I’m gonna try to keep this short, but I will probably fail. I’m tired, still drenched in sweat, and still in shock. I will still try to give you all a nice recap. 
Well, we got to the venue and the first thing we did was get in the mile long merchandise line. I bought EVERYTHING David, except his album, since I already have 3…lol. So I got a shirt (the black one), a GORGEOUS poster, a bag, and a new lanyard. Lots of money, but it was worth it.
So with all of our stuff, we found our seats. On the left of the stage, about 8 rows back from the catwalk. So not really that far away from it. David would be closer than I thought.
There was a cool thing on screen, where you could twitter something to some number and it would show up on the screen. Like a shoutout. Mine got on screen, “DAVID ROCKS MY WORLD!!!” and “I love David James Archuleta.” I was quite happy with myself. haha.
So then, the lights finally went out and KSM performed. They were pretty good, but I didn’t really pay attention, because I was too focused on the next performer. 
They finished pretty quickly.
Here comes the cool part. People started running down to the catwalks. They weren’t being sent back, so my sister and I left our stuff at our seats and found an empty row by the catwalk on the left side of the stage. I was now close enough to touch David’s hand. Shockingly enough, we NEVER got sent away.
So basically, we had some of the best seats in the venue. The curtain went up, the lights went down, and Mega Archie appeared, waving and giving a short little peace sign. I was totally freaking out. (Duh…)
Touch My Hand started and the curtain dropped as David started to sing. I freaked out even more. I was excited enough just to see him, but then being so close was better than I’d thought. On the first whole “reach out as far as you can…” he came to our catwalk. I’d honestly never thought that after his solo tour, I’d ever get the chance to touch his hand again. Because he’d probably not do very many GA shows, and I never get good seats in big arenas.
But touch his hand I did. About three or four times total. I got David sweat on my hand.
He was AMAZING. I can’t even describe it. The first thing I noticed was his hair. I usually like his hair longer and bushier. But it looked SO good. 
The second thing I noticed was his red, white, and blue plaid shirt. He looked adorable. The third thing I noticed was that his voice had gotten deeper since the solo tour. It was sooo rich and beautiful. 
His whole set was incredible. And he surprised us with Como La Flor! I felt pretty special after having been at the concert on his solo tour where he first sang it, and the first on his summer tour.
Apologize literally slayed me. I’m not even kidding, I almost fainted. Because everyone was silent, and it was just his amazing voice and the piano. -DIES- I took a video, and hopefully it’s not too bad.
David’s set seemed to go by SO quickly… I couldn’t believe it when he said it was the last song. But Crush was flawless. I think a little piece of me went with him when he ran off the stage. It’s already hard to believe it all happened.
We stayed for Demi, and I touched her hand about 10 times. I also poked her boot. LOL. The only song I knew and enjoyed was her encore “Don’t Forget.”
But it was INCREDIBLE. I feel so fortunate to have been able to go at all, and then I got GREAT seats, and I touched his hand, and he looked me in the eyes. His beautiful hazel eyes. LOL.
Afterwards, we hurried to where the busses were parked. There were some barricades set up, so we decided to wait and see what happened. About 50 other people came too, so we were kind of swamped. And almost every one of them was there for Demi. So I tried to combat their “Demi! Demi! Demi!” chants with “DAVID! DAVID! DAVID!” It was quite difficult. LOL. Everyone thought I was insane. Demi fans started singing one of her songs, so I got my sister to sing ZG with me. They still thought we were insane. I also sang a bit of Barriers because of the barricades. 
Well, eventually, out of no where, I noticed Dave! The new bass player in David’s band! He was telling some other girls that David had left with his family to go eat. I asked if he’d be back, and Dave said probably not.
So I got a picture with Dave, got him to sign my shirt from the solo tour, told him he did an awesome job, and to pass along my enthusiasm and gratitude to David and the rest of the band. He assured me he would. So I was content.
We left and came back to the hotel, and here we are now.
All in all, a FANTASTIC night. And now I have fantastic memories to look back on.
If you just want a short little recap of the highlights of the evening:
- Insanely good seats
- Touched his hand several times
- Looked him in the eyes at least once
- Heard Como La Flor
- Saw his new amazing haircut
- Met Dave, the new bass player
I’ll have to post my goodies (a few vids and pics) after we get home from Florida. So it’ll be a while. But rest assured, I do have some stuff. 
