A Night with David Cook

I never discussed my amazing evening at American Idol last Saturday. A friend surprised me and took me to the tour here in the greater Chicagoland area. I had no idea! We

pulled into the Rosemont Horizon (the place they were performing) and I was completely clueless. There were no signs or anything. We got the tickets from Will Call and all I saw were posters for Hannah Montana and the Wiggles. I was gearing myself for quite the night. We sat fourth row, right side of the stage and I was thinking, "This can't be that good of a concert if we have this good of seats!" And about the time I was contemplating this thought David Archuleta's Guitar Hero advertisement came on the big screen. I turned to my friend and said, "We're not at American Idol are we?!" And then I freaked out as the tickets were pulled out showing that indeed we were. It was one of my most favorite concerts. David Cook came to the right side of the stage several times. I was so close. About as close as this picutre shows (which is unfortunately from Google images, I kick myself everyday for not having my camera on me, but hopefully you can get a good idea of my closeness.) I could have sworn that while David C. was singing Hello, he pointed at me and sang directly to me, but that might have just been my wild imagination and wishful thinking. Either way it was quite the show and great seats. David A. was incredible, naturally, and Carlie Simons stole my heart with her pure cuteness. All the Idols did a great job.They sound a lot better live then on TV. It was a magical evening.
