Anyone still there? Since Dave's been on tour and is about to head into the studio to write and record us a new album, I figured it was time to dust this place off.

Since we last spoke, David has been on tour debuting new songs, coming up with a more "fun" concept for the next album, rappelling down buildings for charity, and covering The Boss

I got to see him TWICE on tour. Once was back in October at Irving Plaza (I actually took the picture that my icon is from) and then in December at Atlantic City.

Obligatory showing off of pictures: Irving Plaza
Atlantic City

I am still waiting to get my meet and greet (they sold out before I knew I was going to Irving Plaza and there wasn't a meet and greet for Atlantic City other than through the radio station that sponsored the concert since it was free) and picture with him. :-( He didn't come out after the show for Atlantic City because they had to leave at 4 Am for the Chicago concert that next night. But I did get to stand RIGHT up against the stage/barrier and stand literally right in front of him. I stared up into his eyes but we didn't make eye contact as far as I remember. >.>

It took me a while to get VIP tickets, so I feel you there. I tried waiting for him outside after the first show I ever saw him at, but because some crazy loon from Tulsa had snuck onto the bus the day before, they shuffled the guys onto the bus and left super fast. :(

But your pictures are killer awesome!

Whaaaaat? That's crazy. Was that back when he first won Idol? I didn't think they still had a bus (they have a van that they drive now I guess?). One of the girls standing near me at the Atlantic City concert was saying that there aren't nearly as many loons in the fandom as there were when he first won and that's why they've been so laid back with doing meet and greets and such. But ugh, there's always at least one fan who ruins things for the rest of the fans. :|

Thank you! I got really lucky with most of those, and part of why some of them look so good is 'cause I edited them and made them that way but even so...I'm really proud of most of them.

It was about a year after he won, I think? So still some crazies leftover from his Idol win I suppose. Ugh.

Yeaaah, definitely makes sense. People were nuts when he first won. I'm glad it seems to have mostly died down (though I swear when I was looking for as much of his banter on youtube one night, I saw one video where someone grabbed at his crotch or something because he'd come out into the audience onto a platform or something like that. I don't remember how recent it was, though).
