Okay, so on my Myspace it says "People you'd like to meet" and I have two folks on there: Barack Obama and David Cook. Well, I got 1 of the 2 last night. Sam and I got to the DC show at the HOB, got front row (and the prime spot at that). During the show I held up a post it that said "Silver" (my fav song from a previous album) and he kinda gave me the "I don't think so" look. During the show, he was so close that I touched his shoe!! (SWOON!!!). After the show, I got a set list (sweeeeeeet!) and we went out back by the tour buses. We didn't have much faith that David would come out (he didn't last time), but OMG, he DID! We were one of the first people he got to and I got to have a whole convo with him. I didn't say anything embarassing (i.e. Joey McIntyre -- "I have your naked Barbie doll"..argh). Here's how it went:
Me: Can I have a hug since you didn't play "Silver"?
Big, Long, Cashmere Sweater Full-On HUG!!!
David: (something like) We're going to try to get it on the next album
Me: Analog Heart (the previous album) is the best album ever
David: (something like) What about our current CD?
(True story, not nearly as good as Analog Heart)
Me: Well, I work out to Analog Heart everyday
David: (something like) Really, I didn't really think it was work out material
Me: Well, there's a lot of angst on it
David: (something like) Yeah there is
Me: OH! My big goal is to beat your 5k time (side note: it's like 28 min)
David: (something like) Well it shouldn't be too hard
Me: Well I've run quite a few, even got 3rd place, but all I can manage to get so far is 32 min
....Then he was gone
Oh what a fabulous time!!!! YAY!
So happy that you got to meet him. Thanks for not calling me, teaching requires lots of sleep. :)
