in New England–I have two sweaters on) and how he’s got to brush up on the songs–it’s been a few months since he’s performed them. He also talks a bit about speaking at the Utah Women’s conference on Monday.

Hola! I am in New Hampshire right now for the last 3 shows with Demi Lovato this week. We had rehearsals today, and they went pretty well. I haven’t sung these songs for a while haha, but it’ll be fun to do them for the shows. It’s fun seeing all the crew people again! It’ll be fun to perform for all you guys again! So let me know if you’re coming to any of the shows that are coming up! I know the weather has been pretty gloomy, but apparently I left Utah right as we were getting some major snow in that area. I prefer the rain here in the east over the freezing snowstorms in the Rocky Mountains. I hope everyone back over there is safe though.
So last Monday I spoke at the morning session for the Utah Women’s Conference. I was the speaker for the morning session, and Laura Bush was the speaker for the afternoon session. I was a little nervous to speak when I was trying to figure out what I should say, but the more I thought about it the more I surprisingly got excited to speak. I really had a great time getting to talk about what was on my mind and share it with all the ladies who came haha. I’m glad that Senator Orrin Hatch invited me to come, so thank you very much Senator! How many of you were able to make it to that conference, anyway? If any of you took notes I’d be really curious as to what was note-worthy I guess haha. My sister Claudia came and brought my friend Ashlee with her, and they took notes. It was really odd to think that my sister and friend were taking notes on what I was saying, but I thought that was really neat at the same time. So if there was anything you were able to learn from what I shared I’d love to hear what stood out to you!
Today I got a great workout in! But the bad thing is while I was running on the treadmill I did something to my back. It still doesn’t feel very good lol. During the rehearsals I just sat on the stool, which was really weird during Zero Gravity! I’m hoping that I can move around better tomorrow haha. Imagine me singing “Nothing brings me dooown, when you’re aroound” and I’m stuck on a stool. hahaha… It’s funny as long as it doesn’t actually happen lol. Well… it probably would be funny even if it did happen. But oh well. Anyway, I’m probably finished talking. Oh wait! Halloween is this weekend! If you guys have any cool costumes you should share! bwahahaha. I really don’t have anything in mind for myself costume-wise, but I guess we’ll see if I’m in the mood when the day comes closer. But all right, I’ll stop talking now and talk to you guys next week! Ciao.
Song for the day: Live Like We’re Dying – Kris Allen
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been working on it for a while. He plays things pretty close to the vest when he wants to. (Too bad some on his friends/family/hangers on don’t…or didn’t.)
Evidently, someone (maybe the publishers, just guessing) approached him about writing the book for him. He decided he wanted to do it himself so it was in his own words. The publishers publish books for/about/by Latinos.
As for the 224 pages, my guess would be that it is probably a target number or an average number of pages those types of books have. I was looking at some other books of this type these publishers have done and that seems to be in the ballpark.
And yes, he’s sounding really, really good after a nice break to rest his voice. Anyone listen to the cellcast tonight? He was a talker, wasn’t he? heh. Getting more confidence daily. The women’s conference speech probably helped with that.
Not too pleased to see him being a typically stubborn 18-year-old male and disregard doctor’s orders about jumping around on stage tonight. He’s gonna pay for that tomorrow. I’m sure it was the adrenaline and he just forgot. But still….ouch! But I understand he was “petting shiny guitars” again tonight…so there were probably pain pills involved. hahahaha!
haha! Yeah, looks he was feeling a lot better. Watched a couple of the vids this morning. He’s bouncing all over the place as usual. He sounds awesome.