Hoorah for David!
He sang the Medley tonight but no Apologize…why???
Here is the answer he tweeted :
I didn’t because Kris Allen sang it on AI, and I’m sure the crowd knew his version well haha. So just wanted to respect him.

Hello everyone. Just updating on how things have been. I’m watching kid shows with my little cousins right now haha. They’re quite interesting… lol. They get really random. Right now Yo Gabba Gabba! is on. We were watching Maggie and the Beast, and they just randomly walked by these sheep sitting on a cloud. anyway, I think you’d have to actually watch it to see what I mean. Otherwise it’s not funny I guess. It was to me though. well… it wasn’t funny to my little infant cousins haha. Ok I’m done.
So we had shows in Boston and Philly, and they were sooo much fun! Philly was an amphitheater show, and I think the sun really makes people happier. At least when it’s not beating down on you at 110 degrees. But the crowd was so cheerful and energetic, and it was just a lot of fun. Woah… Sean Kingston is in Yo Gabba Gabba teaching a dance. That’s crazy. I like Sean Kingston. Wow I’m feeling really spacey today. But you guys have to watch this show if you’re bored it’s really interesting. Oh Sean Kingston just disappeared.. This is so weird!
We had our Georgia show yesterday. I had a day off Sunday, and also have a day off today! I have family here so I’m getting to spend time with them! It’s great hangin’ with the fam. My brother’s here too, but right now he’s sleeping. So I’m just hangin’ with the cousins right now. One of Demi’s guitarists, Mike, had a family reunion in Georgia so I met a bunch of his family last night at the show too. Anyway, I probably shouldn’t be writing a blog right now because I cannot focus whatsoever. You can’t blame me though because there’s a lot going on around here. But at least I’ll leave it short! Did you guys buy Regina Spektor’s album? Because I love it.
Well I best be off now to spend time with the family. But before I go I just wanted to mention how valuable I find writing in a journal is. Last year I didn’t really keep a journal, and I thought it took too much time out of my day. I’d do it every now and then over the last few years, but I’d get unmotivated and stop writing. I made it my New Year’s Resolution to write at least once a week in it though, and at first I thought there’s no way I’m going to keep this going lol. But surprisingly, I ‘ve been doing really well with it and I’m so glad that I have. It really helps you sort your thoughts out, and also gets your mind kicking into gear. One of my favorite things is going back to a page and reading what was going on through my mind 6 months or 2 years ago. It’s a really neat thing to do actually. Especially the entries that were before I knew what all was going to happen with music in my life. Think of how cool it’d be for your grandkids and great-grandkids to read about your adventures and what you were like too. You may think, “Oh my life’s not interesting enough to waste my time writing about it in a journal.” But hey, you should go for it anyway and you might surprise yourself how cool it will be reading back sometime in the future. So I’d like to challenge all of you to get a journal and start writing in it tonight! Let me know how you do, ok? If you don’t have a journal, then go out and by one this week. I’m really serious about it, and I’m a true believer in how much a journal is worth. Once you start writing in it, it really becomes priceless possession. Well I’ve gone off long enough about that, but really let me know how you guys do and keep it up! It’ll be sooo worth it in the long-run, even for whoever ends up with it later on. But with that, I leave and say until next time!
Song for the day: Why Georgia - John Mayer
P.S. Thanks everyone for the notes you’ve been sending on the charities you’ve been getting involved with! It’s been really neat to see what foundations you’ve been helping out, and I think it’s awesome! I love to see it!

Gosh, I almost died when I was watching this video…
This campaign is held by a Malaysian Fansites, OneDavid.net.
We are starting our 1st charity-related campaign! It’s objective is to sell David’s CD and spread his music, while benefitting Invisible Children at the same time:
Fans are encouraged to gift a CD to someone they know, or purchase for themselves. The CD comes with either the exclusive lyrics booklet or 4-pc set postcards, and retails for RM38.00 - to be purchased through OneDavid. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Invisible Children by us on their behalf. Each CD purchased also entitles the buyer/giftor to one chance in a lucky draw for an autographed Japanese version of the David Archuleta album. Campaign ends 1 September 2009.
