Hey Concert Buddy Sherry!
So glad to find all of you here! I must tell all of you, that I am first and foremost a David Cook fan, but your Jason won me over when I met him at the Meet and Greet in Chicago. I won an auction for the afternoon Meet and Greet inside the arena. He was so sweet, relaxed, and personable. And I have to say girls, between that smile and those eyes- oh to be 20 again! Also, I liked that he really looks you in the eyes when he speaks to you. Well, in Chicago, I was just waiting for DC to come on, but then Jason came on, and I must say he was fantastic! To me he sounded incredible in person. My mom, sister, nephew, all were really impressed as well.
Well, Kansas City was really a last minute decision for me. I was getting my ticket and making reservations at 2 or 3 AM! I just really wanted to be in the American Idol's hometown. I just felt it would be a really special concert and it truly was. As I said, I saw them all in Chicago, and they have all progressed so much since then in terms of stage presence etc. I spoke briefly to David's mom and she agreed that they were all coming into their own. She saw the concert in St. Louis. She is a lovely woman by the way. She is very down to earth, and I think a bit overwhlemed by all of this instant fame for her son. I felt that all the 9 other Idols really wanted KC to be extra special for their buddy David C. They were all really ON both nights! The energy and love in that building was unbelievable! At one point David C laughed, and said something like, Guys, I can't concentrate! It was cute.
Back to your question Sherry, I don't think the pretty girl with the wedding picture was who Jason was referring to because he said a different name, not Laynie.
As for the hotel. When I got back to my hotel after the show, I was just drained from all the excitement, but didn't want to go to my room yet. So I ordered a glass of wine and sat in the lobby. There were people milling about and a couple next to me asked me if I had been to the concert. I said yes and they wanted to know how it was because that were going the following night. Then, they mentioned to me that the buzz in the hotel was that the Idols were staying at our hotel! Well of course, I wasn't going upstairs now! Sure enough the fancy busses pulled up and they started coming in. The lobby broke into spontaneous applause for them. Most of them went straight up to their rooms. But Michael Johns was at the front desk for a while. So was Carly, but she looked exhausted. Michael was very open to conversation and pictures. I did talk to him, and I can't believe I forgot to ask why they didn't do the Mavid! Silly me! (They did it the next night) I then saw Mr. Archuleta in the lobby. I asked if I could shake his hand. He was very nice, but looked tired as well. David A was already up in his room. I just told Mr. A, that I thought his son was amazing and did a fantastic performance that evening. When I turned to go back to my chair, I noticed that the elevator door opened and who walks out but Jason on his cell phone! He made a fast exit toward the front door. We were chuckling thinking he was out to meet some friends or something. I did not see him come back inside. But when I saw him on Sat. and teased him about sneaking out of the hotel, he just laughed and said he had to go back and get something off the bus, but he couldn't figure out where the bus was parked. All the Idols stayed there, except DC. I am assuming he stayed with family.
The next day, we saw them all get back on the bus. Archie went to Chipotle first! By himself! Then, he, Brook and Carly came back together and got on the bus. Jason was by himself when he boarded the bus and gave a big smile and wave. Kristy Lee came out without a stitch of make-up on and looked so lovely. That girl is a natural beauty!
I also spoke with the head tour person who is always with them. I forgot to get his name. He remembered my family from the Meet and Greet in Chicago. He said the tour was being driven by the popularity of 3 boys this year. We all know who those 3 boys are! OK you Jason fans- he told me Jason gets the most gifts of all! I must say, I felt you were all really wonderful and welcoming people.

Hey Angela
I am seriously thinking about Tulsa. I will let you know. My mom and I decided not to go to Green Bay afterall. I was very tired and still buzzed about KC.
Great pictures by the way! Did you get your giftcard to Chik? I can't remember! Have a great day!
