"'Congratulations on your win, sweetheart, I brought you a trophy...' aaand, go."

First of all: bitchinparty registration is on Saturday! EEEEE I AM SO EXCITED.

But mostly this is going to be another post about David Cook. I'M SO SORRY. I CAN'T HELP IT. I AM HAVING SO MANY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW. Like, okay. He makes a SURPRISINGLY HOT ZOMBIE, for one thing. Hot bantery zombie.

I WANT THIS AU. BECAUSE OF REASONS. I wanted it from like the first line, but this:

And at one point Dave gets scouted by a major-league team, has a cup of coffee in the big leagues, but has to be moved off the roster to make room for up-and-coming phenom Kris Allen.

SEALED THE DEAL. FUND IT. Also I am totally into Neal AND Devin being on the team. And Andy playing shortstop or maybe the tagalong reporter. I WANT IT ALL.

I'm going to see if the airport wifi will allow me to watch the FIM video. IF SO, I'LL REPORT BACK WITH FEELINGS.

ETA: I have seen it! My predominant emotion is "David Roland Cook, IDK about your hair right now, but I would still do you in a heartbeat."

WOULD THAT NOT BE AN AWESOME AU? I mean, I'm not gonna write it--if I write anything that dugrival and I came up with, it would be the prep school AU that we plotted out a couple of years ago--but man. It is REALLY FUN to think about. (Also I forgot that we made Andrew the mascot. HEE.) Speaking of Dave and baseball, did you see this? The same story about giving up a home run to Albert Pujols that he has told a bunch of times (Andy's subtle "oh god not this story again" is hilarious; ANDY WHY DO YOU HATE BASEBALL, I JUST WANT TO LOVE YOU), but with slightly more detail. Talk about hanging curve balls some more, Dave! ♥_♥ NEVER HAS A TALE OF BASEBALL FAILURE BEEN SO ATTRACTIVE.

David Roland Cook, IDK about your hair right now, but I would still do you in a heartbeat.

I DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT HIS HAIR, CARRIE. THAT IS HOW MANY FEELINGS THIS VIDEO GAVE ME. (Also I was watching a clip of his early Idol days recently and it did remind me that his hair has been WAY, WAY worse. Heeeee.) ( Speaking of Dave's hair. LOL FOREVER

He is incredibly extra hot when he sings that song (not in the rocker guitar sex way, but still, HOT) and the video is doing him all sorts of favors. SO I CANNOT BLAME YOU FOR YOUR FEELINGS.

Oh man, looking at early Idol Dave is bleak. I keep thinking "there is a super-hot gentleman in there. Somewhere. Under the mohawk and the soul patch." (FRAIL BUT DETERMINED SAMSON. OH DAVE.)

Hahaha, I had not heard that story before, so SHUT UP ANDY. (I LOVE YOU ANDY.)

Thanks, bb! <3

Yeah, part of his appeal to me is that mixture of conventional romance and dirty sex; like, I imagine he would make you dinner and then fuck you on the kitchen table, you know? YES PLEASE. Also this album is all about his feeeeeelings so I like the introspective vibe of the video, cheesy though it may be, and it feels more like his ACTUAL feelings, as opposed to the super-styled feelings of, say, the CBTM video. You know? Plus I have a weird weakness for songs in waltz time, AND I love that he's been breaking out the acoustic for this song on tour. But there are definitely times when this song comes up on my playlist and I'm like, "Yeah, no." Hee. BUT I love the video. Love love love it. ♥

I keep thinking "there is a super-hot gentleman in there. Somewhere. Under the mohawk and the soul patch."AHAHAHAHA. Right? Dave has talked before about "where were all these girls before Idol?" and it's like, um, did you see your hair, honey? Because that's probably part of the reason. (Though I have to think that, hair notwithstanding, if he had

I thought we couldn't take cameras, so left mine at home and my camera died halfway through their set, but I got a couple good ones of Andy and DC. I know that naughtiest got some AMAZING shots. When she posts her recap, I'll link you!!!

I still have to edit mine though, and I'll post them in my recap when I don't feel like I'm going to fall over, but for now -

[otherbella]

also.

They were ALL exceptionally hot zombies. I was ready to offer my brains and body.

Lie was perfect.

I had coughing sniffle sobs watching the video because he keeps wearing those chains and that g-d bandanna in his back pocket EVERY SHOW and YES FADE INTO ME WAS A COOKMANN SONG FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT. our colors become something new? UM HI.

So basically everything you said, yes.

[brynnmck]

OMG HOW CUTE ARE YOU?! I'm SO GLAD you were there--I saw those pics and immediately thought of you because I knew that was your neck of the woods, but I couldn't remember for sure which show(s) you were going to, so. YAY. (I am a huuuuuge fan of that jacket on Dave, too. UNF.) I HEARD ZOMBIE!ANDY STARED INTO YOUR SOUL. I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THIS. :D

Re: the video: YES. Just. SO MANY FEELINGS. And actually if I pry off my tinhat, it becomes kind of a sweet story about Dave/band and Dave/audience, which is awesome? But yeah. That video is about 2/3 AWWWW and about 1/3 SNIFFLE for me. It's kind of exactly what I didn't know I wanted, though, so I'm loving it.

Hope you get some rest, bb!

I basically co-sign everything about this post, SO hard. (And, LMAO at your Zombie!"Lie" interpretation :))) )

HEE. Thank you! ♥
