Meeting “American Idol” David Cook

…out near his trailer.

From left to right:  Neal, Joey, my lovely wife-April, David, myself, Kyle and Andy.

Notice a few things:

1).  I’m wearing a KC Royals hat.
2).  Neal is holding a baseball.
3).  April is holding two (2) photos.
4).  Sunglasses are hip.
5).  I have a special pass affixed to my left thigh.
6).  David looks the part.

• I’m wearing the Royals hat because David Cook was raised in Missouri and remains an avid KC Royals fan.

• Neal is holding the baseball because I had everyone in the band sign it. 

• April, the kind and generous soul that she is, picked two young girls out of the crowd who were standing behind a barricade trying to get an autograph with their Mother (made impossible by security). 
  Hence, the two signed photos in her hand.  Yay for April!!!  Boy, do I love her.

• Sunglasses?  Everyone’s wearing ‘em.

• The backstage pass allowed us past the big, beefy security guards. 
  Why are you covering yours up, April??

• His look says it all.

After exchanging some baseball chatter and some handshakes, we parted ways.
(I told David if he sees the yellow shirted home run catcher snag Jose Guillen’s 200th career homer on ESPN-it’s me.

A few pics of the show…

The band put on a great show.  If you like a little new age rock, I would highly recommend seeing them perform.

The walk out during the encore…

A random shot of pollution…

The baseball I had signed…

…ahhhh, baseballs.  What else is there to get signed??
