To be fair, U-571 did win an Oscar, and Jon does have a Golden Globe. But I'm behind your excitement! David is arguably the best musician in the band, and gets so little credit, and I hope Memphis wins as much as it possibly can, and that the upcoming movie version is awesome as well. Can't wait for the actual awards announcements.

really? aww, well good for him. And I've been schooled, tho I totally deserve it :P

To be honest I've never actually watched the Tonies before, so this'll be pretty exciting ^_^

I've never watched them either...there's a first time for everything, I guess. Like, I never watched "American Idol" until Jon and Dave were on a couple of seasons ago.
Here's a nice article about Dave and his nominations:

A first time for everything indeed! He's skipping a show to go to the Tonys, wow! I'm just so glad that Jon's behind him in that, ya know? That's pretty awesome. :)
